Decorating small spaces can be challenging! Furniture pieces need to be just the right size and functional. Allow us to help! Here are some of our favorite small-space furniture pieces that are, as promised, a little funky.
Things to Consider When Buying Furniture
Before we get into our picks, here are some things to keep in mind as you shop for your small space.
Quality
Whether you can test an item yourself or read online reviews, ensure you have an idea of its quality before buying it. Research the materials used, what others have said about the item or company, etc. This can save you a lot of disappointment and the trouble of returning furniture.
Size
Triple-check your room’s dimensions and determine what size furniture is best. We don’t know which is worse: furniture too big or too small for a space!
Your Lifestyle
Do you have pets? Are you an artist where paint splats happen? Make sure your pieces accommodate your lifestyle.
Budget
Budgets are tricky, but our best recommendation is to find the best quality pieces within your budget. Do not go into debt buying furniture. In time, your space and tastes will change. In other words, be practical without breaking the bank.
