Furniture For Small Spaces: Our Top Ideas For Furniture Space Savers

Posted on - 19th January 2023

It would be anyone’s dream to own a house the same size as Buckingham Palace. Having an unlimited number of rooms and free space for whatever you desire. In reality, most homeowners don't have that luxury. If you’re familiar with the limitations of living in a small flat or house, it can be difficult to fit all the furniture you need or desire into a matchbox-sized room. With small space living, you have to be smart about what you buy and creative about where you place it.

At Toons, we understand this can be frustrating so we gathered our top furniture pieces for small spaces in order to help you save valuable space around your home.

1) An Extendable Dining Table

A sizable and high-quality dining table is one of the biggest and most important features in your dining room or kitchen. For smaller spaces, we recommend round tables rather than rectangular ones as they have no sharp or jutted corners and provide better use of space.

Our Hatton Extending Round Table is not only round but also extendable. Ideal for gathering all the family together at one table. For when you don't need the extending feature, it's easy to fold in the table to save up on space. It is also available in a range of finishes such as light walnut, oak or grey.

2) A Sofa That Doubles As A Bed

Imagine you don’t have a spacious room in your home but you’re expecting a guest and you want them to feel comfortable, but your sofa isn’t that comfortable to sleep on. A sofa bed is the perfect solution. It doubles as both a living room sofa and transforms into a comfy bed in seconds for late minute accommodating.

Our plush clic-clac Sundi sofa bed can be set in three different positions: sofa, bed, or raised head. It sits under four polished chrome legs and it is available in two colours: grey or blue.

3) More Than A Bunk Bed

When it comes to a children's bedroom, you can never have enough storage. To save space in a children’s bedroom, a bunk bed can be the perfect addition. Our Kimbo Cabin Bed is more than a bunk bed. It comes with a wooden slatted base with extra storage for books and toys and a desk for both play and schoolwork. It comes in pink and white or blue and white. Not only will you enjoy saving space, your little one will enjoy this new addition too!

4) A Space-Saving Bed

A bed takes up the most space in your bedroom, but what if it could also provide storage? Our Walkworth Ottoman Bed is designed with a Kaydian unique lift-up system. The floating floor storage area features a strong 4 piece MDF floor supported by a strong metal cross rail. This is the perfect bed for a small bedroom to hide and store away winter clothes or extra bedding.

5) Mirrored Wardrobes With Sliding Doors

Staying on the subject of small bedrooms, you might want to consider your choice of wardrobe. Your current wardrobe could be taking up too much valuable space. A wardrobe featuring a full length mirror in the front is super functional like our Truro Large 3 Door Wardrobe.

Furthermore, a wardrobe with opening doors will require space to fully open. Whereas, a wardrobe with sliding doors is most suitable if you’re running short on space. Our Alegro Wardrobe Range includes sliding door wardrobes in a choice of wood styles in white or bright highlights with centred mirrors. The addition of mirrors can also make your bedroom appear brighter and bigger.

6) Narrow And Tall Drawers

The frustration of having a small bedroom can include not having enough space for extra storage such as fitting in a chest of drawers. Go for narrow and tall dressers instead of big and wide dressers. A perfect example is our Brighton 5 Drawer Narrow Chest of Drawers. This piece will fit better into tight spaces while still offering enough storage for your bits and bots.

7) A Box To Store Bulky Items

An ottoman box or a blanket box is a versatile piece and it has the potential to be a life saver. If you live in a small house, it can be a task to store large or bulky items without them taking up even more space. Storing them in an ottoman box will keep them out of sight, out of mind while still allowing you to have easy access to grab them.

An ottoman box can be placed in your living room to store board games or blankets. Furthermore, it can double as a coffee table. A blanket box such as our Swam Blanket box, can be placed at the end of a bed to store shoes.
