When you're moving into a small apartment, it's easy to think that you need to give up all the trendy design pieces in your collection.
No one wants to have a super small bathroom or a kitchen that can barely fit two people, right? There are plenty of modern furniture pieces that make your small place look large. It will serve as your guide or directly buy it.
Storage Bed with Wood Finish
The storage bed is a great space-saver. It is perfect for studio apartments. Instead of buying an entirely new bedroom set, consider adding a storage bed to your room to make the most of the space you have available.

Sleek Coffee Table
Placing a coffee table with an oval shape in front of your couch won't take up too much room in your living space (or dining room). When guests are coming, you can push it off to one side.
Storage Sofa
Purchase two smaller ones instead of one large sofa. It fits better in a smaller room and looks more appealing than one large piece of furniture. You can also use it to store blankets, pillows or other items that you want to keep out of sight but still close by when needed. Then, invest in some nice accent chairs or ottomans to give you extra seating when you need it.

Built-in Bookshelves
There are many ways to incorporate bookshelves into your living space without taking up valuable floor space. Build the shelves or hang them on the wall. Do it in an area that gets good lighting so you can display your books or objects without worrying about being damaged by dust or moisture.
It creates a spacious feel without giving up the convenience and functionality of having bookshelves nearby.
Bright Painting instead of Wood Flooring
You've heard the saying: "Paint is cheap, floors are expensive." Nowhere is this more true than in a small space apartment.
The average wood floor can cost $5 to $6 per square foot to install. On the other hand, the paint costs less than $2 per square foot — and you don't have to wait for it to dry.
If you go with paint, consider choosing a dark colour that matches other colours in the room, like black or red. Light colours will reflect light from the windows and make a room appear larger. Darker colours will absorb light, making the room look smaller but comfortable and cosy. Also, it works well in bedrooms and home offices, where you'll have privacy from the rest of your household. Browse the Internet for more wall paint ideas for a guide.
