10 Genius Space-Saving Furniture Pieces Perfect For Small HDBs And Condos
Maximise your space with these creative furniture pieces
With homes in Singapore getting smaller, homeowners are turning to smart and versatile solutions for a myriad small space woes. From transformable furniture to clever multipurpose pieces, there are many ways to beat the system and live big even in a small home.
Here are 10 stylish and practical furnishing ideas that will maximise space and give your home a wow factor:
These versatile units, such as the Zerno Nesting Coffee Table Set from Fortytwo, can be used separately when you need more table space, or nested together to take up less space.
Make use of vertical space and free up your precious floor with a table that you can mount on the wall, and use when needed? This one from XZQT comes fitted with open storage compartments to keep your items organised and handy, even when the table is folded down.
What we like about the +39 Opla Folding system by Ewins is that it looks just like an ordinary shelf when you are not using it. Seamless and space-saving!
The chic Slumbersofa Classic by Spaceman combines a bed and a sofa, and is great for shoebox apartments. It is available as a wall mounted or freestanding unit, too.
Utilising your doors for extra storage is an excellent idea. This Jottergoods Pencil Box-n Cabinet saves you the hassle of DIY, and since it is not built-in, you can always shift it to different rooms or homes easily.
This stylish and compact sofa bed, in the form of Hipvan's Kara, transforms from a sofa to a double bed in seconds, making it ideal for petite homes. It's especially useful for when you have guests staying over. We love that it also comes with an adjustable armrest for more flexibility.
Not only do televisions take up space, they usually need a console or shelving system to support it, too. Consider freeing your floor space by purchasing a projector which you can attach to your ceiling instead. Pictured is Optoma's UHZ50, which offers full 4k resolution at an increased brightness of 3,000 lumens, making it suitable for both bright and dark room viewing.
Dining chairs can take up valuable space, so why not invest in stackable versions like these Airy Chairs from Jiji?
Have a spare room that won’t always be occupied, but still want it to be functional for your future guest’s comfort? This desk with storage space and a stowaway bed from Addin allows you to save space and money.
The Kyoto platform storage bed from Modern Space Living offers tons of extra space for you to stow away your items. The compartments underneath the mattress are particularly great for putting away things that you don't often use like luggage and winter clothing.
