1. Use hidden capabilities
With the arrangement of small areas of premises, an important role is played by the ability to rationally use each centimeter and use the so-called dead zones. For example, you can fill the niches around the doorways by the shelves for books or place the rack in the empty space.

3. Choose practical furniture items
The most practical items that can be positioned so that they do not occupy a lot of space: fold into each other or put in a stack. Thus, the tables and chairs, made on the principle of matryors, will allow additional seats in the case of the arrival of guests.

4. Stop your choice on transformers
Foldable transformer things are ideal for use in limited areas. The main advantage is that in the assembled state, such furniture items are very compact, but if necessary, they are able to carry out their main functions.

6. Multifunctional furniture will help save space
From the point of view of space saving, the best furniture is that can perform several functions at once, such as puffs, coffee tables, benches, floor mirrors, inside which can be stored different little things. The smaller the furniture in the small apartment you use, the better. Choose multifunction items with hidden storage tanks.
