Condominiums are ideal first homes for many individuals. While you may have less space in a condo than you would in a house, there are still plenty of ways to maximize your space and ensure your living environment has everything you need. From strategically designed condo furniture to nontraditional sleeping arrangements, you can get creative with ways to spread out and still stay comfortable. If you’ve recently purchased or signed a lease on a condo, explore some helpful tips for furnishing it while getting the most out of your space, below.

3 Ways to Maximize Your Area in a Small Condo

1. Select Smaller Tables

Dining room tables often seat six to eight people, but in small spaces, there’s no reason to take up space with such an overbearing piece of furniture. Instead, shop for condo furniture specifically designed to accommodate fewer people. A small round or square table with four chairs still affords plenty of space for most couples and families.

2. Optimize Sleeping Solutions

Beds take up a great deal of space, but there are plenty of condo-friendly sleep options you can consider. You can delight your children and save space with a set of bunk beds, or welcome guests to stay over with a pull-out couch. Day beds are also multi-functional, in that they can be used as both daytime seating and sleeping.

3. Choose Furniture With Storage Options

Whenever possible, seek out condo furniture with built-in storage. TV stands with drawers and doors provide ideal spots for putting away toys, books, and any accessories you’d like to keep out of sight. Ottomans don’t just add cozy appeal to living room couches; some also offer extra storage for blankets and pillows. Even some kitchen islands can double as tables and feature plenty of space for utensils and dishes.
