Maximising your space in a small apartment

Maximising your space within a small apartment has its challenges, however with some forward thinking you can absolutely achieve a layout in that is as functional as it is stylish.

From storage through to styling, we’ll help you in creating an enhanced space that feels like home.

Investing in flat pack products is a great pathway to attaining the furniture you want without the hassle and difficulty of transporting it into your home, especially if you live in an apartment building. The struggle of fitting large furniture pieces through your door is all too real, however with a flat pack product you can assemble and diss-assemble your furniture in and out of your space, making transporting your goods more efficient. We offer all Groove Furniture as flat pack for ultimate convenience.

Investing in dual purpose pieces is an essential hack for making your space serve multiple purposes even with its limited space and capacity. Dual purpose pieces can range from couches with various seating arrangements to shelving units with an added working desk option. Our Arlington Round Dining Table in White is the perfect dual purpose piece for small apartment living, creating a communal dining area without taking up too much space while also functioning as a desk when working from home.

Maximising vertical space is a great way to create more storage and living space in a small apartment. We recommend using tall items such as tall bookshelves, floating shelves and hanging organisers to take advantage of the wall space. Most importantly we recommend combining vertical items with generous storage capabilities to make your home feel more spacious and clutter-free. Our Arlington Storage Cabinet is a perfect example of a functional vertical storage.

Creating designated areas for different activities can help you maximise your space and keep your apartment organized. For example, use a folding screen to create a separate sleeping area or a bookshelf to create a home office. Creating different zones in your apartment will make your home feel a lot larger and help you stay organised, giving each area a specific purpose.

Selecting a light colour palette for your space is an important consideration, as it helps to give the illusion that the room is larger and brighter. Using light colours on walls, floors, and furniture help reflect light, making your apartment more inviting. You could implement this by using light-coloured curtains, bedding, and rugs to brighten up your space.

Remember to have fun and experiment with different styles in your space as well. Utilise what you already have so you can find your perfect level of cosy and stylish, creating a space you look forward to coming home to each day.
