Furniture with Storage
- Rosanna Ceravolo Media Console; $1,299
A small living space often means few closets and limited storage space. When possible, purchase furniture with concealed storage (rather than open storage like shelves).
Statement Furnishings
- Spenser Stacking Chairs; shown in copper, also available in white and brass; from $128
In a small space, choose furniture that can double as art. (Minimizing the amount of wall art will help a space feel larger.)
Shelf Help
In a small kitchen, you often need to store pantry items out in the open. Wrangle packaged items together in sleek modern baskets.
Pretty Kitchen Tools
- Nesting Bowl Set, $90
Buy kitchenware that serves as a beautiful accessory when not in use (since it'll likely be stored in plain sight). Bonus tip: Whenever possible buy products that "nest" (bowls, chairs, tables).
Beautiful Baskets
You can never have enough storage baskets. Use ones with handles to store extra blankets couch-side in the living room, or to serve as toy bins in a kids' room.
Hanging Planters
When square footage is limited, look up! Position small hanging plant containers at eye-level or higher and close to natural light.
Hooks, Hooks, Hooks
- Modway Coat Rack, $43
In lieu of a bulky coat tree, choose a design-minded coat rack that mounts to the wall. Hang coats, handbags, hats, scarves. Position several racks side-by-side as needed.
Mobile Storage
- Foundry Cart, $1,999
Have storage where you need it by purchasing furnishings—a cart, a bookcase, a file cabinet—on casters.
Multipurpose Furniture
Whenever possible, choose furnishings that serve more than one purpose. Instead of negative space under the footboard, this bed frame features a bookcase for storage.
Transparent Containers
- Storage Containers, from $10
For all the household goods that do fit in the closet or garage, use clear bins for storage so it's easy to identify what's what.
