Furnishing a small apartment looks like a puzzle. Are you in endless rearrangements to make your space more comfortable and in the meantime to save extra space?
Even though you may be toiling to save space in your small apartment, it should never limit your creativity to find a solution. We are now talking about the 6 must-have furniture pieces that are essential for your small apartment and have aesthetic appeal.
1. 1. Select sofa sleepers or corner sofas
Corner sofas are an ideal option for small apartments. It multiplies the number of seats in the room and makes it look more inviting. Sectional corner sofas enable you to choose the right configuration that best fits in the living space.
Sofa sleepers will ensure an additional and comfortable sleeping zone. With sofa sleepers, we won’t even need to buy a new bed. Sofa sleepers at Ashley Homestore have orthopedic mattresses and the upholstery is anti-allergic.
Sofa sleepers with narrow armrests make a perfect match for small living spaces not to block room traffic.
Interesting fact. Sofa sleepers were first invented in 1899 by Leonard Bailey. Later on, it got refined by Bernard Castro in 1991.
2․ Select transformer tables
Still, struggling to find a proper-size table for your living room? We suggest that you have a careful look at the range of transformer tables. They are quite multi-functional, have lift tops, and are suitable to be used as a coffee table, a small dining table, or a desk. At Ashley Furniture Homestore you may find a great variety of transformer tables that will best fit your taste and style.
3․ Select bedroom furniture with lots of storage opportunities
There’s always a need for extra storage in the bedroom to store the bed linen, and summer or winter clothing. Beds may be classified into 2 types: sofa beds and ottoman beds. Sofa beds have drawers on the sides of the frame, and in the case of ottoman beds, the entire bottom can serve as storage. If you are looking to organize seasonal things, we suggest you choose ottoman beds, and if you are just looking to store things at hand, then choose sofa beds.
If you can’t afford a new bed right now, our designer recommends buying a bench with storage and placing it in front of the bed.
Bedroom furniture at Ashley Homestore also stands by the excellent opportunity of comfortable seating and built-in USB ports.
4․ Think of alternative ways to reuse the traditional furniture
Small apartments always require a creative and flexible mindset to find new solutions for saving extra space. Never limit yourself to the primary purpose of the furnishing piece. If you have bought an end table, a console table, or an ottoman, it doesn’t mean you are unable to use it as a small dining table in the living room, a dressing table in the bedroom or as a chair.
Going the extra mile always helps to get the unimaginable done.
5․ Use the chest of drawers
If your living room and bedroom are built together, but you’ve always thrived on privacy in the bedroom, no worries, we advise you to buy a chest of dressers to zone out the space without spending the extra penny on the construction. Secondly, they will serve you as amazing storage for neatly arranging books, photographs, etc.
6․ Select round dining tables
It’s no secret that round dining tables may accommodate more people than square or rectangular tables. Choose the small round tables for the kitchen or living room. However, at Ashley Homestore, you can still find a nice and comfortable rectangular dining table with chairs and a bench that accommodates more than usual.
Trick. Wall mirrors and mirrored furniture make any room look visually ampler.
Don’t avoid using large furniture in the small living room. Large furniture in a small apartment oftentimes helps to get a cohesive look rather than putting small pieces of furniture inside which makes it look a mess.
