Clever apartment living room ideas on space saving
Space comes at a premium when you’re renting, and coming up with apartment living room ideas is a real challenge.
Choosing the right furniture makes the most out of apartment space. And there are plenty of other ways you can also spruce up your apartment. Finding space in unlikely places and innate ingenuity win the day with these space-saving ideas.

Floor space is limited in apartments, which means stacking upwards is the way to go. Shelf stands maximize storage for sundries, leaving more room for essential furniture. If you’re up to the task, you can also build DIY shelves.
2. Corner Shelves Save Space in Tight Quarters

Make good use of corners, with shelves that don’t get in the way of existing furniture. Floating shelves may be built over a couch or a corner table. This is also a solution if your apartment’s entry is flanked by corners. Book shelves can also be used for display or for storage, whatever suits your fancy.
3. A Swivel Cabinet Lets You Mix Things Up
