Renters, you’ll love these compact homeware designs which maximise on the space you do have.
Do you live in a flat that’s not big enough to hula hoop in? There’s no shame in it, thanks to the rising population and renting crisis, most of us do.
It’s part of the reason we’ve seen a huge spike in interest around keeping things tidy. From Marie Kondo’s hit Netflix show to a rise in sales of storage solutions, and even mindfulness techniques that relate to the ‘tidy house tidy mind’ mantra – we’re all trying to make do with the space we’ve got.
But if you’ve been hunting for furniture and home accessories to help you organise your home (you might have even seen our storage suggestions you can buy on the high street), you’re going to love our edit of furniture specifically designed for tiny flats.

Layabout chair squidger
Furniture for small spaces: Layabout Squidger chair Loaf’s Squidger range is designed to ‘squidge’ into smaller spaces, that can’t quite fit a typically sized chair or sofa.
The frameless chair and sofa are filled with microfibre chips, perfect for tight spots as they don’t have the usual structured wooden interior.
Pettit ladder desk
Furniture for small spaces: Petit ladder desk Considering so many of us are working from home at the moment, this ladder desk comes particularly in handy if you a small home office space.
Not only does it lean up against the wall, but it’s both desk and bookshelf, which means maximum storage opportunities. There’s even a magnetic board for displaying your to-do list, (which is one of our biggest WFH tips for staying motivated).
Wallace lamp and table
Furniture for small spaces: Wallace lamp and table Is it a lamp? Is it a table? It’s both! Habitat have a whole section on small space living, but this light is especially nifty.
Floating bedside table
Furniture for small spaces: Floating bedside table This floating bedside table works perfectly for those whose bedroom is the size of, well, the bed.
Note the space underneath for keeping books, your phone and other trinkets.

Plywood hallway stand
Furniture for small spaces: Plywood hallway stand We’re tempted to steal the styling of this furniture piece straight from Urbansize, as the rattan details and earthy-toned print look so on-trend.
Not only is this piece slimmer than standard so that it will fit into smaller hallways, but the legs lean inwards to make for more storage opportunities underneath.
The brand has also thought about somewhere to keep your bits and bobs, and have included two understated drawers.
Rattan basket
Furniture for small spaces: Rattan Basket The circular shape of this rattan basket makes it easy to throw whatever bits and bobs you have lying about, somewhere a bit tidier.
Bundle in blankets, throws or towels, for an on-trend storage solution that can be moved around your home.
Floating dressing table
Furniture for small spaces: Floating dressing table A dressing table can feel like a luxury in a small flat, but it can make such a difference to have somewhere to get ready in the morning.
This clean-cut, floating design means you don’t need as much floor space and as it’s fitted directly on to the wall, you aren’t losing precious inches behind it, either.
Plus, we love the look of this chic mirror placed above it.
