A beautifully adorned home with space for all of your favorite furniture is probably near the top of your wishlist, but space and affordability can be hard to find together. Small apartments or homes can provide great charm, but decorating without feeling cluttered can be a challenge. To help you better design a small living space, the experts from Bayles Leather House offer three tips for taking advantage of every square foot.

3 Ways to Maximize Your Limited Space for Your Favorite Furniture

1. Give Pieces Multiple Uses

If your home or apartment is tight for space, be resourceful with the furniture you buy and make them available for more than one intended use. A TV console can become an excellent buffet during a party, dining tables make great work stations, and your bookshelf can be a great bar. Get creative and use your furniture and space to its fullest potential.

2. Break the Rules

Many people think of a standard living room as having a couch, loveseat, and armchair, but there’s no law saying those are the pieces you must have. A small sectional sofa can eliminate the need for multiple pieces of furniture and save space. You could even opt for four chairs if you like how they look in your space. Buy what you want and make it work for your home. Clever items like nesting chairs under your coffee table or ottomans that double as seating can also save you a ton of space.

3. Sleep Well

Bedrooms can provide unique challenges in small spaces. Everyone wants a big cozy bed, but it’s easy to take up the entire room with it. Consider a trundle bed or even a fold-down Murphy bed for extra-small spaces. You won’t have to build the rest of the room around a big mattress, allowing you to design the space how you really want it.
