Small spaces are something urban dwellers can’t ignore. Studio apartments and small flats usually face the problem of insufficient space, cramped storage areas, and tiny rooms, sometimes without windows! It's not all negative, though. Tackling clutter in small spaces is much easier, simply because there is less area for you to cover, so you can get through the mess quickly. Small dwellings also feel cosy, and are easier to play around with decor-wise, allowing you to change the look more frequently. Here, we show you how to maximise the space you have, with some clever tips and tricks.



Sweet and Simple

Sharing a one room apartment with your BFF this semester ? We are here to show you how two people can comfortably co-exist in the same space, without getting on one another's nerves! Invest in double-duty items: a comfortable sofa bed, which can serve both as living room furniture as well as a bed, is a great option. Instead of a big coffee table, creatively put together small ones to save space. This way, they can be moved around easily and also used as individual elements (hello, temporary desk)! Use vertical wall units. This will save a lot of potential floor space, while making intelligent use of the walls. The area below the shelves can be used for storage - collapsible bins will fit well. Use folding chairs and in-wall wardrobes . Et voila! Simple yet effective tips for a small space!

Making the clutter vanish is the first step to bigger “small” bedrooms. If you’re stuck with a small space but plain decor isn’t your style, don’t hesitate to use a dash of colour, mostly through the furniture and accessories. Use the double-duty furniture concept again: this platform bed with double storage is a clever choice. Tuck a coat rack into a corner - you can hang clothes on it and line up shoes underneath. The Darby dresser is a lovely addition to any girl's bedroom! Keep the walls a neutral, light shade - this creates an illusion of more space.

Colour is one great way to trick the eye into believing space exists where it does not. S pace-efficient furniture is another excellent solution. Here, we've again chosen a comfortable sofa bed that works for sleep or for seating, and saves a lot of space. A streamlined wardrobe may not fit all your clothes and accessories, but will take up way less room than a bulkier model would. The Savannah space saver study table, with its clever, fold-out surface, will both look good and get the job done, efficiently . Consider a low-slung coffee table which will help create more open space. The multiple drawers also help in the storage of clutter.

Rustic Mancave

Every man needs the right decor to make a statement, even if it’s in a small space. Also, since men tend to veer towards darker colours, a small space can look even tinier when decorated with dark shades. Choose one item and let it be the focal point of the room. As it will be a statement piece it can be slightly larger - like this black leather sofa. De-clutter your entryway with the Striado coat rack and shelf. Don’t compromise on the bar you’ve set your heart on. Instead, find a sleek version that will fit neatly into a corner. Instead of large lampshades, metal pendant lights work wonders.
