1. A 3-in-1 convertible chair guaranteed to unfold at the *exact* angle you prefer when watching TV. Use it as a regular chair, a chaise, or bed (that way you don't have to pull your mattress into the living room).
Promising review: "The thing with chair-beds is that beds need to be firm to be comfortable, but chairs need to be soft to be comfortable. This chair is firm, but not hard. It's nice and wide — reminds me of a chair-and-a-half. I like it a lot. I slept in it three nights and it was very comfortable. I have it in my guest bedroom with a twin bed so two people can use the room or just one with a chair. I kind of want another for my living room because you can also use it as a chaise lounge! Three uses is fantastic!" —Daisy
Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in 11 colors).
2. A discreet upholstered bed that looks like any ol' frame, until you lift up your mattress (with the aid of hydraulics) to reveal loaddddddddds of storage space where you can store off-season clothes or just the bag of Haribo gummies you don't want your partner to eat.
Promising review: "VERY well packaged and manufactured. Directions not the best (parts not labeled) but wasn't a big issue. Took about an hour to assemble (I have done lots of similar projects). The bed surpassed my expectations for detail, fit, and finish." —rickey busch
Get it from Amazon for $245.99+ (available in sizes Twin–Queen, with or without storage or trundle, and in 15 colors/styles).
3. A combined floor lamp and end table if you're 1. Trying to save space or 2. Just absolutely enamored (like any sensible adult) with multitasking pieces.
Promising review: "I was looking for a lamp of this style and happened to come across this one. It had no reviews so I was suspicious, but for the price I took the chance. Best gamble ever! This lamp is so beautiful and the quality is amazing. The marble base is like real, sturdy marble. Gold finishing looks so expensive. Table is not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it and can’t believe I was able to find this for such a deal." —Sarah Diaz
Get it from Amazon for $79.49+ (available in two lampshade colors).
4. A bamboo burner cover ready to transform any teensy-tiny kitchen and give you 20 to 30 more inches of counter space! That might not sound like a whole lot, but my fellow NYC dwellers know it's nothing to sneeze at.
BuzzFeeder Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease:
"OK so I just bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there."
Promising review: "This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." —Talyn Amber Skye
Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in five styles).
5. A hinged storage cabinet/mirror for the random stuff you just don't have room for anywhere else. If you've run out of space in your apartment, think again! Bet you're not using those few inches behind your bedroom door. 🤔
Promising review: "This is a must-have for any small space. My bathroom has no medicine cabinet, just a mirror and it's pretty small so storage is a huge deal. My girlfriend came across this item so I figured I would give it a shot since it's Prime eligible. This item came FAST and packaged extremely well (much better than expected) and the finish was flawless. I know it states it needs two people to install but I put this together and hung it in about an hour by myself with very minimal effort and I'm sure if I did it again it would be significantly less time. This fits soo much stuff it really is amazing and it does not impede any operation of the door. I can't fully explain how much I recommend this. I'm about to order the mirror version for my bedroom for colognes and little knickknacks to declutter the countertops." —happyshaver
Get it from Amazon for $259.99.
6. A space-saving kitchen island with a drop-leaf top and two concealed stools you can whip out whenever you need extra seating. Idk who designed this baby, but studio dwellers everywhere are singing your praise.
Promising review: "VERY easy to build! We love this! I grabbed this wanting to have more counter space and a place for my kids to sit at to help me cook. I love how the stools can be stored inside when not in use and the wheels allow me to move it around as needed. I did have some issues with the drawers opening and closing, but that was my builder error (just make sure the stoppers are pushed in as far as they will go before you put the drawers in!) Great little kitchen cart!" —jcee512
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $149.06.
7. A boucle storage bench where you can hide your favorite throw blanket. You know, the one you cuddle with every day but don't keep on the couch because it has a noticeable ketchup stain.
Promising review: "Super cute storage. Just what I needed with enough storage space for my needs. It was super easy to assemble, just screw the legs on. I love the texture of the fabric and shape of the ottoman. I would purchase this again." —mparker
Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in three colors).
8. A shoe cabinet narrow enough to fit in tight mudrooms, entry halls, and foyers. At minimum, it holds six pairs of sneakers, slip-ons, or sandals — that way they're not strewn all over the floor ripe for tripping.
Promising review: "Love this little shoe storage system. Fits 6+ pairs of shoes, and with 6 inches of depth it fits perfectly in tight spaces or behind doors. Really helped organize and clean up my front landing space of my townhouse. Came packaged fully assembled and included hardware. I ended up getting different drywall anchors from The Home Depot because I didn't like the ones that came with the cabinet, but otherwise no issues." —Lauren "LaLa" Peacock
Get it from Amazon for $169.95+ (available in two sizes).
9. A space-saving ladder desk that might just convince you to stop working from bed. Sure, it doesn't have the benefit of six pillows and a duvet, but your spine won't be bent like a cheese curl and you can actually show your background on Zoom.
Promising review: "I had this blank corner in my living room, and I just knew this ladder desk would be a gorgeous addition to the area. I don't have an extra room for an office or even the kind of space in our small home to designate to a bulky desk. It was very easy to assemble. It took maybe 25 minutes to put together. I love having my own spot to get my work done on my MacBook. Plus, this spot is perfect to work on any crafts/DIYs. I added a pouf seat instead of a chair just to save even more space since it easily slides underneath the desk. Anyway, I'm so stoked about this purchase! I highly recommend it." —Heather Nicholson
Get it from Amazon for $149.69+ (available in three finishes).
10. Or a hanging desk that attaches to a window via suction cups so you don't even have to sacrifice an inch of wall space to create a home office.
The genius desk comes from small biz Buck the BC on Etsy.
Promising review: "Wow, wow, wow was this perfect! Exactly what I needed at a killer price and amazing workmanship. Surprisingly super-sturdy as well. Carefully wrapped and fast delivery too!" —DP
Get it from Buck the BC on Etsy for $119.
Psst — this items ✨ships for free! ✨
11. A stainless steel mixing bowl with five grater inserts so you don't have to make room in your cabinet for a mixing bowl and a box grater. Single-use products are a major no-no in any storage-starved kitchen!
Get it from our Goodful shop for $24.99.
12. A convertible sectional sofa with a reversible ottoman that makes it a great option for small spaces and people who like to rearrange their living room every other month.
Promising review: "As recent bachelor, I found that this little number truly fit the bill in my small apartment. Inexpensive, easy to assemble and surprisingly comfortable for the money. I even feel asleep on it the other night. Thumbs up!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $319.97+ (available in four colors).
13. A corner credenza that also serves as a dog crate so Sparky isn't the only one with an ugly bed. Plus, more importantly, your combined bedroom/dining room/office/living room doesn't have to harbor an eyesore of a crate.
The large piece comes fully assembled (!!) and the manufacturer says it can fit XXL pups (think 90+ pounders).
Promising review: "We got this and it fits perfectly for where I wanted it to go. It looks like a really nice piece of furniture and not a simple dog kennel. I made pillows to fit the bottom of it perfectly and our three small dogs love it. We have to coax them to come out sometimes. Delivery guys were very pleasant and called half an hour in advance to getting here and were here right when they said they would be. Another great experience with Wayfair! I love this company!" —Brenda
Get it from Wayfair for $1,039.99 (available in 23 colors and three top finishes).
14. A four-tier rotating storage cube where you can show off your sickest Blu-ray discs/collectibles. If guests happen to catch you on an off day, though, you can swivel the cubes so clutter is out of view.
Promising review: "This piece looks great and completely solves the problem I had of my Blu-rays, DVDs, and games being scattered all around because there was no place to put them all. It looks sleek and takes up very little floor space, due to its storage capacity being in height rather than width. My collection used to take up desk space, dresser space, and bookshelf space. Now, it's all in one attractive, compact unit that I can also use to properly display my collectibles :) All you need for assembly is a medium-size Philips head screwdriver. It's easy to assemble and (very important) easy to move, as you can carry the boxes one at a time to wherever you need them." —Rebekah
Get it from Amazon for $76.32.
15. A lift-top coffee table with three hidden storage drawers. Use them for throw blankets, pillows, or just the random ish that seems accumulate day to day (me looking @ the Taco Bell hot sauce packets on my coffee table rn).
Promising review: "This coffee table is the best thing ever if you eat on the couch in front of a TV. It's well built, is packaged so it will arrive undamaged, and is better than a 'regular' coffee table in every respect. The top is easy to open and the slowly closing hydraulic shocks are great. The storage is useful for things that you want nearby but not sitting out (extra remotes, etc.). The opening top is the real star... it's like you're eating at your kitchen table. There's less crumbs on the floor and less salsa my clothes." —Mammynun
Get it from Amazon for $234.99 (clip the coupon for $25 off this price!).
16. A simple table/bench for concealing one of the ugliest things in any cat owner's home — the litter box!
Promising review: "Love this. Our bathroom had only a pedestal sink and no surface area before purchasing and our previous litter box was an ugly plastic monstrosity. Once this arrived and was put together, my bathroom suddenly became more functional and attractive! We use the top to hold our toiletries such as toothbrushes, hair brushes, and other styling tools. The shelf below holds litter specific things, such as poo bags, a scooper, and a small handheld brush for sweeping out any litter that managed to sneak out of the actual box inside. The cat never seemed bothered by the switch. In fact, I think he might actually have a little more space inside despite his plastic box being huge." —Merrie
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in six finishes).
17. A three-in-one entryway organizer that'll trick people into thinking your home has no clutter. Little do they know you just threw everything in those cubbies before they arrived. 😈
18. A wall-mounted table you can use as a desk, for extra counter space in your kitchen, as a place to fold laundry, or as a dinner table. And once your done, it folds down taking up next to no space so you don't have to shimmy around it all awkwardly.
Promising review: "This is a great table for our laundry room! When we moved into our condo, the washer and dryer that came with it were slanted on top and couldn't be used for folding clothes. This table fit in perfectly and is well made and can hold substantial weight if needed. I could see it used as a portable desk somewhere also." —Anne C.
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in four sizes).
19. A toilet paper dispenser small enough to slide right between the commode and bathroom wall. This way, you don't have to fill up your entire bathroom cabinet with TP rolls or worry about them getting wet in one of those open wire stands.
The white lidded dispenser holds roughly 12 rolls of standard toilet paper. While you can also load it up with jumbo rolls, reviewers say they are harder to get out of the access point on the side so you'll have to open the lid when you need a new one.
Promising review: "This dispenser is even better looking in person. I live in a small place and have limited storage options. Honestly, even if I had all of the storage in the world, I would still want one of these. Up until now, I was keeping the extra toilet paper under my bed. Pretty inconvenient when you realize you need another roll mid business. Note that the hole in the side is good for standard sized rolls of toilet paper but it probably will not fit the larger ones. This is perfectly OK, since the lid on the top is super light and easy open if you need to reach inside for a roll. I am very happy with this purchase." —LisaP.
Get it from Amazon for $56.
20. A Novogratz memory sofa that's also a futon so when your mom drops by unannounced — as she's known to do — you don't have to wrestle an air mattress out of your one (way-overstuffed) closet.
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite Amazon purchases. Yes, it is a fUtOn 🙀. But it looks like an expensive mid-century modern couch, and is surprisingly comfy for under 400 bucks. When my children destroyed my first living room set from a furniture store in two years, I was over expensive furniture. Seriously, it looked like my couch had been in a war zone. So I took a chance on this for a fourth of the price. It looks awesome and feels sturdy. The box looked like hell when it came, but the couch was untouched. Came together in 15 minutes. So will this last forever? No probably not. But does it look amazing? Yes, yes it does. Will I be able to domesticate my wild animal children? Only time will tell." —Ben Cline
Get it from Amazon for $310.65+ (available in four colors).
21. A chic room divider so you can divide your studio in a way that *feels* like you have separate rooms. Use it to cordon off a bedroom, as a backdrop for your home office Zoom meetings, or create a changing area (it's great at concealing your "clothes chair.")
The Inside is a small home furnishings brand that partners with heritage design brands like Scalamandré and Old World Weavers.
Promising reviews: "I’m obsessed with it. We have major home renovations going on--- house expansion and my office is being painted, so this screen is my saving grace for WFH/virtual styling calls! Excellent quality. Love it!" —Shaye S.
Get it from The Inside for $499 (available in 113 patterns).
22. A folding portable table with two storage shelves and room for up to four people when fully extended! This thing is like the Swiss Army knife of furniture — use it as a dining room table, desk, side table, or decorative console.
Promising review: "So happy with this table. It’s larger that I had anticipated which is great. Takes some time to assemble but it's totally worth it. In an NYC apartment, everyone appreciates furniture that can fold up and be neatly tucked away in a corner. It also arrived two weeks early which was great!" —Amber Martin
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three finishes).
23. A rolling baker's rack if your kitchen offers little to no counter and cabinet space, but you *won't* be made to order DoorDash every night.
Promising review: "This thing is perfect, OK? I've got a studio apartment and don't really have a lot of room to work with. I had absolutely NO counter space so this baking rack saved my life. I've got more room for groceries and plenty of prep space for getting food ready. You can fit a coffee pot, some containers of spices, and still have the vast majority of the space left over for prep space. The storage underneath is adjustable, so you can make the space between the lower and highest level larger or smaller. You easily could put a microwave on the bottom shelves and store other larger kitchen appliances." —Homeboy Gotcha
Get it from Amazon for $83.36.
24. An elegant shoe storage ottoman where you can covertly hide all of the shoes that won't fit in your closet/mudroom/under your bed.
Promising review: "This is beautiful, unexpectedly! It looks much more expensive, and the storage space inside is ample. Living in a smaller-sized apartment, I find this is a perfect medium-sized ottoman. It's not too small as to be useless and not too large as to eat up the whole room. I bought the white one. Also, it is sturdy enough to sit on and to put your drinks or books on. The seaming is slightly off, but to an untrained eye, this will go unnoticed. This is truly a great buy!" —Lady
Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in 10 colors).
25. And/or a velvet ottoman that's not only a great place to kick up your feet, but a secret lil' storage spot where you can stow throw blankets. If your home barely has room for furniture, this versatile piece will come in clutch.
Promising review: "I love this versatile stool! It’s stylish, well-made, and extremely easy to assemble. When used for seating, it’s comfortable and sturdy; when used as an end table it adds such a fun design element for any space. The storage is also a bonus if you are living in small space like I am. I highly recommend!" —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors).
26. A low-profile toilet paper holder you can use to hold flushable wipes, Poo-Pourri, an extra roll of TP, or even a teeny tiny succulent to zhuzh up the 4x4-foot cell your broker called a "washroom."
Promising review: "I used to have to put my stuff on the tile floor, but no more. This not only fits my iPhone, but it also fits my iPad Pro 10 1/2-inch standing up diagonally! It’s very strongly mounted to the wall with the two screws. I also love that it’s so easy to just slide the roll onto the hanger without the hassle of a spring-loaded spindle. Great product!" —Doby
Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in four colors).
27. A fold-out drink station with room for glasses, mixers, liquor bottles, and the like. Once you've whipped up your adult bevvy of choice, just fold that bad boy up and it takes up barely any space.
The Shaker-style shelf can hold standard 12-inch-tall wine bottles and fifths of liquor. It ships in one piece so all you have to do is hang it with the included hardware!
Promising review: "My new apartment is kind of small in the kitchen area, and I didn't want to just have wine and whiskey atop the fridge. This little hanging bar is perfect. It's quality construction, so I trust I'm not going to come home to liquor and glass all over the floor, and it's very cute on the wall." —Laur
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $130.
28. A pair of bamboo nesting tables you can separate whenever you need extra room for your takeout spread and then slide back together when you want a lil' more space.
Promising review: "I love these nesting tables! They fit perfect under each other in my studio apartment. They DO NOT fit completely under. There is some hang off, hence nesting. These save space, easy to put together, and are gorgeous! These are the perfect height for my couch, allows me to store my laptop under it, and when I need my laptop, I can bring it closer to me while leaving the TV alone. (I use my TV in conjunction with my laptop for a number of screening purposes)." —Sakura Haruno
Get the set of two from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in four colors).
29. A magnetic stove shelf on which you can stack your go-to spices, oils, and kitschy salt and pepper shakers. It's also a convenient place to dry out a turkey wishbone if your family is into that tradition.
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action.
Promising review: "There was no set up...Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in six finishes).
30. A shower curtain liner with storage pockets because if your razor falls off the edge of the tub one more time, you're going to rage throw it as hard as you can.
FYI the curtain has nine mesh pockets, which are able to hold items up to 1 pound each, so just don't go throwing a mega-size conditioner in there, okay?
Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for my tub/shower situation. We have no shelving, and shower head racks tend to get rusty/caked with soap and have even fallen off. We've had this in the shower for three months now and it's great. It holds all our bottles, razors, and bars of soap." —Rachel B
Get it from Amazon for $18.34+ (available in two styles).
Read our full review of the shower curtain liner with pockets (#2).
31. A Shaker-style raised dog feeding station with a big ol' drawer where you can store your pup's kibble so you don't have to keep a 20-pound bag of Purina out in plain sight.
The Webb Ranch is a San Angelo, Texas–based small biz from husband and wife duo Chris and Grace Webb. They make all sorts of custom pieces including these dog feeders which come in various sizes to suit all sorts of breeds!
Promising review: "The builder/seller was so awesome to work with. As soon as I placed the order, they reached out to make sure all my customizations were correct. They also were very responsive with updates on the delivery. The craftsmanship from the wood to the paint is flawless. My pup loves her new setup and the extra storage for the food is exactly what we were hoping for! Would absolutely order from this shop again!" —Aaron Salb
Get it from The Webb Ranch on Etsy for $67.50+ (originally $90+; available in two colors and seven top finishes).
Psst — this items ✨ships for free! ✨
32. A mounted pot rack so you don't have to waste what little cabinet space you have trying to store stock pots other big pieces that just don't nest well.
Promising review: "We have a really tiny kitchen and needed more space to store pots. This was a great option for the price and so far has held up really well! We cook every day and so are constantly taking items off of them and putting it back on the shelf. Not only does it look sharp but it frees up counter and cupboard space!" —Benjamin Burdick
Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in two sizes).
33. A lightweight Bissell vacuum with three different configurations and a slim design that make it excellent at getting into nooks and crannies and a cinch to store.
Promising review: "Purchased this vacuum to use in a small studio apartment where a pricey vacuum would have been overkill. I am very happy with the quality for the price. There is a small filtering cup that is included. It fills very fasts. It is not a filter needed for heavy duty vacuum jobs, but it is perfect for my small studio (carpets and hardwood floors). And I am happy with the ability to break the stick down into smaller pieces for a variety of chores. It's perfect. An excellent price for a whole lot of cleaning power. Also the perfect size for storing in limited space." —Denny Cormier
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four colors).
34. A cutting board and strainer combo if you've got v little counter and cabinet space to work with. The colander part even collapses in for easy storage!
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I have purchased for our tiny apartment! It's a pretty good size cutting board and I can see it fitting over most sinks. I LOVE the bowl inside that can let wet ingredients drain liquid directly into the sink. It's seriously SO nice to have this when you're limited on counter space!" —Atara
Get it from Amazon for $22.06+ (available in two colors).
35. A conveniently compact 8-in-1 spiralizer for spiralizing (duh), juicing, grating, shredding, and more. No need to search your kitchen for multiple gadgets when everything you need can be done with just one.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this gadget:
"I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe."
Promising review: "LOVE THIS. I absolutely love this. So far I've used the thicker spiralizer, two of the grater things, and then the juicer. I love how easy this makes keeping everything together. And it's sharp so it actually cuts through things without you needing to work super hard to do it. The only thing I don't love is that the spiralizers are a bit hard to clean, but I guess that's with all of them? Not sure because this is the first I've owned. But, overall I'd recommend it :)" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
36. A boho hat hanger that doubles as a piece of art. Look, Schitt's Creek may be over (😭), but Alexis Rose will *always* be your style icon, and these guys aren't going anywhere — even if you, too, have to share a room with your brother.
Madhatters by Robyn is a small LA-based shop. This particular hanger comes with five knotted and assembled ropes, five S hooks, two gold nails, and two leather straps (with pre-drilled holes), so it's ready to install on arrival.
Promising review: "Wow. This hatter is beautiful!!!! I can’t wait to show it off. Robyn was nothing but kind, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure my hatter arrived. Customer service was INCREDIBLE. Thank you, Robyn! Our apartment is now complete!" —sambelvin
Get it from Madhatters by Robyn for $44+ (available in eight configurations).
37. A floating shelf with two secret storage compartments that comes in particularly clutch in teensy tiny bathrooms. Don't want all of your toiletries, cotton swabs, and half-squeezed toothpaste tubes out for display on your vanity? Throw 'em in here!
Promising review: "Purchased this for our bathroom to alleviate some storage issues. Super sturdy and easy to install. It’s probably too small for towel storage, but it really opened up space in our drawers and helped clear off the counter top. Would definitely recommend and purchase again." —Jmilian16
Get it from CB2 for $129.
38. A wall-mounted toothbrush holder with room for all of your dental hygiene products and two built-in magnetic mouthwash cups. It saves you counter-space but the real win here is not having to use your hands as a makeshift cup thus splashing water everywheeeerrre.
The organizer also has an automatic toothpaste dispenser, a storage drawer, and a multi-grid tray where you can put everything that doesn't fit in your medicine cabinet. The whole thing attaches to the wall via an adhesive sticker so you don't have to pull out any tools, either.
Promising review: "For the price, you really can't beat this product! I was afraid it might look cheap on my wall but it looked great in my black-and-white modern bathroom. My fiancé is thrilled that I now have a place to store all my hair ties and bobby pins so they aren't all over the counter, and it is the perfect tool for organizing your toothpaste and toothbrushes while freeing up space on your vanity. The toothpaste dispenser eliminates the mess I had to deal with before which is a huge bonus. Definitely recommend this product!" —alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four sizes and five styles).
39. Or an above-the-outlet shelf where you can tuck away electric toothbrushes, razors, soap, and whatever else won't fit on your vanity-style sink.
To install the shelf, simply remove your outlet's face plate, place the shelf, and then screw the plate back on with the included hardware. It should only take a few minutes at most.
Promising review: "This is a welcome addition for tiny bathrooms. Easy to install, a convenient and safe perch for electronics that may be charging. Love this!"— Cynthia Rrrr
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in packs of one, two, or four and three colors).
