Tiny Apartment Finds That Are Basically Genius

Whether youre living in a small space by choice or not, cramped habitats usually come with a very specific set of problems. Not only does your living area have to serve multiple functions (hello, dining table/work desk), but tiny apartments can often be awkwardly shaped. A tight space paired with an equally tight budget means that you might not be able to live out your Pinterest-fueled dream-home aspirations just yet, but dont let a lack of square footage prevent you from trying. Form and function are not mutually exclusive in small spaces, and weve got the products to prove it.

Between solutions for shared bathrooms and fixes for an overflowing kitchen pantry problem, these pieces will help you make the most of any space. Even if youre not living in a truly tiny home, were sure youll find something to make your life a little easier.

A freestanding bookshelf is useful in every room of the house, and if its got great bones, all the better.

In a bedroom, use it as an extension of your dresser to store your favorite folded bulky sweaters and colorful garments.
