Furniture and storage tips for small spaces

Perhaps you​ just​ ​bought your first home or moved ​to a large city to pursue your dreams, yet your apartment or house is lacking in square footage or closet space. Or maybe you live in a smaller abode with a roommate and need to reduce the clutter you both accrue. Whatever the reason, everyone can usually agree that no matter the size or situation, people are always on the lookout for maximizing their existing space. Here a few ways you can design efficiently and comfortably:

  • Multipurpose coffee table: Though you may love that minimalist, glass-topped look, it may not be the most practical for your home. Buy a coffee table with plenty of drawers or storage space to keep your extra guest bedding or your extensive movie collection. You can still incorporate that look with a glass-topped end table by your sofa to provide a surface for your table lamp and various memorabilia you want on display.
  • Room separator: If your living room is also your dining room and even blends into your kitchen, you may want to ​construct ​some division or privacy. There are plenty of ornamental, yet practical room separators that can partition your space with ease. If you also lack the luxury of closet space in your bedroom and use a clothes rack, you can use an artful separator to disguise your mess, while adding more decoration to your room.
  • Bountiful baskets: To hide all those essential knickknacks you need, but don't know how to organize, store them in woven baskets. Invest in one or more open, large bookshelves and fill it up with these efficient storage units.
