Small apartment decorating is always a challenge. Inspiring solutions can be found in many areas: from storage to color composition and from decorating to using modern and versatile furniture with multiple use. Searching for small apartment solutions can take up a lot of time, but be prepared to stumble upon so many ideas that it will be hard to choose the right one for your home.

Start with making a list of the things you need, like storage facilities and take into account that, by using colors, light and mirrors, you can create the illusion of a bigger space. A small apartment can be just as relaxing and comfortable as an apartment with a large floor plan if you use functional furniture and unconventional space delimitations.

A personalized small apartment solution can come from the decision of using custom made furniture that will help your small apartment reach its full potential. Custom furniture can be an effective solution for maximising small spaces in apartments; creating a “wow-factor” with a statement piece; custom designer homes with specific décor requirements.

Try to use every available space and think out of the box. Use sliding doors and mirrors to hide storage space. In the bedroom, use the underside part of your bed for keeping linens or even consider a bunk bed and use the lower part as office space. There are many ideas that can help you decorate a small apartment and a good interior designer can customize the space in a way that you and your family can connect to, so don’t hesitate to ask for help.

In case you own a small apartment and you’re trying to make the most of the available space then you should definitely check this particular design. Created by Legato Studio, this special dinner table can be neatly folded and transformed into a usable bench with less effort than would be needed to fold a futon flat thus saving plenty of space in your kitchen. This modular design also offers an intermediate position, an ergonomic table, which will fit nicely with your some of your work-at-home habits. Of course the Legato Studio 3-in-1 table can be used outdoors too both as a picnic table and as a bench, if that’s something you’d want to explore.

The table/bench is made from plyboo (100% renewable laminated bamboo) and finished with a water-based lacquer. Designed to fill a void in urban furniture it’s perfect for city dwellers, and depending on your needs, it can provide either seating and space for three people or seating and surface room for up to six!

In the closed position, the stainless steel legs fit together as arm rests and form an angular bell shape, while also creating space for storage below. As the table expands into the two other stages, the legs open symmetrically drawing modern and clean lines from the top of the table to the bottom of each bench. When designing this piece the company paid close attention to both safety and easy of operation for the end user. All this table needs to be fully functional is a flat surface that can support its weight, and it operates on even the most delicate of flooring.

Legato sees its future as continuing on this theme – creating transformative pieces for urban dwellers that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are relevant, functional, and unique.
