When you have one small room to do it all, efficient storage and furniture with double functions are your best friends. And remember, no matter how pressed you are for space, compact can still be stylish.
Storage tailored to you
A good tip for a one-room apartment is to choose a storage system that is easy to adapt to small tricky spaces. Build high and low, even above the bed, to get the stow-away space you need.
Say it with cushions
When you’ve turned your bed into a daybed – call it a sofa if you want – throw a few cushions on top to complete the transformation. Your own combination of colours, patterns, dots and stripes can be quite a stylish statement.
Side tables set you up for more
In a small space, it’s convenient to have a few small tables for easy multi-use. Coffee table, board game table or breakfast-in-bed table? You can even put them together for a picnic-on-the-rug-with-friends combination.
Mirror for extra dimensions
A big mirror makes the room seem larger – not only by adding a feeling of spaciousness, but also how it reflects light. With the right frame it can also be a powerful addition to the overall styling of the room.
The bed-sofa-bed-sofa-bed
An extendable daybed that easily converts into a bed for one – or even two – is the ultimate solution for small-space living. When morning comes, hide the bedding in the drawers underneath. Voilà, it’s now your sofa – again.
Eat, work and play
An all-purpose table to centre daily life around can still be elegant to match the mood of the room. Foldable drop-leaves and a handy drawer make it extra well-suited for small-space living.
Compact is no reason to compromise
Some things should simply be allowed the space they need – like an armchair that lets you enjoy comfortable moments on your own or offer a guest the best seat. And if you’re going to have an armchair, it might as well be a stylish one.
