10 IKEA Items That Save Space in Small Apartments

A transforming table, a bed with storage system, a bathroom chair with a towel shelf and other multi-functional and simply convenient items for small spaces – in our selection

ECOBOLO sofa

The chance of accidentally sitting on a remote control, smartphone or glasses decreases many times when the sofa is equipped with comfortable shelves. In this three-seater model, there are four of them – and all of them are within reach, no matter where you're sitting.

Putting books on these shelves is a pleasure, and if the library is small, it can fit entirely here. For small items, designers at IKEA recommend a convenient 'partner' for the sofa – the LALLELED coffee table in the same industrial style.

Portable table NORDEN

Remember the old classic book table? IKEA came up with something similar, only better. Unlike any must-have Soviet dining table, this universal portable table has six spacious sliding drawers for storing anything – from kitchen utensils to office supplies. The table only looks compact at first glance: when fully extended, the tabletop length reaches almost 1.5 meters.

Storage cabinet EKET

Modular furniture is our everything. A four-compartment cabinet is indispensable in tight spaces; it can be combined with other modules from the same series or placed on the floor as a console (remember to adjust the feet). Plus, there's a palette of seven colors – and the cabinet will blend into any interior.

Bed with drawers BRIMNES

This bed's multifunctionality allows you to save space in the bedroom that would otherwise be reserved for nightstands and a bulky wardrobe. Because it's convenient to hide bedding accessories right in the headboard, which has three shelves on each side, and there are four spacious drawers at the base of the bed for bedding, blankets, and seasonal items.

As an additional bonus – a wide headboard where you can place a nightlight and accessories.

Wall mirror KNAPPER

A full-height mobile mirror with a hanger and hooks for clothes – simply a find for small apartments with tiny hallways, where the ability to fully turn around in front of a mirror is often a super task.

This mirror is easy to move from room to room and not heavy (its weight is just over 10 kilograms). The mirror can also be used in the bathroom. If it somehow breaks, contrary to popular belief, no harm will come: the glass is coated with special film that protects against shards.

Armchair KOARP

This armchair fits perfectly in a small apartment and visually increases ceiling height thanks to its low profile and lightweight legs. Available in six colors, with one of the neutral tones being cheerful canary yellow.

Additional detail – two discreet pockets for storage on the backrest. Car enthusiasts will appreciate it.

Mini-kitchen SUNNERSSTA

A universal and equally successful solution for both small spaces with a limited budget and unfurnished rental apartments. If there's enough space of about 1.5 meters on the kitchen or bathroom floor, you can use this construction to set up a full laundry area.

All that's left is to complement the mini-kitchen or mini-laundry with hooks, containers, and a fun wheeled cart from the same series.

Bathroom chair RÖGRUND

This chair with a shelf and three-rail backrest must be in every bathroom, just like soap and a toothbrush. Because the rails are perfect for hanging towels and clothes or stacking them on the shelf, placing cosmetics on the seat or putting a hairdryer there during blow-drying, sliding floor scales under the chair so they don’t get damaged... Ah yes, and it’s also a place to sit.

Hanger MAKKAPÉR

A hanger, six sturdy hooks, three shelves for headwear and footwear – this piece of furniture has everything you need to store items in the hallway. An important feature of the hanger is its compact size: its width is only 78 centimeters.

The base of the shelves is made in the form of a transparent grid. It prevents sand and dirt from accumulating on the shelves and makes cleaning easier.
