Space-saving furniture ideas
Whether you're downsizing or furnishing a small holiday rental, making the most of a compact space requires wise furniture choices. Small doesn't have to mean cramped or cluttered. Here are some of our favourite space-saving furniture ideas to maximise your space.
1. Sofas with built-in storage
A comfortable sofa is an essential furniture item, so why not make it dual-purpose? Storage sofas feature hidden compartments between or beneath the cushions, providing the perfect space to store spare throws, bedding, or books without occupying extra room.
The G Plan Hurst offers a modular version with a curved central smart storage unit.
2. Extendable dining tables
If you don't have a large family or entertain often, an extendable table is a brilliant solution. It's compact for day-to-day living, but offers the option to expand when you want to host friends and family. With round and rectangular options
The Ercol small Romana dining table is perfect for everyday seating of four, with the flexibility to accommodate six when needed.
3. Beds with storage drawers
In smaller bedrooms, making the most of every inch is essential, so using your bed for
storage is the perfect scenario. In smaller bedrooms, storage is often at a premium. Divan beds with built-in drawers are ideal for storing seasonal clothing, shoes, or spare bedding without taking up additional space. For even more space, an ottoman bed with a mattress that lifts to reveal a roomy compartment underneath is a clever solution.
The Relyon Dreamworld divan bed meets all your storage needs in the bedroom. It offers the option of two handy drawers or a lift-up ottoman version.
4. Nesting tables
Nesting tables provide a versatile solution for compact homes. They provide extra surface area when needed, and stack neatly away when not in use.
The ercol Pebble nest of tables comprises three individual tables with the smaller tables slotting neatly underneath the larger ones, perfect for saving space.
5. Multi-functional furniture
Look for pieces that serve multiple purposes, such as a sofa bed for overnight guests, a sideboard that also functions as a media unit, or a footstool with hidden storage.
Investing in versatile, well-designed furniture will make it easier to enjoy your space clutter-free.
