Whether you live in a small apartment [1], a crammed condo, or any place that doesn't offer you the right amount of space for your living needs, we get it. Somehow, there never seems to be enough room for your everyday living basics. Under-the-bed storage compartments and creative pantry space savers [2] come to the rescue for small bedroom quarters [3] and tiny kitchen areas, but what about the daunting living room? Couches, coffee tables, TV stands, and other large furniture pieces take up much-needed space, leaving you with little room to work with. The solution? Multipurpose furniture pieces that not only create more room but also offer storage solutions [4] to keep your living room essentials right where you need them.
Check out these affordable pieces from Ikea [5] that will give you and your living room all the space you could ever need, no matter how small the place you call home might be.
