Selecting space saving furniture


  • Do not purchase furniture solely on floor plan.

  • Take possession of new home, live-in space and buy furniture.

  • Give importance to functional aspect and then the aesthetic appeal.

  • Avoid purchasing bulky furniture pieces and opt for small pieces

  • As much as possible, select neutral colors (light color furniture, walls, floors etc can make a room seem bigger)

  • While buying sofas/chairs consider the height of family members so that it is comfortable for all.

  • Select chairs and sofas with open arms and exposed legs. Makes room appear big and airy.

  • Shop smart for dual-purpose furniture.

  • Select furniture with built-in storage, a great way to get more free space.

  • Look for furniture that can be minimized or maximized when the need arises.

Arranging space saving furniture


  • Place the biggest piece of furniture against the longest wall.

  • Try and arrange furniture in a manner that no wall is swallowed up entirely by one piece of furniture.

  • Remember to create balance in floor area. Do not overcrowd one part and leave the other completely vacant.

  • Place smaller piece of furniture against smaller wall.

  • Aim to have some balance space left on either side of the furniture

  • Accessories like lamps; table etc should be fitted in the leftover space after placing larger items.

  • Give ample room to walk. Keep furniture in the center of the room to the minimum.
