Looking for all the small apartment living room furniture you'll ever need? Here are 9 must-have living room furniture for small spaces you'll actually need & love!
I know just how tiring it is to come across the best small living room furniture ideas EVER, but not be able to use them, just because you have a small space.
However, having to tailor all the information to your small apartment living room is not the most effective way to furnish a smaller home!
You'll need tried & true methods & ideas that were made FOR a small apartment specifically! This guide provides exactly that!
Here are my top 9 must-have small apartment living room furniture that I SWEAR by & couldn't go a day without! Not only are these 9 living room furniture super stunning, but they're super practical & space-saving as well! They're everything you'll ever need!
THE BEST SMALL APARTMENT LIVING ROOM FURNITURE
01. Opt for a Small Sectional Sofa
The one recommendation I keep seeing over & over again when it comes to living room furniture for small spaces is to prioritize 2-seater sofas.
However, I strongly believe that a small sectional sofa is MUCH more beneficial. Especially if it's a storage sectional!
Why? First of all, a smaller sectional is much more comfortable & provides a much cozier space to rewind after a hard day. Secondly, they take up JUST a tiny bit more space than loveseats, but they come with a chaise that makes them 10 times more effective!
And thirdly, they instantly become the focal points of your home. Which is great, if you don't have much space to sacrifice for outstanding decor elements because this way, you'll be able to lock the eyes in with just a few throw pillows, blankets or a nice sofa cover!
02. A Nesting Coffee Table is Also a Must!
The second most vital part of any small living room arrangement is undoubtedly a cute coffee table! And if you take my advice, you'll get yourself a nesting coffee table!
Not only does a nesting coffee table look extremely astonishing & unique, but it's also more useful than a regular coffee table!
See, a basic rectangular / round coffee table doesn't let you have a "second" coffee table. If you have guests over or just need more space for your movie night snacks, you'll pull the smaller table out & there you have an extra surface. And if you don't need it anymore, just push it back in.
Not many items let you tailor your small space to YOUR needs so well & save TONS of space doing so!!
03. Choose a TV Stand You Love
Don't worry too much about your TV stand! It's one of the most useful small apartment living room furniture anyway, so no need to stress too much about choosing the perfect fit for your home!
Trust me, anything will work! You just have to figure out your preferences & choose accordingly.
If you have lots of clutter you wanna hide or many items you need to store somewhere, a regular TV stand with storage & legs will be the best choice for you!
However, if you don't have much to store, definitely go with a floating console table! It's stunning & has just enough space under to let you place a few decorative baskets there!

04. Don't Forget to Add a Nice Console Table
Is a small apartment living room REALLY finished if there's no console table in it? I don't think so!
And don't think that it's a total waste for small spaces! You'd be surprised how useful & VITAL they are for your small apartment living room!
Not only does a slim console table provide you with that very much needed extra storage space, BUT it also structures your small space nicely. Which is especially beneficial for small open plan apartments! It breaks apart the different areas of your home, making it easier for the eyes to navigate through the place.
05. Try to Fit a Side Table In There As Well!
A side table is always super helpful! And no, even though you live in a small apartment, you won't have to sacrifice it!
Let me be honest, I DO think that a tiny side table / end table is one of the most useful small apartment living room furniture you'll ever get!
And if you think the same, I highly recommend that you get a C-shape end table, as pictured above! It'll provide more than enough surface for you to store your hot tea or snacks, magazines or tablet while lounging on your couch!
Another great thing about this is that it's at least 10 times less space-consuming than regular side tables! Those are really just a waste of space! But a C-shape end table is not, since it needs to be pushed under your sofa!
06. Add More Seating
Even if you think you don't REALLY need more seating, trust me, you do! Contrary to popular belief, a well chosen set of armchairs is NOT only a dust-catcher!
Apart from providing a comfy space for your guests, a nice armchair can also make a statement! It's honestly one of the most versatile small apartment living room furniture, so make sure you use it accordingly!
In my opinion, swivel accent armchairs are THE ultimate best options on the market if you want to achieve the perfect small apartment living room layout! They let you arrange & structure your living room in a more flexible way, and they also let you change things up more frequently!
So place one right across your sofa & decorate it using a throw blanket & throw pillows.

07. Get a Storage Ottoman
I know, you've probably never seen a storage ottoman includid in such a list, but I DO think that they are super helpful, so I feel like they're rightfully here!
First of all, they're cute. That's it. They're fun, tiny & nice to look at! They'll be an aesthetically VERY valuable part of your small apartment living room & they'll somewhat structure your space as well!
But what's FAR more important than that is that they let you squeeze as much storage space out of your apartment as you can!
My storage ottoman was actually a real game-changer for me, because I could not fit into my TV stand AT ALL. However, with the help of a cute storage pouf, I was able to provide a tiny bit more space for myself & hide all that clutter!
08. A Bookcase Can Come in Handy Too!
Bookcases are always useful, so I highly suggest that you get one for your small space living room as well! They're really one of the most versatile small apartment living room furniture out there, you just don't know it yet!
Apart from the fact that bookshelves are storage solutions, they can also act as focal points -if done right!
If you ask me, there's nothing more stunning for a small space living room than a tall, metal bookcase. The slim structure makes the bookcase less bothering for the eyes, especially in smaller apartments.
However, most of the aesthetics come from YOU! You'll need to use decorative vases, bowls, decorative books & potted plants to make the bookcase look GOOD & beautify the clutter you store in boxes or baskets.
09. Set Up a Home Office, But Make It Space-Saving
If you NEED a home office in your small apartment, fear not! Because I'll show you a tried & true solution of mine, that is guaranteed to work for YOU as well!
And what else could this solution be if not a wall-mounted folding desk?! It's one of the few small apartment living room furniture I SWEAR by!
It lets you go vertical & saves you TONS of precious floor space! You can also disguise it as a simple floating cabinet, so it's gonna look REEEAALLY nice!! And as you can see, there's just enough storage space for your books & notebooks.
So there's not a reason as to why you don't already have one!
