Furnishing a small apartment is like finding the right piece to solve a puzzle. I often see homeowners struggling to pick the best furniture for their small spaces without compromising style. 

One advice I usually give is to go for small tables and benches that double as storage and narrow cabinets for compact spaces. Vertical wall organizers are also a game changer as they ensure tidy aesthetics. I often buy pieces that help me save floor space while providing optimal utility. 

Below, I have mentioned some of my top stylish, affordable, and innovative furniture and décor finds that you may find helpful in furnishing your tiny space.

Multifunctional Furniture That Doubles Your Space

Multifunctional furniture is my go-to design any day. It's like killing two birds with one stone.

Look at something like a tufted storage bench. I got one to complement my bed space, and it's the best decision ever. I use it to store extra throws, blankets, and a seating area when dressing. Plus, it's easy to clean off dust and accidental spillage.

Sometimes, a display cabinet comes in handy to ensure a tidy space. I have a white wooden one with three shelves to organize my kid's toys and books. It's steady enough to withstand their chaos while allowing them to showcase their favorite items. 

Whether you enjoy a modern touch or gravitate towards a farmhouse vibe, there's a storage cabinet to match your taste. If you like natural tones like me, then consider a cabinet with rope and wood finish. It has open shelves to display cute decor items and closed cabinets for privacy. I've decorated mine with plants to add some life to my space. 

Small Tables That Fit Anywhere

Small tables help you save space for other essential pieces of furniture. My favorites are nesting and folding tables that I can tuck away when they are not in use. I've been enjoying the fluted table that I got recently for my reading corner. It's light to move around but sturdy enough to hold my reading lamp and stack of books. 

When choosing a center table, select one with a storage underneath. A corner table or a rounded one like the Aira tambour design is perfect. The Aria table has a sliding door with hidden compartments that allow me to hide stuff out of sight.

Narrow Storage Pieces for Tiny Apartments

I have learned the importance of smart storage since I started living in my small space. This is why I often seize any opportunity to get the most practical storage solution. 

The Azhar chest of drawers is one of my favorite pieces. It's slim enough to fit in my compact bedroom. I love its sleek matte black and rattan finish, which complements my decor without taking away from the space. 

A sleek black nightstand works wonders to keep my bedside tidy. It's the perfect size to store a few essentials and hold my diary, phone, and lamp. Occasionally, I use it as an end table when I need to switch up things for a new look. 

Of course, my space would not be complete without a minimalistic wine cabinet. I prefer one with open shelves as it allows me to display some of my unique barware. Consider a cabinet that matches your style and storage needs. 

Wall Decor That Saves Floor Space

An alternative approach I use to free up floor space is installing wall decor and organizers. Decorative mirrors are my go-to option for creating the illusion of an airy, spacious room. I love sleek designs with metal frames as they add a timeless charm to my space. 

If you love it simple, a mirror with a black metal finish can enhance your space without diverting attention. Use small stackable wall mirrors to create a gallery-like effect on your walls for a classy charm. I've fallen in love with the gold metal wall mirror set, which I can switch up whenever I feel like getting creative.

No matter your style, you can never go wrong with a little wall organizer. Something as simple as a wall-mounted coat rack can make a big difference in your space. I have one in my hallway where I hang my handbag and coat on days I'm too exhausted to put everything where it belongs. 

Compact Kids' Furniture for Family Living

Choosing kid-friendly furniture is one of the best decisions you can make when living with kids in a small space. I always make it about finding pieces that my kids enjoy using while I maintain the aesthetics of my home.

Playtimes are some of the treasured moments in my home. So I got my little ones a play table with a bookcase and a set of comfortable chairs. My kids have loved it since day one as it allows them to do anything, whether reading, coloring or snacking. Plus, I can easily tuck away the chairs under the table when not in use to free floor space.

Improving playtime requires being practical with your furniture. Get a table with storage and wide enough to accommodate handy activities. I can't get enough of the art activity table, which my kids got as a birthday gift. This table has enough storage for art supplies and sideway bookcases to organize their study materials. It's even fascinating that the chairs have baskets underneath for extra storage. I'd recommend it if you want to keep the playroom tidy without limiting your kids' exploration.

Another essential must-have kid's furniture is toy storage. I recently got a cabinet that doubles as a backboard to level up reading time. The open shelves make it easier for my kids to grab toys and books. The extra blackboard on the top ensures they get creative without fighting over space.
