Wall Beds

While browsing through the furniture available for small spaces these days, you’ll be amazed at how they are created with great style yet really functional. One example of that would be the wall bed, which can now be cleanly and wholly concealed during the day but can be quickly pulled out when needed at night.

Another fantastic example would be a full-size Murphy bed attached to the back of a bookcase. Inviting some of your families or friends to come over for a sleepover will be a no-brainer. Furniture pieces like these convertible wall beds can be great conversation topics, too.

Floor to ceiling bookcases

Setting up floor to ceiling bookcases in a tiny apartment creates an illusion of a high ceiling. Aside from that, it is also a great way to add storage. Having the bookcase installed on the walls makes a wider space to put other necessary furniture or just leave a wide area available to go about. Customized bookshelves can also serve as a display area for people who like collecting items to avoid too much clutter in a small living room. An entire wall of bookcases can also appear like a mini library in a room with a limited area to store books. Open shelves can also serve as storage space for cooking utensils and other kitchen gadgets for a tiny kitchen. The ideas for this simple type of furniture could be endless.

Ottoman

Ottomans are great space savers. Downsizing requires every furniture to use up only enough usable space, and it is a plus if it has a different purpose than what it was built or made for.

Or they also can make ottomans as centerpieces which can serve as a table or added seating in a living room.
