A Place for Everything and Everything In its Place

Small spaces can be a pain to furnish, as so much furniture is made for the average house and not the average city dweller’s apartment. I can remember trying to cram a full size bed, a closet, a dresser, and a desk into the one-room apartment I occupied just out of college. There were no built in storage fixtures, so the closet and the dresser were non-negotiable. As I was working part-time from home, the desk was also necessary. Everything that didn’t fit into those pieces of furniture either lived on top (as was the case with the television) or under something else. It worked, but wasn’t at all nice to look at.

Tumidei in Italy could have saved me some organizational headaches — though not money — with their unique space-saving solutions for tiny bedrooms and apartments.

The company creates clean and modern furniture set ups that incorporate most or all of the furnishings one needs into a single unified whole, and the pieces can be fitted together in numerous ways, meaning you can customize your order to fit precisely into the space you have available. All in all, it’s an elegant solution to a problem many people face… if not a solution that’s exactly easy to implement.

    It makes me so sad that all of these “space saving designs” always seem to tend towards modern. Just because my home is on the wee side doesn’t mean I want it to look like a doctor’s office.

    That first picture reminds me of the boy’s bedroom from Home Improvement. Anyone remember that?

    Agreed – the beds have a very “exam table” look about them. I don’t think you could save that even by changing the bedding. Though I do like the desk platfom that fits over the stairs in the second picture.

    Wow, talk about space saving and storage optimization. I love the last pic, look like a mirror image on both sides.

    sterlingspider: Hmmm, good point. One wonders where all the tiny vintage furniture is. Antique shops, perhaps? The antique chairs I find always seem made for the tiniest of bottoms. And my massively old desk is as small as they come.

    KES: I do, I do. And you’re absolutely right.
