Furnishing a small space can be a challenge but with careful planning and smart selections, it's certainly achievable! A good strategy is to choose functional items to make the most of your small space. Let’s begin with the top 4 space-saving furniture pieces you need:
- Modular pieces allow you to create a size and configuration that best suits your lifestyle. Easily move pieces around to accommodate different scenarios in your space.
- Sofa beds are versatile and allow you to easily turn any room into a sleep area for overnight guests. Even though the primary use is seating - you will want to look for features you would find in a regular sofa: style, fabric or leather preference, size, shape and so on. Sizes usually include: twin, double, queen and queen plus, and of course look for a comfortable mattress with a good operating mechanism. The most notable improvement in this category are the variety and quality of mattress and mechanism options – they open like a charm and ‘sleep’ like a baby.
- Storage Ottoman in your living room can and will be used in so many ways: as seating to accommodate extra guests, as storage to hide extra toss cushions, throws and other clutter or as a coffee table (with a tray; to serve treats, drinks, cocktails, coffee or tea).
- Nesting Tables are great space saving pieces with tons of functionality. Nesting Tables are a set of small tables that are graduated in size and height. Easily nested together as one to save space – and used individually to provide a surface to serve or eat on when entertaining. Similarly, Ottomans have dual function where you can use them as an extra chair or as table next to your sofa.
