Living in the city means constant stimulation — busy streets, noisy neighbours, and the never-ending bustle of the streets. City life can be invigorating, but it can also take a toll on your well-being. Your home should be your sanctuary, a place to escape the chaos and restore your sense of calm.

Transforming a small space into a peaceful retreat doesn't need to be all about square footage; it’s about being as smart as possible with the space you have available. With the right small home furniture, you can maximise comfort and serenity in even the tiniest of spaces.

Opt for multi-functional pieces that save space and declutter your home. Prioritise quality over quantity, and you'll find that less truly is more when it comes to creating a soothing environment. If you're unsure how to fill your space, this article will guide you through the key furniture options for cosy urban homes.

Living Room Furniture Options

Here are some furniture ideas you can use to create a calm, peaceful, and minimalist living room.

Storage Sofas

With storage sofas, you can quickly clear away toys, books, or even a full suitcase, making your living room feel more organised and spacious. Opting for a sofa with raised legs can further enhance this sense of space, as more of the floor remains visible, giving the illusion of a larger room.

Don’t be suckered into thinking bigger is better. Unless you host lavish guest parties, a two-seater will usually do the trick. A stylish two-seater with underneath storage works great for small households while also keeping your living space minimalist. Our storage sofas are custom-made for comfort and style, with options to include storage in the arms as shelves or additional hidden pockets.

Sofa Alternatives

Small spaces call for smart solutions, and sometimes, ditching the traditional sofa is the way to go. If square footage is tight, you can consider a lounge. Avid readers might prefer this option anyway. Loungers offer a comfy spot to curl up with a book and can double as a guest bed when needed. And for couples looking to cosy up, a cuddle seat is the ultimate love nest for movie marathons and heart-to-heart chats.

Little Home Office

Small apartments make it tough to find space for a home office, right? The Little Home Office is the answer to your work-from-home woes. This small home office furniture piece isn't just another desk; it's a clever solution that blends into your home when you're off the clock.

The fold-down desk in this small fitted home office furniture piece gives you a dedicated workspace only when you need it, so you can reclaim your living space after hours. But the home office doesn't stop there at Furl. We also offer the Tiny Home Office, the baby version of the Little Home.

Bellagio Table

When space is tight, and the sofa is the go-to spot, the Bellagio Table effortlessly transforms from a stylish coffee table to a full-height dining table. No more awkwardly balancing trays on your lap; this piece brings ease and comfort right to your living room.

What makes Bellagio stand out even more is its practicality. With built-in storage underneath, you can stash table mats, magazines, or books, while its clear glass feet create a spacious illusion. But this is just one example. We have many different options when it comes to clever tables for your small spaces, such as the cleverly designed mondial, a table which with its all-in-one design, offers a range of placement options.

Leather-Style Shelf

Make the most of your ceiling height and keep your floor space clear with ladder-style shelving. These versatile storage solutions are trending among savvy homeowners for organising and displaying everything from paperwork and keys to houseplants and prized possessions. They provide valuable shelf space without taking up much room, making them perfect for urban home furniture arrangements.

Bedroom Furniture Options

Studies show a cluttered bedroom can drain your energy and make it hard to relax. That's why choosing the right furniture is essential to create a space that embodies calm and helps you sleep. Here are some options to consider.

Storage Beds

If space is at a premium, a storage bed could be your best friend. These versatile beds provide an efficient way to maximise storage in any bedroom, whether it's compact or spacious. With a hollow base and sturdy metal frame, storage beds offer a convenient place for everything from bedding to out-of-season clothes. You won’t believe how much you can fit in them.

Storage beds come in various sizes and fabrics, from single to emperor, with options like different headboards and opening mechanisms — including side, end, and electric lifts. You can even order one naked from our store and pick your fabric later.

Mirror

Selecting the right mirror for your bedroom is both an art and a science. First, decide on the style that complements your space. Think about whether you want a touch of whimsy, a Mediterranean vibe, or perhaps something baroque. Keep in mind that less is more – two mirrors in a bedroom are usually a good starting point.

Lidded Ottoman

A storage bed frame is great for larger items, but when you have kids around, there's always a lot of stuff to store here and there. A smart lidded ottoman can be of great help. It doubles as a small-space coffee table or side table, all while storing extra blankets, toys, and other bits and bobs. The natural-looking designs can easily blend with your bedroom theme, maintaining a calm, clutter-free room.

Final Words

Living in the city doesn’t mean you need to compromise on comfort. Your home should be your sanctuary, even if it’s nestled in a bustling urban setting. By making smart furniture choices, you can transform even the smallest space into a peaceful retreat.
