12 things I love for my tiny apartment living

12 things I love for my tiny apartment living 3333

Maybe you’ve just moved out of your parents’ house, or you’re moving into a new place with new roommates or perhaps you’ve decided to take the leap with your partner and move in together. Whatever the case, moving can be filled with stress but also filled with excitement. It’s a time to recreate your style and shop for pieces that represent you.

However, with space at an all-time premium in big cities today, prices seem to be ever-increasing while space seems to be shrinking. If you’re paying an arm and a leg for a tiny apartment, you at least want to feel comfortable and not cluttered. I put together a list of some of my favorite space-saving pieces for tiny apartments. From a lamp with shelves to hangers to organize pants, these are purchases that will make your tiny apartment feel a little less tiny.

Woodlyn Folding Desk Shelf

Urban Outfitters

Living in a small apartment usually means you don’t have an entire separate room designated for an office. But with this folding desk you can get some computer work done without having to work from bed or hide away in a noisy coffee shop. It’s a great way to divide a bedroom between lounge space and work space.

Shelves are always a great way to maximize space and make a room feel bigger, but sometimes shelves can be too bulky for a small space. These rectangular shelves are a great size and with the cubic, modern look can give depth to a small space.

Rodemack Kitchen Island

Wayfair

Okay, you can deal with a small apartment, but you refuse to skimp on a kitchen. In small apartments, kitchens are often pushed in one corner of the room with minimal counter space or storage. That’s where a kitchen island can be an affordable solution and can give you more essential counter space in your tiny kitchen.
