Incorpoate Reflective Materials

Opt for white lacquered walls and glossy tiles, as designer Brian Patrick Flynn did here. The high-shine materials are reflective and will generate the same maximizing effect that a mirror will, bouncing light and making for a generally airer space.

Opt for Pocket Doors

Pocket doors with glass windows allow for shared light to flow throughout the space while also creating separation. And even better, they slide right into the wall when not being used, taking up much less space than swinging doors.

Add a Gallery Wall

Though it may sound counterintuitive, covering a wall floor-to-ceiling can make a small space feel larger. In Rudy Saunders's apartment, an assortment of framed works (plus an overscaled watch clock!) draw the eye up, making the 375-square-foot studio feel more expansive.

Be Resourceful

When space is limited and you don't want to shop for new, bulky furniture, use a chair as a side table and install wall sconces to save surface space. A cheerful color, like this pale turquoise hue, is also a good idea to set a happy mood in a tiny room.

Think Vertically

By hanging subway tile vertically—rather than the more common horizontal hang—designer Eneia White makes this modestly sized bathroom feel both taller and more streamlined. A tight palette of black, white, and blush prevent it from feeling cluttered.

Hang a Swing!

Since it doesn't take up any literal floor space, a swinging seat gives the appearance of a much more open room. For proof, look at the daybed Tiffany Brooks hung in this room at the Kips Bay Palm Beach showhouse.

Small round tables aren't just for breakfast nooks. Ditch the giant dining table and give yourself some extra space by opting for a small, round dining table instead, like Emily Henderson did here.

Maximize Shelving

In this Manhattan apartment, Cece Barfield Thompson corralled the owner's books and accessories into one room, where built-in shelves—complete with gallery lights—make the items look deliberate. The best part? This library doubles as a dining room in the small apartment.

Express Yourself Everywhere

Yes, even on the fridge—no, especially—your fridge and other bulky appliances. Since there's limited space for extras and less room to pile in all your favorite items, you'll need to beautify everything. Here, Anthony Dunning turned a regular old refrigerator into a design opportunity by dressing it up in removable wallpaper.

Do Double Duty

Pieces that can serve multiple purposes are key: Find a table that can function as a desk and dining table, get a deep sofa that can double as a guest bed, or buy cubes that serve as a coffee table and bonus seats when guests are over.

Take Advantage of Architectural Quirks

Every single inch counts in a small house, so be sure to take full advantage of architectural quirks—this way, they'll actually become your favorite thing about the space. That radiator by your window? Invest in a pretty radiator cover and customize a cushion so you can use it as a window nook to read and relax in. (And you'll be able to forgo the bulky couch that'll take up half the studio!) Pile on the pillows and add a pendant light for tasks, as Jae Joo did here.

Think About Scale

If your kitchen doesn't have an island and you don't have a living room that's separate from the kitchen, don't give up on making it functional. Opt for a tall wooden table that can provide some extra counter space for cooking and as a two-top dining table. Use this one in a kitchen by Corinne Mathern Studio as your blueprint.

50 Awesome Furniture Designs Inspired by Small Spaces

Furnishing a small space is a challenge but definitely not a reason to get depressed about it. Think of it as an opportunity to explore all the ingenious ways in which you can save space and a chance to familiarize yourself with a bunch of cool furniture designs and concepts that you would otherwise not know about. As it turns out, finding furniture for small spaces is not that difficult these days as a lot of designers focus on innovating the basics specifically so efficiency or studio apartments can be stylish and functional too. Of course, it’s not just the furniture that helps make a small space enjoyable and practical. Things like moving walls or large windows have a positive impact on the big picture as well.

Chairs and benches that make storage easy and fun

Chairs are always great to have around just in case you need them for guests and certain activities. Storing them when they’re not needed, however, is a whole different story. Designs like that of the Comoda Chair shown here make storage easy but not in the most traditional way.

The Hanger Chair is even better when it comes to space efficiency and easy storage. This is a chair that folds flat when you don’t need and which can be stored just like a clothing hanger. You can put it in the closet or hide it behind a cabinet and you would need very little space for that. The chair was designed in 2008 by Philippe Malouin.

Step and Step Mini are two interesting pieces designed by Karl Malmvall. The first one is a step ladder which can be stylishly stored on the wall or in a closet and the second is a step stool which can also be folded and easily stored away using the specially designed hook.

The most common way of saving space when you have several chairs is by stacking them. That doesn’t always look good and sometimes it’s not even a viable option. The Remo chair, however, was specifically designed to be easily stacked in a neat and beautiful fashion. It comes in a variety of different colors and it’s made of plywood, with a metal base.

Benches can be very practical but not when they occupy more space than you’re willing to dedicate to them. Toda is not like that. That’s because this is an extendable bench. It can from one to seven people and in its compact form it looks more like an ottoman.

This little ottoman can provide seating for up to five people, can you believe it? Curious how such a thing is possible? Each side and the top of the ottoman can be removed and then attached to one of bases found inside the main ottoman structure. What a great way to save space…Further more, with the Cubista system you’re always prepared to accommodate more guests.

Tables and desks with secrets to hide

Tables, much like beds, occupy a lot of space and are only used in certain situations, the rest of the time just standing in the way and taking up space that could otherwise be used in other manners. Wally doesn’t do that. This is a drop-leaf table that can be neatly stored on the wall and which reveals a few shelves when down.

This is a combination of two elements, both incredibly practical and space-efficient. One is a pull-down bed which can be conveniently stored on the wall when not in use and the other is an extendible console table. Together they make this tiny space stand out for all the right reasons.

A lot of people fancy the idea of having a pool table in their home and would even get one if it weren’t so big. But while having a pool table doesn’t seem like a very practical idea, especially in a small home, having one that can double as a dining table is quite enticing. The Wood-Line table is exactly that – a two-in-one piece that lets you turn your dining area into a game room by simply sliding off the wooden top.

A home office is one of those things that you wish you had the space for but ends up being nothing more than a desire. Thinking that you need a separate room for your home office is one of the things that prevents this from becoming reality. This Home Office shows that it’s not necessary. It has a drop-down desk, and practical shelf storage, all hidden in a compact wall unit.

How can something as small and as narrow as a console table be transformed into a dining table big enough for ten people? To find the answer to this question you need to have a look at the Minuetto table. The transformation is quick and simple thanks to the ingenious mechanism.

What about a coffee table that can transform into a dining table? That sounds a bit more believable although still quite impressive. The AC Assist table is one of the models which can offer you that. It starts out as a compact coffee table and it can expand to 125.98” in which case it becomes big enough for eight people.

Nesting tables are space-efficient by definition but some take this efficiency to a new level. They do it by being transparent. This is the Peekaboo series, a set of three acrylic nesting tables which manage to be practical without taking up much space, physically and visually.

The inspiration for a round dining table that could expand radially came from the patented design of Robert Jupe from 1835. The concept was refined and reinvented until finally, the Capstan table was created by David Fletcher.

Space-saving beds and sofas

How could a bed not take up a lot of floor space? Well, it’s quite simple actually. Have you ever seen a Murphy bed? A lot of ingenious space-saving furniture designs are based on this idea. Some of them were presented at ICFF by Resource Furniture, including this wall bed system which allows a living room to be turned into a sleeping area in a few seconds.

With the Habitat in Motion series featured at Salone del Mobile in Milan, Clei introduced a movable wall unit which allows a space to serve as a living room, dining area, office or bedroom, its function being determined by configuration chosen by the user based on his needs. In other words, the wall system can hide inside its compact form a double bed, two bunk beds, a desk and a modular bookcase and these elements would stay hidden or would conceal other elements allowing the room to stay neat and spacious.

Modular sofas are not exactly news and yet we come across some designs that are truly surprising and remarkable, like that of the Sofista set. This is a sofa, armchair and chaise longue set. These can be used both individually and combined. When put together they fit like pieces in a puzzle. The two chairs fit under the sofa and their backrests become armrests.

Isn’t this modular set wonderful? We love its simple design, soft curves and vibrant colors. It’s a set offered by Campeggi. It’s composed of a bright orange frame which holds two seats that can be used individually as floor chairs and two pillows which can be armrests, ottomans or footstools. When all the elements are used individually, they can sit seven people in total.

The classical Murphy bed system is quite popular and definitely one of the best space-saving ideas for apartments and small homes in general. After all, storing an entire bed up on a wall is quite amazing. Still, it’s not the only way in which you can store a bed in order to save floor space. Up shows us an alternative. This is a bed which can be stored up on the ceiling when not in use.

Small space furniture can take many different forms. Bunk beds, for instance, are quite space-efficient. The simple fact that you can have two beds that take up the space of one is pretty great but what you could save even more space. That’s possible with the WB Flap Bunk which hides the beds inside a wall unit, much like a Murphy bed.

Transforming furniture like sofa beds or pull-out sleeper chairs is practical for several reasons. The problem with many of them is the lack of comfort. The Be Gulliver sofa/ bed appears to be an exception, managing to blend looks, function and comfort in a great way.

This is simplicity at its best. The Stack beds are a two-in-one set. You can stack them in which case they become a single bed or you can use them as two separate beds. They’re perfect for kids, especially when they have a friend sleeping over or for guest rooms, offering flexibility and saving space.

The design of the Dorme sofa was developed as part of a project focused on compact living spaces and small apartments done by Norwegian designer Silje Nesdal. The sofa is meant to be very versatile and modular, featuring a collection of upholstered cushions which can be used in a variety of configurations, including in combination with a side table. Remove the backrests and you’re left with a comfortable bed.

This is the Dynamic Life sofa designed by Matali Crasset. It’s a modular piece of furniture but not in the traditional sense. The innovative thing about it is the actual design which allows it to be configured in three different manners. You can either use it as a compact sofa, as a pair of chaise longues with armrests or as a deconstructed bed. In each case, the transformation is very simple and intuitive.

Have you ever wished that you wouldn’t have to make any physical effort while converting the sofa into a bed and everything could be done by simply pushing the button on a remote? Now you can actually do that. What a time to be alive! We’re talking about the Wow sofa bed which was designed in 2017 by Giulio Manzoni.

It’s not exactly a sofa, nor is it a bed, at least not in the traditional sense of the terms. However, it can be both and it can also serve as a pair of armchairs and the transformation is simple and doesn’t require much effort or space. It’s called Look-alike (Sosia) and it’s a dynamic and very chic and modern piece perfect for modern spaces with casual-chic decors.

There’s something else that we’d like to share with you now – a set of three beds and a desk, all stacked up for a minimal waste of space. The desk is placed around the middle of the unit, featuring two slide-out beds under it and one on top. The system is highly practical and ideal for shared children’s rooms. {found on gautier}.

Compact storage options and cool hybrid pieces

If you’re the type that enjoys reading, you probably already have a collection of favorite books that needs to be stored somewhere. You probably also know that the collection will most likely grow over time and you’ll reach a point when you’ll need more shelves or a larger bookcase. You can have that without getting new furniture thanks to the expandable bookcase designed by Nendo. It’s called Nest and  can expand and shrink like an accordion.

It’s hard to place this module into a particular category since it can serve as a stool, a coffee table, a bookcase, a magazine holder or a shelving system. The Steel stool is one of the most versatile and multifunctional modules we’ve seen so far. Use it as a standalone piece or combine several together to make complex units.

There are a lot of ingenious and very practical furniture collections which impress in so many ways. As if from nowhere is one of them. It’s a modular system that puts together a set of storage cubbies, a table and four chairs. You can arrange them in various configurations depending on your needs and preferences. The coolest thing is the manner in which the table and chairs are stored. They slide between the shelves, becoming colorful outlines.

Wall shelves don’t really take up much space but that doesn’t mean they can’t be optimized in that sense. The Fläpps shelves are an interesting example. The system consists of two wooden shelves attached to a frame. They can either sit flush with the wall or they can be folded down. In other words, if there’s nothing to keep on the shelf, it disappears to save space and to ensure a more open look.

The Domus chair is perfect for reading nooks and that’s because it has a built-in bookcase. The chair was designed by Andrea Mangano The shelves that fit into the frame of the chair can be removed and used individually or they can be stored inside to save floor space.

This is something called the OpenBook. It’s a comfortable armchair with built-in storage for books and magazines. It has shelves on one side and straps on the other. In addition, the shelving modules also form a nice built-in side table.

You don’t need a home office unless you plan on actually working from home on a regular basis. If, however, you only occasionally need a small desk, you can seamlessly fit that into the living room. Flat lets you disguise the desk as a painting. Fold down the frame and you’ll find a small work surface as well as a shallow storage compartment for certain devices or accessories. It’s the perfect desk for small spaces.

The Indoor Stoop is a multifunctional module with a cute and quirky design. It can be used for seating, for storage or for both. The three drawers provide storage for things like books, clothes, toys and pretty much anything else that fits inside. The drawer fronts are peg boards which is a pretty fun feature.

Whether you need a permanent desk which can serve as a homework area or just the occasional workstation, this combo lets you have it and doesn’t make a fuss about it. The Home-Work Sideboard is a set of two elements: a desk and a chair which together can look like a compact sideboard. It’s a great solution for small bedrooms and a stylish option for modern living spaces.

It’s not just the big furniture pieces that occupy a lot of space in our homes but also the accessories. For example, where do you store your ironing board? How about the mirror? As it turns out, these two elements can be combined into a single piece. Check out this stylish combo designed by Aissa Logerot. You can use it as an ironing board and, when you’re done, flip it and have a look in the mirror. {found on godownsize}.

It’s also possible to disguise a table as a wall-mounted mirror. We’re talking about the Vengio table which is a great space-saver. It’s attached to the wall on one side and has fold-down legs on the other which, when the table is upright, frame a mirror.

Since we’re talking about mirrors with secrets to hide, let’s check out one more design. This is Box, a simple mirror with a frame that lets it double as a cabinet full of shelves. It’s basically a wall-mounted cabinet with a mirrored door. You could put this in the bedroom, the entryway or even the bathroom.

With this coffee table you don’t need armchairs and storage drawers because they actually come with the table. This is in fact a combo of three elements. There’s the low coffee table which looks quite elegant, an armchair with a flip-down backrest which can fit under the table and a small storage module which doubles as a side table and fits under the other hanf of the coffee table. {found on pearlmandaniel}.

Multifunctional furniture is very convenient and practical because you don’t always need it to serve the same purpose. For example, sometimes you need an extra chair but sometimes you could use a table. In such situations, the Table Chair is the perfect piece. It can either be a table or two separate chairs. It was designed by Joel Hesselgren.

Modular Furniture

It was named after the Russian nesting dolls and it’s truly an all-in-one piece. Matroshka is a combination between a desk, a double bed, a couch, a wardrobe, a dining table, four stools, a set of bookshelves and some added storage and it all fits into a compact module that measures only 13 square feet which is 1. 2 square meters.

Retractable chair

One moment it’s flat, the next one it’s shaped like a chair. The Ollie chair takes form with the pull of a string and then retracts the same way. It’s a versatile piece suitable for a variety of different spaces, whether indoor or outdoor.

Some transformations are unexpected and intriguing while others are make more sense. For example, you might expect a sofa to turn into a bed but a painting that can turn into a desk may come as a surprise. Kiss is somewhere in between. It’s an ottoman which doubles as an armchair, a somewhat interesting concept yet not exactly mind-blowing.

Inspiring interior designs

This is something that Elii Architects designed for a Madrid apartment that they renovated. They have the small apartment a new and updated look with multifunctional furniture and clever storage systems. One of the walls has a bunch of built-in features such as a fold-out table, a bench and a bunch of storage compartments.

Spanish studio Elii Architects also designed this small apartment which is also located in Madrid. It’s a space in the attic of an old building and in order to turn it into a comfortable and spacious home, the architects had to look for ways to maximize the limited floor space by introducing custom-made furniture. They gave the apartment a flexible layout with moving walls, cleverly-hidden storage spaces and multifunctional furniture pieces. There’s a table and two benches that come out of the ceiling…how cool is that?

When designer Just Haasnoot decided to remodel his home, he chose studio Mieke Meijer for the job. The studio gave the apartment a new look and included a variety of clever and interesting elements, including a staircase installation that’s composed of two sections. One is attached to the ceiling and upper section of the wall while the other is on the floor. Both are made of steel and wood. The lower section has a built-in desk and storage. It’s a hybrid piece with multiple functions.

Maybe there’s no room for a separate home office or even for a desk in the living room but perhaps you could squeeze a small desk in the kitchen. It could be a simple pull-out worktop cleverly integrated under the counter and you could pair it with a small chair or a bench, like in this open kitchen.

Design of a small hall (75 photos)

The hall is an important room in any home. It is of great functional importance. Here they meet friends, relatives, spend time with family, rest and relax. Designers offer a lot of options for arranging the interior of the hall. But they are not always possible to implement.

Designing a small space is always a challenge for a designer.

The area of ​​the room is an important, and sometimes the determining factor in this matter. The design of a small hall requires a special approach. It is important to make the room multifunctional, the interior - appropriate.

It is necessary that the interior is not just beautiful, but ergonomic, comfortable in absolutely everything.

Small room design

The hall is the only place in the house where you can not only sit, but also lie down, do what you love, and spend time with friends. This must be taken into account when arranging the room. Its interior should be as functional as possible. Furniture that transforms will help with this.

Folding sofa harmoniously "fit" into the overall picture.

If guests come, it can be easily unfolded and everyone can sit comfortably behind it.

The interior of a small hall should be spacious so that every inhabitant can feel comfortable in it. Visually, it can be increased by using light materials in the decoration of ceilings and walls. It is important to ensure the presence of light, it must be in abundance. When there are few windows in the room and there is not enough natural light, floor lamps, a chandelier and so on are installed. Textiles should also be chosen in light colors.

Style: which is better?

Even in a small hall it is necessary to adhere to one style when decorating the interior. It should not only take into account the features of the room, but also please the owners. Therefore, the first and main criteria in determining the best interior design option is personal preferences.

In any small space, the walls are best painted in light, light shades like beige or light grey.

Perfect for a small classic room. It is at all times the most sought after direction. For lovers of modern motifs, styles such as fusion, modern, hi-tech, minimalism are appropriate. The latter is one of the most suitable in this case, since it is based on the use of light colors of walls and furniture, which visually expands the space.

This technique will make the room appear larger, and beautiful modern furniture will come to the fore.

Room decoration is carried out with a minimum number of elements. As a result, the interior turns out to be free, an atmosphere of lightness reigns. Things and objects are hidden in cabinets, a wall, which emphasizes the “emptiness” of the interior.

For the interior of a small living room, a low sofa is best suited.

Fusion style will help make the interior of a small hall bright. This direction is based on the use of saturated colors. Bright wallpapers go well with furniture in soothing shades. Complement the interior with decorative elements: vases, paintings, lamps.

Their number is moderate, otherwise the room will visually become smaller than it really is.

To combine the two directions described above, modern will help - wallpaper in a calm tone, bright decor elements, sufficient lighting. Chandeliers of unusual shapes look good, their creative options. The furniture is practical and comfortable to sit on. Recently, more and more often, when arranging small rooms, original ottomans are used instead of armchairs. They have a place where you can put anything you want.

This allows you to properly organize the storage system.

They should be in moderation, as an excessive amount will make the room cluttered. If unusual furniture is installed, then there should be several decorative elements.

This will make the interior comfortable, fill it with a cozy atmosphere.

This direction is mainly chosen by travel enthusiasts. They have been to different countries, and they have accumulated a large number of souvenirs. Ethnic style should be correctly used in the interior design of a small room.

Well suited colors are nude, blue, as well as fruity: peach, lemon.

Type of wallpaper can be different:

Interesting compositions from patches of wallpaper. They form a panel and make the design of the room interesting. You can combine wallpapers in any way. You can dilute them with other finishing materials. It is appropriate to use wood panels and facade plaster.

The original solution - vertically arranged stripes that have different colors.

What furniture to choose?

A small area is not the most convenient housing option. The owners face many problems during its arrangement. The main one is related to the choice of furniture. It has special requirements. Only functional items should be installed in the hall. And they must be necessary.

It is better to exclude superfluous details from the interior. Otherwise, it will be overloaded.

If there are several zones in the hall, they must be harmoniously combined. This will create a balance between different areas, the interior is comfortable, filled with homeliness. In the recreation area, there is mainly a sofa, and in the dining room - a table and chairs.

Their design should be carried out according to the general style of the room.

As for the material of the furniture, natural colors are suitable for a small room, natural. The use of plastic items is inappropriate. Organically, they "fit" only in the kitchen area, which in this case is located in another room.

Opt for an accent color that will liven up the neutral color scheme of the entire room.

Upper part of the room

The ceiling is at the top, but despite this, it plays an important role in the overall interior of the room. Therefore, its design should not be neglected. If everything is arranged correctly, then it will visually make the room higher. In small rooms it is necessary to choose the color of the floor one tone lighter than the walls. It is inappropriate to use complex multi-level structures. They take precious centimeters, and the ceiling falls down, which does not affect the overall picture in the best way.

For this case, an even non-colored version is suitable.

If the owners like the stretch ceiling, then there are secrets that will help to equip it in a small room. Glossy materials must be used. They have a mirror effect, which allows you to visually raise the line of their border. And this is a great opportunity to make the original lighting in the room. Spot-type light bulbs are installed along the perimeter of the ceiling. There is another additional effect worth noting. It is to improve the soundproofing of the room. It is appropriate to make bright edges on the ceiling. They visually increase the height of the room, as they attract attention.

Glossy ceiling and diffused light are perfectly combined. They visually expand the area of ​​the hall, make it stylish.

Interior curtains

Almost every room has a window, and sometimes several. It should be designed in accordance with the direction in which the room is made. Transparent tulle is perfect for a small room.

Curtains made of dense fabric are best not used. They make the interior heavier.

The combination of blinds and curtains is perfect for the hall-bedroom. It will protect the room from the sun's rays, especially if they are overly disturbing. For a room dominated by dark shades, curtains of bright colors are well suited.

The most suitable colors for the design of a small living room are blue, purple and yellow.

The small hall is often irregularly shaped. Competent arrangement will allow to hide its shortcomings. In this case, a closet, built-in furniture and partitions are appropriate. They will give the room comfort, make it functional. When there is little natural light, other sources are used, floor lamps and lamps are additionally installed.

They will not only decorate the room, but also make it more spacious.

The rectangular shape is characterized by the presence of sides adjacent in size, which differ from the others. In this case, a differential type finish is appropriate. The walls are painted or pasted over with light-colored materials, and the ends of the room must be made bright. As a result, the room is stretched proportionally.

The atmosphere in the small hall is harmonious.

Equipping the hall, the first thing to consider is the size of the room. If the area is small, then the choice of style, color design must be approached responsibly. The main goal is to visually enlarge the space.

Such an interior will be light, in which every inhabitant is comfortable, the atmosphere is cozy.
