I Just Moved Into a Tiny Studio—22 Pieces of Furniture That Are Ideal for Maximizing Space

Whether you’re in NYC, L.A., or elsewhere, furnishing smaller spaces can be tough. I’m living alone for the first time, and I recently moved into a 430-square-foot studio apartment. While I’m excited to start my solo-living journey, finding space-saving pieces that help me make the best use of my space has been difficult. As a shopping editor, I’m always dedicated to hunting down the best products, so I took this challenge on enthusiastically. After hours of scouring the internet, I found a selection of furniture pieces that’ll be an excellent addition to any new small space.
I had to share my exact finds with you so you can shop small-space furniture too. From unique dining tables and seating to bed frames with creative storage solutions, there’s a fun range of items that are sure to improve any small space. Keep scrolling to uncover my editor-approved furniture solutions for studios and small spaces.
