Furniture that Fits
If your bathroom is so cramped that it’s hard to fit in a bar of soap, try the organizer systems from The Container Store. The Elfa Easy Hang Bath Storage Unit fits over your toilet to maximize the space you do have and has lots of extra shelves for towels, shampoo bottles and anything else you use in your daily pampering routine. $120.78
Forget the clumsy ironing board, pick up a Compact Ironing Center from target.com instead. It includes three hanging hamper bags (think colors, darks and whites), an ironing board surface on top and corner hangers that easily detach so that clothes can easily be transferred from the rack to your closet. $34.99
Also at target.com, make your living room coffee table a place that can also be used to hold sodas and other items. The Our House Black Cocktail Table includes two pull-out rattan baskets and an extra shelf. In the same design you can find an end table, desk and hutch. The mix of classic and contemporary design is great for apartments that have a mish-mosh of furniture styles. Coffee Table $129.99
If you’re tired of eating on the couch but don’t have room for a kitchen table, try a compact solution from apartmentdecorandmore.com. The cocktail table with four hide-away stools seats four but takes up only a small space in your kitchen or dining area. It’s only 21½ inches high but has enough space on which to serve meals (36 x 36) and comfy, padded stools. Available in oak or black and includes free shipping. $374.88
Also see the computer armoire that can be used as an alternative to an office desk. $488.88
