Our Big List of Retailers With the Best Small-Space Collections
When you’re working with a small space, shopping for furniture, storage solutions, and even decor can be a challenge, especially if you’re hoping for high-quality items that will last. Luckily, you’re an Apartment Therapy reader, and small-space solutions are totally our bag — in fact, we’ve even created The Big Shopping Guide for Small-Space Living, a collection page featuring some of our favorite finds and hacks to help you maximize every inch of your home.
As it turns out, some of our favorite online retailers are “small-minded” too! Shops like West Elm, Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, and Walmart offer curated collections of furniture and home goods for the apartment dwellers among us. Shopping these collections is, personally, one of my favorite things to do in my off time, so I’m beyond excited to share them with you all. Whether you’re on the market for a sofa that actually fits or in need of a laundry hamper that doesn’t take up much floor space, these online shops have what you need… and lots you’ll just want.
From slender bookshelves to beautiful lidded storage bins fit to display, West Elm’s Small Space Solutions Collection has everything you could need for your apartment or tiny home. Outdoor and indoor goods serve a variety of climates and locations, so no matter where you’re based, West Elm has your tiny space covered. Literally. For example, consider the amount of space you’ll save by storing your clothes, linens, etc. in your bed frame versus a separate piece of furniture.
