In fact, a small apartment that is convenient and "warm" can become much more practical than a large house, serving every storage need in just a few square meters.

In this case, smart DIY solutions for saving space and storage are essential.

The positive thing is that the solutions available on the market are diverse, covering every need for storage and... space expansion!


Many times, the solutions can be so obvious that they go unnoticed, we have gathered below the 5 most practical, economical and creative ideas that will give you inspiration and a trigger to apply them for better management of your space.


5 Space Saving Ideas

Certainly, at some point, to a lesser or greater extent, most of us have faced the problem of managing space.

But if you implement a well-organized storage and space-saving system, then you will understand that there is a noticeable difference. Smart spaces in your home can be created economically and simply, simply by making the right choices in furniture-mechanisms that will adjust your space.


By taking a look at the following ideas, you will restructure your space and you will be able to enjoy it as it deserves!


1. Wall Bed (wardrobe beds)

Wardrobe beds or wall beds are the most ingenious solution to “eliminate” the space that your bed takes up!

If there is not enough space in your bedroom to have a single or double bed constantly on the floor, you can install the appropriate mechanism for a wardrobe bed that is placed on the wall and resembles, as its name suggests... a wardrobe!

Thus, aesthetics and practicality are combined in the best way. Depending on the needs of the room and your own preferences, you can choose a single or double wardrobe bed for horizontal or vertical placement.


2. Swing up table top fittings

The lifting mechanism or otherwise, the swing up table top is the ideal solution for creating tables that contribute to the smart saving of space and storage in your living room.

With the help of this mechanism, you can turn the normal coffee table into a fully functional piece of furniture that has storage space inside. Store books, remote controls or anything you don't want to be in a visible place inside it and find it easily and simply when you need it!

Also, the springs that are installed help to raise the table surface, making it easier to read, work or eat in this elevated position.


3. Folding shelf - wall table mechanism

When there is a need to save space in your home, you can be the most imaginative "Magician"! It is enough to have the right inspiration and perception to properly manage your space.

So, if you need a small dining room to eat with your family, but it "fills up" the space a lot and makes it look even smaller, then you just have to try a mechanism for converting a shelf into a split table.

During the day you can place cooking utensils or decorations on your stylish shelf, and in the evening a comfortable table will "open" where you can eat and enjoy special moments with your family!


4. Extension drawer-table slider 

If your kitchen is too small or doesn’t have enough space to fit a permanent table, there are solutions!

It is enough to install the appropriate table-drawer mechanism with a folding front and by opening your drawer, instead of finding the cutlery, a practical little table will appear that you can close whenever you want.


5. Folding wall-bed / desk mechanism

A wall bed, in addition to a practical bed as we saw above, can also be "transformed" into a comfortable office.

A versatile wall-bed-desk serves in the most ideal way for limited space, such as a children's room for example. The wall-bed-desk mechanism transforms versatile, folding wall beds into a wonderful desk that even has shelves for placing books or other items.


Space Saving Tips

Take advantage of the folding wall bed / desk mechanism which doesn’t take up space constantly, but can be used when needed
If you have a bicycle or are thinking of buying one but you are concerned about the lack of space in your apartment, there are various hooks that can be attached to the wall so that you don't lose valuable floor space.

To combine the unique aesthetic of your space and the practicality of storing various items, place small wooden shelves on the wall.
If there are stairs in your home, then you can certainly take advantage of the space under them to store clothes, shoes or electrical appliances.

A small and single space can be "divided" into rooms easily, with the help of dividing shelves, which can separate the bed from the rest of the space, while providing storage space for various items.
