We Tested (and Rated) Small-Space Furniture and Decor from Some of Your Favorite Retailers — Here Are the Best for All of Your Needs
As more and more people are moving into apartments, condos, and small homes, the demand for high-quality, space-saving furniture and decor has skyrocketed. Recognizing this trend, we have rigorously tested a wide range of products from some of your favorite retailers to find the best small-space furniture and decor that not only fits your aesthetic but is highly functional as well.
Our team evaluated items based on their design, durability, multifunctionality, and space efficiency. After extensive research and hands-on testing, we are excited to bring you our top recommendations for all of your needs.
Starting with seating solutions, the project winner was the ‘Elma Convert-a-Couch’ from Wayfair. This sleek sofa not only provides comfortable seating but easily transforms into a bed for guests. Its compact size is perfect for small living rooms. Another highly rated option is Ikea’s ‘NORDEN Gateleg table’. It serves as a space-saving workstation or dining area while offering built-in storage for added convenience; perfect for tiny kitchen spaces.
For storage challenges, we loved Target’s ‘Column shelf’. These vertically-oriented shelves provide ample storage without taking up valuable floor space. Also gaining recognition was West Elm’s ‘Mid-century wall desk’, which doubles as a chic workspace and home decor piece.
When it comes to decor, Pottery Barn’s ‘Eagan Multipanel Mirror’ creates the illusion of a larger room thanks to its reflective surface and elegant design. To complement this mirror, Crate & Barrel’s ‘Potted Faux Succulents’ are ideal for adding a touch of greenery without the need for maintenance or extra room.
In bedroom furnishings, The Container Store’s ‘Origami Foldable Steel Closet’ received top marks for its foldaway design that maximizes closet space without permanent installation requirements. Combining it with Urban Outfitters’ ‘Storage Bed’, which features built-in drawers beneath the mattress platform, will provide a comprehensive solution for those tight on space.
We understand that finding the right pieces to furnish a smaller home can be daunting. With our extensive testing and careful consideration, these recommendations will help you make the most out of every square inch of your living area without sacrificing style or comfort.
