One of the hardest things about living in a small apartment is finding space for all of your furniture and home decor. Most likely, your living room doubles as your dining room and it’s probably where you eat, work, work out, watch TV, and entertain your guests. To get the most out of your space, you can use furniture pieces in multiple ways. Here are some tips for how to maximize your space by using furniture as decorative pieces.
Use Your Extra Seating
When entertaining, you need lots of chairs and benches for people to sit, and you can use these as accent tables to display books or candles or as benches in an entry way to store your bags or take off your shoes.
Make a Bar on a Bookcase
Bars take up lots of space, that you probably don’t have. Instead, use your bookshelf or media center to hold and display all of your alcohol. Place the bottles and accessories in a cute decorative tray.
Incorporate the Living Room Decor to the Dining Table
There’s nothing worse than having a cramped living room and dining room, so to connect these rooms, decorate your dining table like your living room with candles, coffee table books, and fruit baskets.
Display Your TV on a Sideboard
Media consoles are bulky and you really don’t need such a big space to put your TV. Sideboards can be used as media consoles and the built-in storage unit can hold your cutlery, linens, plates, and glasses.
