When it comes to your first own bedroom or apartment, the focus is usually more on your lifestyle than a decorating style. As it should be! So roll up your sleeves and carry, pull, drag, roll and unpack your life. It might look like chaos at first, but it’s yours and it’s for real.

Friends + Extra chairs = True
You can’t have too many friends, especially when you’re moving and need some helping hands. Consequently, you can’t have too many extra chairs either, so make sure to become familiar with these two words: Stackable and foldable. With those in order, there’s really no limit to how many extra chairs you can fit into a tiny space. As long as everyone has somewhere to sit, any empty surface will serve as table and a cold slice of pizza will taste like a gourmet meal!

Lightweight, lightworked, lightpriced and heavily handy!
Yes, you need storage, here and now. VUKU takes care of all the hanging stuff, it clicks together like a tent, no tools required, and comes in a 2 kg-package. ÄLGANÄS clothes rack is almost as simple to assemble and secure to the wall. Remember to enjoy this rare occasion in life when a problem is this easy to solve!
Multifunction is the answer
Whenever you live in a small space, multifunction and other creative solutions are a must. There’s simply no room for conventional solutions. VIHALS day-bed with storage boxes underneath will be at your service 24-7, regardless of whether you want to hang out, organise things or sleep. A bedspread like PELARTUJA protects the sheets when the day-bed is used as sofa, and a few extra cushions make it extra comfortable both day and night.

Storage for things you don’t want to store away
Sometimes it is the odd little collectibles and personal favourites that set the mood in a room. They need somewhere to be, but don’t want to be stored away. The simple solution is open storage like IVAR shelving units. They can be placed high or low, as solitaires or combined, painted or plain, you set the style!
Let’s get serious
Even if life is a party, there will be moments when you need a desk to study, work, pay bills or just sort things out. MITTPLAN desk is a neat little version, yet with smart functions such as a textile bag in the back for all cords and a hook for headphones, bags etc. The proper office chair on wheels will happily roll along to wherever it’s needed. And that red colour will brighten up any day, even when you sit on it!

Hanging pictures without making holes in the wall is truly fine art!
Why make holes in the wall if you don’t have to? And why spend time looking for the proper tools if you don’t have to do that either? ALFTA self-adhesive hooks are super easy to both attach and remove, it takes less than a minute. So, the only question is which fine art will help boost your mood or express your personality on the walls?
