1. Prioritize Multi-Functional Pieces
In small spaces, every piece should serve multiple purposes. Consider:
- Sofa Beds: Perfect for guest rooms or studio apartments.
- Extendable Dining Tables: Expand for entertaining, collapse for daily use.
- Storage Ottomans: Stylish seating with hidden storage.
At Leisure Italian, our customization tool lets you design multi-functional pieces, like a compact sectional sofa with built-in storage. Explore our custom sofa collection to get started.
2. Optimize Dimensions for Your Space
Measure your space carefully to avoid overcrowding. Tips:
- Use a tape measure or laser tool for accurate dimensions.
- Leave at least 18–24 inches for walkways to maintain flow.
- Opt for low-profile or modular furniture to create an open feel.
Our Leisure Italian design platform allows you to input exact measurements, ensuring your custom furniture fits perfectly.
3. Choose Light Colors and Reflective Materials
Light colors and reflective surfaces make small spaces feel larger. Try:
- Neutral Fabrics: Beige, cream, or light gray upholstery.
- Glass or Metal Accents: Reflective finishes for tables or chair legs.
- Mirrored Elements: Add depth to your design.
