10 Compact And Efficient Pieces Of Furniture For Small Spaces

Small space living is challenging, but doable — as long as you use some out of the box thinking and look for compact furniture with double functionality, you can create a fully functional environment even in the tiniest of rooms. And here are some incredibly useful pieces of furniture that will help you make the most out of your available space:

Living room

Corner TV stand — corner TV stands  are great additions to any living room interior. These classic decoration elements normally require a lot of space, but corner model solves this problem effectively. Plus, if you go with a stand that also has a cabinet, it will offer you a very impressive storage capacity — even despite its compact design.

Coffee table with storage — another classic living room unit that can feature hidden storage. All in all, killing two birds with one stone should be the first thing on your mind while decorating a small room.

Bedroom

Bed with storage — a bed  like this can either have a sliding (or lifting) mattress and empty space below, or simply come with integrated drawers. While the first option offers a greater storage capacity, the second one ensures quicker and easier access. That is, the right choice of a model will depend on what you are going to store in the bed and how often you are going to use these things.

Built-in wardrobe — if you are lucky enough to have a spacious niche in your bedroom, turning it into a built-in wardrobe is a ‘must-do’. While working on the internal storage units, note that shelves offer much more functional storage space than drawers.

Hallway

Narrow shoe cabinet — narrow shoe cabinet with an inclined shoe rack does not require a lot of space and can store plenty of different shoes. Compact design and great functionality make the piece a perfect fit for a small hallway.

Hooks instead of a coat rack — to make the most out of your available hallway space, you should better use simple hooks instead of going with a spare coat rack. The storage capacity will be just the same, but hooks will not require any space at all.

Kitchen

High party table and bar stools — for a small family of two, or a single person, a high party table with a couple of bar stools will be a perfect substitute for a dining table. Compact and stylish, the arrangement will give any kitchen a modern look.

Counter table with drawers — a counter table with built-in drawers will be very useful for storing spices, utensils, and other kitchen stuff. And, of course, it can be used both as a serving and a dining table.

Dining room

Compact extending table — to make sure you have some place for your guests, go with an extending dining table rather that with a fixed size one. A 4-seater model can often double its seating capacity.

Narrow sideboard — a narrow unobtrusive sideboard will look natural in a dining room and will offer you a very efficient storage solution
