When decorating a fashionable home, do not disregard its functional aspects. Striking good looks may appeal to our senses, but may not give us comfort in the long term. The owners of small homes often find themselves in a real fix over the selection of furniture. You hear these questions often. “My bedroom size is less than 10 square metres – what kind of bed should I buy?” 

Or, “I have a tiny dining space in the corner of my small kitchen. How do I choose the right dining set for this room?” More than a few tear their hair out over these questions, but you need not be one of them, not any longer! Today’s post will solve many of your questions as we  share the ten essential pieces of furniture needed in every small home…

A space saving and multifunctional table

This is one item needed for every home – small or big. A multifunctional table can be used for your office work as well as for your kid’s study. 

Choose one that has sufficient storage space without being bulky. You will be able to use its shelves to keep your documents and stationery neatly organised. Those with a  pull down table  can be used for a quick breakfast as well.

See-through shelves

Due to its versatile nature, modular furniture is greatly coveted in modern homes. The see through versions not only resolve some of your storage concerns, but also makes your rooms look more expansive. 

They seem to take up less space than traditional shelving systems which, though an illusion, is a very welcome addition for small homes.

Once again, this is meant to take care of your storage concerns. It is as comfortable as your regular bed and does not take up much more additional space in your tiny bedroom. 

You can safely store away all your bed furnishings, extra cushions, drapery and so on. Make sure to keep the drawers as organised as the rest of the room.

Extendable dining table

Is your dining room down in the dumps? Is lack of space is becoming a constant of irritation in this area of your home? Do you fear inviting anyone just because your dining space looks so cluttered and awful? Why not consider bringing home an extendable dining table!

You can expand it according to your requirements. You will no longer need to worry about the surprise visits of your close friends – your dining room is now going to be guest ready round the clock.

Mirrored furniture

Furniture with mirrored surface are not solely valued for their glitzy façade – they're a worthy addition for every tiny dwelling. 

Their reflective surfaces increase the brightness of the room and also create an illusion of space. Mirrored wardrobes, nightstands and dressers are highly favoured for their chic look, too.

A lightweight shoe rack

A pretty hallway also needs a modern shoe rack to neatly stack away the shoes. Invest in a lightweight shoe rack that boasts an understated design and is high on functionality. 

Place it close to the main doorway or tuck it under the staircase. Alternatively, you can also build a more sophisticated shelving system in the understair space.

A stylish sofa bed

Can you imagine a living room without a stylish couch? Perhaps not! 

However, make sure that your couch is not only good enough to sit down and chat for the entire evening, but also to rest on the entire night. In other words, instead of simply opting for a fashionable couch buy a stylish sofa that can be converted into a bed at night.

Matching dining chairs

Just a few minutes back we were discussing the advantages of an extendable dining table. You also need stylish dining chairs for your small dining space. 

Avoid  bulky pieces and choose slim and trendy chairs that seem to be just perfect for your small space.

Bathroom shelves

Small bathrooms become a constant source of irritation for many. Do not let this happen to you. Build or buy a shelving system that maximises the potential of a small bathroom. 

It should be clear, lightweight and preferably mounted on the wall. This will help you to empty some amount of floor space without compounding your storage problem.

Foldaway chairs

Keep a few foldaway chairs around the house. You can drag them onto your balcony whenever you wish to enjoy the views of the surrounding or pull them up to the dining table when unexpected guests come to visit. With these pieces in your small abode, you will surely be able to build an elegant interior without any of the unsightly clutter you so desperately wanted to get rid off.

Wondering what kind of furniture would suit your kitchen? Follow our smart guide to pick the right kind of pieces and build an efficient kitchen.
