Does anyone know if you can buy 'small sized' furniture for a very tiny living room? See…?
...details for more info.
We just tried to put a sofa in the living room and it left a narrow path between the TV table and the sofa and 'shrunk' the room even more! We only have one wall available to put seating on which has a window in it also. The distance from the wall where the 'sofa' would have to go to the opposite wall is only 8'4" so I say NO sofa! I am thinking a couple of 'glider rockers' with footstools might work with a small table in between them. What are your suggestions?
The normal sized sofa's or love seats are too deep, Do you know if they make any thing for really really tiny rooms?
** We do plan on getting a flat screen TV to put on the wall where the TV is in front of now but even doing that it still won't give enough space for a sofa.
I need some suggestions as I am at a total loss on how to 'decorate' or even get something in here to sit on that is comfortable and yet not 'shrink' the room even more!
Thanks for any helpful suggestions, I am about to pull my hair out!

Yes, small size furniture does exist…. here are a few links but you can find more by doing a search on condo sized or appartment sized furniture

Well, I suppose this is a good and suitable place to ask… been a long time member of the community… don’t exactly live in a micro environment… but I’m planning on getting a relatively small car.. a hatchback.. (Honda Fit) while there is a relatively decent amount of cargo space in it, I’m used to a much larger van or station wagon that I have plenty of space to store and tote stuff in… might anybody have any suggestions for keeping one’s car well-organized and clean?
And if this post isn’t exactly clear, no I do not actually want to _live_ in the car. Although, I suppose if I needed to, I could easily lie down and sleep in it if I rearranged the seats.
It’s filled with photos of tiny apartments in Tokyo, some are neat and organized and others are messy, but they’ve all got character. Each apartment feature includes a few details about the owner and some of the pieces of furniture, etc.
The photos are from the early 90s… I wish Tsuzuki would made a volume 2.
Are there any similar books on the market? Photos of small living spaces that are really LIVED IN, rather than immaculate showcases?
revbri @ 2:32pm: This Old House: Manhattan Studio
I found this article on the This Old House website, and I wanted to share it with the community. The resident, Daniel Simmons, converted his Greenwich Village studio into a semi-one-bedroom (does that term even exist? lol) by dividing the room using a wrap-around bookcase. This article features several truly brilliant ideas. I’m always impressed by the way New Yorkers are able to do so much with such tiny spaces.Looking for a good deal on real-estate? Close to a big city and a foreign country. A Michigan artist group is trying to make life better in a suburb just NE of Detroit and less than 10 miles from the Canadian boarder.
Houses are practically being given away in what could become the rustbelt’s artist colony of the future. Homes vary in size but even the smallest are around 1000 sq foot. Big enough for 2 or 3 apartments by this blogs standard. It seems you don’t even have to worry about building codes as the city is currently unable or unwilling to enforce them, at least at the moment.
You could even try, as some are, to stay off the grid and be self sustaining. Using solar cells and wind turbines becoming what I call "Urban Amish". Maybe even grow your own food on an empty lot and make goods from recycled materials to sell to future art tourist. I’m trying to think of how I can make the move myself.

thatsevenbetter @ 3:03am: SOOOOOO
the girl who lived in my room before me had left her furnature, she was low on cash and wanted me to buy it. I was lower on cash and couldn’t… My friend gave me a desk and a dresser bc he’s moving out of the country but I’m still left w/o a bed.
My room is a decent size considering the apartment overall is pretty small, it has good light and I feel like it would be more welcoming as a hang out area and give me even more room if I had a Futon. Also, the boyfriend and I are planning on moving in together when our seperate leases are up in the spring so it would make more sense to get that so we have furnature we can use instead of 2 beds.
The problem is I’m pretty low on cash, but I still want something nice and am not really willing to look on craigs list because it would be nice to have something new to sleep on for the first time in about 8 years. The most I would be able to spend is 200 but i’m looking for something closer to 150. I know i’m not going to get any beautiful artful piece of brand new furniture for this price but I would like something fun/cool/trendy if at all possible. I’m wondering if you could point me anywhere other than the obvious kmart, target etc websites?

Sometimes you can overcome a small room by putting things at angles or floating them in the room (not up against a wall). What are the measurments of the room and where are the openings?
thhere are smaller sized sofas and chairs in ikea than normal shops, i had the same problem few yrs bck in my old flat and all my furniture, beds sofa etc came frm ikea bcause the measurments r alot smaller on some of the things that thy have
