Here are some tips on what type of furniture should be used in small spaces:

  1. Make use of visually light-weight furniture i.e color of the furniture should be light. (you can use both wood furniture as well as glass furniture)
  2. Opt for multi-functional furniture.  
  3. Buy furniture that has internal space and drawers for storing things.
  4. Leggy furniture is a very good option.
  5. Match the color of your furniture with that of your walls. This makes the area look larger.
