1. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo because the first step in making your home look bigger is ditching the junk you really don't need. This timeless book makes one simple request: pack up whatever doesn't spark joy and kick it to the curb.
2. A wall mounted foldable desk that can store your laptop and all other WFH accessories. Just pull the table down when you're ready to get to work and push it up when you're done — now, something that used to take up half of your wall barely takes up any space at all.
3. A stunning floor-length mirror you should face towards the window or another mirror to open up your space, that way you can pretend your apartment is 1,600 square feet instead of 300.
4. A printed area rug to place right in the middle of your bedroom. It'll make it seem bigger because you were able to fit in a seemingly large patterned rug but you can still see your floor.
5. Corner shelves because even the most basic furniture can't typically fit into that space. Filling up the corners of your room will make it seem wider and allow you to use up allllll that free real estate.
6. A three-tier bamboo shelf rack featuring a sleek design that doubles as storage and decor. It is perfect for small bathrooms because you can stuff rolls of toilet paper, plants, electronics, and/or beauty items on top, plus it can be mounted to the wall if you have limited floor space.
7. A floating TV console so you can stash any gaming devices, extra remotes, and other decor so they're not strewn across the floor.
8. An ottoman that will give you extra storage and help you save so much space. It also has a removable lid big enough to comfortably lay your feet on top and fit snacks, a remote, and a blanket inside — aka all the Netflix binge session staples.
9. Vacuum storage bags to temporarily shrink your clothes to give you more storage instead of crowding your tiny linen closet. Your winter wardrobe and bedding will now be small enough to fit into a Jacquemus mini purse.
10. A peel-and-stick wall mural featuring abstract art that's beautiful enough to be in the MoMA. It's perfect for tricking anyone into thinking that your floor to ceiling gap is bigger than it actually is.
11. A handmade beech wood floating bedside drawer that's a bit bigger than a shoebox and can only be described as magic for small bedrooms. The futuristic piece of decor can hold your lamp, glasses, beauty items, and plants on top, plus you can store a ton of items inside.
12. A two-for-one over the door mirror and jewelry organizer so you can remove that huge, expensive vanity from your cart. This will allow you to store as many accessories as your heart desires and allows you to get a full glimpse of your ensemble without taking up more space.
13. A utility rack to put over your washer and dryer that will keep everyone's eyes looking up. Using high furniture will make your apartment seem longer and thus way bigger, plus this is the perfect way to store bulky bottles of detergent.
14. A beautiful upholstered mid-century velvet accent chair so you can give away your bulky, excess loveseats and enjoy a little extra space.
15. A 70-inch industrial floor lamp because there's no denying that a well-lit room looks more spacious. This tall, minimalist piece will make your ceiling look higher in comparison.
16. Floor-to-ceiling drapes that you should hang slightly above your window so you can create the illusion that your ceiling is actually much higher than it actually is.
17. A platform bed with four drawers so you can stop stacking your clothes on the ~laundry chair.~ The drawers are a solid color so no one can see what's in there, but everyone will certainly be commenting on how neat, organized, and big your room looks.
18. White primer and paint for your walls because lighter, solid colors give the illusion of making your space look more open and wide.
19. A platform bed because the lower the bed, the higher the ceiling will appear. Plus, ditching the headboard will keep you from wasting vertical space and will make a small room appear more crowded.
20. A bookshelf that will blend in with white walls, that way it'll look like you have never-ending space. And if it feels a little too empty or bland, you can always add a pop of colorful decor.
21. A cable sleeve because messy cords can make your work desk look cluttered, but tidying them up with this cover can help everything look more open and spacious.
22. A wall mount for your TV which will make it feel like it's almost built into the wall. Plus, you won't need to buy extra furniture to hold your device because it will be magically floating in the air thanks to this handy invention.
23. An inexpensive sofa arm table that's secure and wide enough to fit everything that you'll need. It'll replace end tables which is ~ahmazing~ because less furniture will keep money in your pocket and give you more space in your place.
24. A curtain liner that has mesh pockets with a cute design that doubles as storage and decor. It is perfect for small bathrooms — instead of stuffing your counter with all your products, you can beautifully display them with this curtain.
25. Shoe Slotz that allow you to fit 32 pairs of shoes in the most aesthetically pleasing way and off the floor.
