Just because you can fit a sofa through the door doesn’t mean it’s the right size for your space. But before you go to a lot of trouble with that tape measure, learning a few tips for finding the best small-space furniture for any room will save a lot of stress.

– Don’t overload the room!

Opt for fewer large pieces of furniture. The room needs to be ventilated to avoid clutter.

– Make sure every part serves a purpose

If it’s a bit tight, make the most of your budget and square footage by looking for versatile furniture with some flexibility. For example, the sofa is a trundle bed and the poufs are coffee tables/seats.

– Keep furniture simple and functional to leave room for the décor

Small spaces need style and functionality. To save space and streamline a small apartment, opt for a sofa with multiple storage options. The kitchen counter is also a dining table, and the bed hides storage drawers.

– Pay attention to proportions

The idea is to keep the space open, airy and colorful. Use, for example, a small, low loveseat instead of a larger sofa. It also makes the apartment more open. Place additional seats in the corner and a coffee table opposite.
