1. A platform bed to solve your bedroom's style and storage problems in one go. It has four extra large drawers in case your room is too small for a dresser and adds a rustic-industrial vibe with its iron and kiln-dried wood construction.
2. A compact, colorful velvet loveseat in case you're tight on space and seethe with envy every time you scroll past an interior design Instagram page that boasts an extravagant velvet sectional.
3. A room divider to trick yourself into thinking your studio apartment is actually a one-bedroom. Ugh, if only.
4. A round wall mirror that'll give any room the illusion of being larger and brighter — because we can't magically make our apartment bigger, but this kinda does the trick.
5. A standing mirror if you can't be bothered with hanging a wall mirror but your apartment still could (desperately) use the illusion of space. Not to mention, you'll have a designated place to admire your #ootd.
6. A set of 10 brushed metal knobs that'll give cabinetry a whole new look without having to buy new cabinets or transfer all your clothes to a new dresser.
7. A globe flush mount light, because the standard flush mount lights that come in most apartments are...well, unwelcoming and sterile. But, a glass pendant light with an Edison bulb? It ticks all the boxes: homey, warm, stylish, etc.
8. A swiveling, tilting, and extendable TV wall mount so you don't have to contort your neck in order to watch your favorite show. It's perfect for rooms with minimal floor space and no room for a television console!
9. A kitchen pantry for my snackers who are wrongfully deprived of snack storage space. You don't have to choose between the necessary canned goods and your favorite bag of chips — you'll have room for both. Plus, it also has a cubby for your microwave (and as someone who lives in a teeny studio, I know just how important that is). Who can relate? 😩
10. A portable dishwasher, because unfortunately, apartments aren't required by law to have one already built-in. Injustice at its finest, but we will persevere. Oh, and it gets even better — you don't have to attach it to a water source, thanks to its 5-liter water tank!
11. A convertible sleeper chair so your guests have a place to sleep in your apartment other than the floor. It's a bed for your bestie when you're having a slumber party and an accent chair for you when you're alone. A win-win.
12. A Keurig K-mini single-serve coffee maker, because one of the major concessions you had to make when moving from your parent's house to a studio apartment was having ample counter space. But, that doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to a freshly brewed cup of coffee every morning.
13. A Brita faucet filter if your fridge barely has room for your groceries, let alone a whole filtered water pitcher. Bonus: with this, you never have to worry about filling said water pitcher (thank God.)
14. A space-saving, three-tier, over-the-toilet unit that gives you all the storage your bathroom didn't come with and even the opportunity to incorporate some decor. Plants, candles, baskets, crystals, maybe a little art? You probably thought your small bathroom was strictly utilitarian. Boy, were you wrong.
15. A roll of exposed brick stick-on wallpaper so you can turn your blank, boring walls into something straight out of a chic industrial-style NYC loft.
16. A freestanding clothing rack, because a major problem with tiny apartments is even tinier closet space. And instead of cramming all your jackets into your closet until you can barely close the door and are on the verge of tears — you can use this rack for your ~aesthetically pleasing~ outfits or as your weekly outfit planner, saving you space and frustration.
17. An over-the-sink drying rack that also acts as a storage cabinet for all your mugs, plates, and glasses that can't fit in either of your two comically small kitchen cabinets.
18. A floating shelf if you dream of a bookcase but the reality is your apartment's square footage won't allow such a thing. Do you believe that dreams come true? I do. Because as it turns out, you don't need floor space to put your books (and any other objects you hold near and dear to your heart) *properly* on display.
19. A mini projector so you can watch movies the way they were meant to be watched (projected onto your ceiling while you snuggle up in your bed and bask in the glory of somehow having an IMAX movie experience from the comfort of your small apartment.)
20. A portable end table that conveniently holds everything you need at your fingertips while you're vegging out. The best part about it? It's easily tucked into the armrest of your couch or beside your bed, since (as we already know,) you really don't have much space to spare.
21. A cordless vacuum, because unfortunately, when your space is small, you see every speck of dust that builds up. Even more unfortunate is the fact that it's simply too impractical to have a full vacuum unless, of course, you decide to make it a part of your decor — not cute. Luckily, this is easy to use and slim enough to fit into your closet or even inconspicuously in a corner without being a complete eyesore.
22. A hanging fruit basket that not only saves fridge and counter space but also keeps your fresh produce at eye level, so, ya know, you remember it's there before the smell of rotting fruit has to remind you.
23. A flatware caddy in case the kitchen in your apartment didn't come with any functioning drawers. Yes, I've seen it happen...because it happened to me. But, I lived to tell the tale and I'm here to let you know that you absolutely *need* one of these.
24. A magnetic spice rack you can stick right onto your fridge and free up much-needed cabinet space. I know, I sound like a broken record by now, but your apartment's lack of kitchen storage is seriously a problem. Besides that, it also has a towel rack, which is yet another game changer (I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you probably don't have a convenient place for your paper towels either.)
25. A curved shower rod that'll give you a little more shower space and most importantly, lessen the chance of your clean body being touched by the wet shower curtain. A nightmarish experience, to say the least.
26. A set of wall hooks so you can hang your coats, hats, bags, and towels...or any other items that end up in a pile on your floor due to the lack of closet storage in your home.
27. A set of six remote-controlled stick-on LED lights, because I've spent enough time lamenting small apartments' lack of storage and not nearly enough time addressing their equally as infamous lack of lighting. Just stick these lil' suckers in any corner that could use some illumination (or color for that matter, since they're color-changing!)
28. A compact, high-top kitchen table so you can enjoy your meal like a normal human (as opposed to eating on your couch while you strategically balance the bowl to avoid spillage.) And in *true*, small-apartment-friendly furniture fashion, it has a concealed cabinet at the bottom, because you need the extra storage wherever you can get it.
29. A sleek, open cubby desk that can double as a stylish console table in case your living room doubles as your office from the hours of 9 to 5.
30. And a Murphy bed so the only time you won't have *maximum* floor space is when you're sleeping. Other than that, you'll have more room than you know what to do with.
