Explore Clever Space-Saving Furniture Ideas For Small Living Areas

The space in apartments is taken up by the furniture that leads to restriction of movement. In light of the same, we spoke to Mr Vijai Subramaniam, Founder and Chairman, Royaloak Furniture. Read on to learn the ways you can incorporate smart furniture into your home to save space.

Less Is More

The concept of minimalism says, less is more and it is also applied while picking the furniture. One of the common mistakes that people make is picking furniture that’s just too big for the room. It's tempting to go big, but in a small room, less is often more. Consider furniture that pulls double duty. Choose furniture pieces that offer storage or can serve different functions to save space. For instance, storage ottomans, sitting shoe racks, sofas with built-in storage or sofa - cum beds.

Consider Aesthetics

When furnishing a compact area, it's important not to compromise on aesthetics. Choose furniture and decor that not only serve a purpose but also add to the overall charm of the room. For instance, adding a side table can double as both a functional storage space and a decorative accent, allowing you to personalise the room with cherished items.

Utilise Vertical Space

We often fail to utilise the vertical space. However, it can be a great way to save floor space. For instance, you can add tall furniture elements like shelves or bookcases that draw the eye upward, creating the illusion of a taller room.

Go For Light Coloured Furniture

Opting for light-coloured furnishings is key to creating an open and airy feel. Shades like white, soft neutrals, and pastels help reflect light, giving the impression of a more spacious environment. Bulky and heavy designs should be avoided, as they tend to make the room (ways to make room look bigger) feel cramped.
