Looking for more small-space solutions? Check out our Big Shopping Guide for Small-Space Living, which is packed with our favorite furniture, decor, hacks, and organizing and storage finds for maximizing every inch of every area of your home.

As someone who recently moved out of a three-bedroom apartment into a shoebox of a studio, I know the struggle of having to ditch your old furniture and find alternatives. Some pieces simply didn’t fit. Others, I decided, weren’t making the best use of my tiny space, so they had to be swapped with more efficient ones. Otherwise, there’s no way all of my clothes and belongings would all have a place to go. My apartment would look seriously chaotic if I hadn’t purchased my new small-space-friendly furniture and storage solutions.

I also know how pricey such an undertaking can become. To help you save as much as possible, I’ve found several Walmart items that’ll transform your tiny space and that are going for way less than usual. The retailer’s latest Flash Deals event includes major savings. It ends on Friday though, so grab the picks below before it’s too late!

Even if you don’t have much room, one piece of furniture you can’t go without is a desk, especially if you work from home. This one isn’t too wide or bulky with its 31" x 20" frame. Most importantly, that $33 price tag is hard to beat!

Once you have your small-space-friendly desk, you need an office chair to round out your setup. This cross-legged chair might look familiar if you’re on TikTok — they started going viral last year, and it totally makes sense considering how comfortable the style is.

Going vertical with your furniture, rather than horizontal, is key in compact spaces. This pink dresser is just under 18 inches wide, so it can fit in that random gap you aren’t sure what to do with. You can even use it in place of a nightstand for more storage!

This mirror looks just like a $1,000 Pottery Barn one. That’s already enough to sell me, but it’s also owned by our commerce deputy editor, Alicia, who says it makes her apartment look so much bigger and brighter.

A bench is an essential for any entryway, but it should be double duty if you’re short on space. This one can hold nine pairs of shoes, and it can still support up to 300 pounds without wobbling. Extra seating and storage? Sign me up.

This loveseat is under six feet wide, but it delivers on style and comfort in a big way. It has over 170 five-star reviews, with one reading, “I ordered this for our basement and it looks amazing. The price and quality is outstanding. I am now in the process of ordering a second one. I ordered the beige color but it has a grayish tint to it which I absolutely love as it reflects the colors in my home.”

Under your bed is prime real estate for storage, and these containers will make sure that everything is accessible. Their 80-pound capacity can be used for linens and out of season clothes, and the wheels can rotate in a full circle.

Editor-loved brand Songmics has a $43 gem that’ll create so much extra storage in your bathroom — no drilling required. This shelving unit has an adaptable height, so it’s guaranteed to work anywhere. (It can come with you when you move!)

You should also place a storage bench at the foot of your bed. Not only will you get some much needed extra seating, but you can also load the 120-liter interior with everything from sweaters and coats to towels and blankets (or maybe all of the above).

Walmart
$82.99

Sixteen pairs of shoes can fit inside this slim entryway cabinet, keeping them out of sight and instantly decluttering the area. The rattan detailing on the outside gives it a natural, boho look, which is a definite bonus.

You can also opt for this four-in-one seating option if you really don’t have a lot of room to work with. Depending on your needs, it can serve as a small sofa, chaise lounge, sofa bed, or guest bed. “Compact, firm, tailored look - fits with any decor,” says a shopper. “Haven't slept on it but it is comfortable to sit on.”
