16 Compact Furniture Pieces Made For Small Living Rooms
Having a small house or tiny apartment can make it hard to be organized; I know from experience. I recently downsized into a much nicer (but way smaller) place, and I was lacking one major thing: closet space. Suddenly, I didn't have a place to store extra blankets or pillows. I also had to get rid of my large sofa bed, because it was just too big. As I started to redecorate, I set my focus on shopping for space-saving furniture pieces that would help me make the most of my new apartment. Not only did I want functional and stylish pieces, but it was also important to get ones that were affordable, too.
One of the things I was looking for was a space-saving sofa bed for guests, but one that also looked nice. I was also hunting for coffee tables and media consoles that have tons of storage space for my extra linens. Ahead, I curated a list of my favorite picks on the internet right now. From sites like Amazon and Urban Outfitters, I found tons of great options at every price point. Keep reading to shop them all.
