A small apartment needs to be furnished wisely and choose compact and multifunctional furniture for it. We talk about suitable options and share secrets on how to make furniture work for the interior.
1. Built-in wardrobes save space
One of the easiest options to save space is to build a wardrobe into the wall. Thanks to this solution, several square meters will be freed up in the bedroom or corridor. The photo below shows just such an option. By the way, the color of this storage system is also good for small spaces – light furniture makes the space visually larger and more airy.
2. Mirrored furniture will make the room look bigger.
Using mirrors is a long-standing and favorite technique of designers in order to visually enlarge the space. But it is not necessary to use the outdated version with one mirrored door – you can go further and make the entire facade of the cabinet mirrored, as in the example below.
3. “Soaring” furniture will create the effect of weightlessness
Hanging furniture is another clever design trick that makes a small room look bigger. It is not necessary to choose only suspended structures, you can look for furniture that imitates it: on thin legs or on a support.
4. Transparent furniture looks inconspicuous
And owners of small apartments can take note of this – a table with a glass surface, a dining area in the kitchen made of plastic or glass, or a bedside table will “facilitate” the interior of the apartment. Such furniture in the style of minimalism and hi-tech will look especially good.
5. Bed with storage modules combines two functions
For small apartments, a place where you can put bedding, pillows, and blankets is of great importance – because they take up much more space than we would like. Therefore, in such cases, beds with a storage system are a real salvation. The photo below shows an interesting example – there are not only drawers for bed linen, but also shelves for storing things and cute little things.
6. Sofa bed solves the problem with sleep and accommodation
In a small apartment, no matter how much you want to have a full bed, sometimes you have to give it up – especially if it’s a studio or one-room apartment, where a family of three lives: mom, dad, and child. Then choosing a comfortable sofa bed is the only right decision. By the way, you can also put mattress covers on it when unfolded to make it more comfortable to sleep. A variety of assortment in stores allows you to choose this type of furniture in any interior.
Below is the folded version.
And when unfolded, it looks nice.
7. Modular bed – another practical sleeping place
When there is only one room and you can’t afford to put a full-fledged sleeping place, you can go for the trick – make a modular design. Do not worry: the fact that such a bed can fall sharply on someone’s head is nothing more than a myth, but the pleasure and proper rest after sleeping on it is pure truth.
8. The secretaire will replace the desk
The secretaire seems to be a relic of grandmother’s apartments and in vain. It’s so convenient to have both a desk and a storage system in one item, and besides, today there are affordable offers, for example from IKEA. The secretaire of this brand is presented in the photo below, and it will fit into any modern interior.
9. Tall cabinets make efficient use of space
In small apartments, the right decision is to “go up”, that is, use all the usable space up to the ceiling. This is convenient, especially in small kitchens. It is better to choose light facades so that the room looks lighter and visually larger, than you can afford tall wall cabinets and place everything you need there.
10. Bathroom furniture can perform many functions
Often in the bathroom, it is not customary to put some kind of furniture, except for the cabinet under the sink, and then – rather for reasons of aesthetics, to hide all communications. For small apartments, where every square meter counts, you can choose multifunctional bathroom furniture and place everything you need there, freeing up surfaces in the bedroom.
