Furnishing a Small Design Apartment to Save Space – Our Top 4
Dieser Post ist von 28. Apr 2020 by Livarea.
Living space is not only scarce but also limited. Many tenants therefore wonder how to make the most of a small flat, studio apartment, or a child's room without compromising on essential storage. Functional wardrobe systems offer the perfect solution, providing ample storage through clever arrangement and combination, not just in the bedroom, but also in the hallway or children's room. Livarea presents four different options that can be individually configured and modularly adapted to suit narrow spaces or spacious bedrooms.
The Innovative Bench for the Hallway, Children's Room, or Bedroom
Do you have limited space and need a seating option for the bedroom? Do you want to offer your guests a bench in a narrow hallway while they wait? Should your children's friends have a place to sit in the children's room, but without sacrificing valuable storage space?
The Novamobili Gola wardrobe is the perfect solution for a small flat, as modular storage can be planned around its integrated bench. Its modules are individually configurable for both small and large rooms. The integrated bench niche offers an ideal spot for relaxation, while the modular furniture provides ample space for clothing.

The Gola concept can be realised as a bench in the hallway with a narrow wardrobe, or as a bench integrated into a spacious bedroom wardrobe. This traditional Italian manufacturer combines the design of this bench-wardrobe unit with LED lighting for the niche module and an additional storage shelf.
In this oasis of well-being, you'll love to curl up with your favourite magazine, lean back comfortably on the cushions, and thoughtfully gaze out of the bedroom window while enjoying a coffee. Allow your guests to wait comfortably on the bench with a cloakroom wardrobe before the whole family heads off to church or embarks on a shared car journey.
Whether you prefer a bench in the entrance hall or opt for a bench with ample storage in the bedroom, the surfaces are highly durable for everyday use, being scratch-resistant. This Novamobili cabinet with a seating niche is a prime example of Italian furniture design. You will find that a bench with storage space is both modern and practical, even in a narrow hallway.
The Television in the Bedroom
Are you considering a television in the bedroom but lack the space? Or perhaps you want to furnish your bedroom with more than just a large wardrobe, but worry a TV would compromise other plans? Do you desire a TV wall unit but find yourself having to forgo it in a studio flat due to space constraints, prioritising the sleeping area instead?
With the Novamobili Gola wardrobe with integrated TV compartment, you no longer need to worry. This wardrobe, featuring your desired TV compartment, can be individually adapted to your room size thanks to its modular system. Whether you wish to clad an entire bedroom wall or place the wardrobe in a narrow living room instead of a TV wall unit, the Gola wardrobe with TV can be flexibly configured to suit your specific living arrangements.

This practical bedroom wardrobe with a TV compartment for devices up to 50 inches ensures you no longer fall asleep on the sofa in the evening, but instead relax comfortably and cosily in bed. Alternatively, you can watch TV in the living room without a dedicated TV wall unit, while still having ample storage for snacks or glasses. The wardrobe with a TV offers even more functionality, as its panel swivels, providing access to a compartment for storing DVDs or Blu-Ray discs.

Enjoy these private moments with the Novamobili wardrobe featuring a TV recess in the bedroom or living room. Swivel the LCD TV to the perfect viewing angle, then start your favourite film with the remote control. Below the TV module, there's additional space for an open compartment with a shelf or drawers, ideal for storing TV guides.
You won't easily find a comparable design wardrobe with a TV element. That's why Novamobili's Gola bedroom wardrobe with a TV compartment is an excellent choice.
A Desk or Dressing Table in the Bedroom
Do you need a home office but lack the space? Or are you wondering how to integrate a dressing table into your bedroom? Do your children need a desk in their room, but you're concerned about losing valuable storage space?
With the Vico wardrobe from Novamobili, you elegantly solve these problems, as it's a wardrobe with an integrated desk. In a confined flat, you won't have to forgo a home office thanks to the desk within the wardrobe. Simply get up and get straight to work, as the desk with ample storage space awaits you.

The size of the bedroom or children's room is irrelevant. The Vico wardrobe with a desk can be individually adapted to the square footage of your room, thanks to its modular design. This makes an in-wardrobe office, offering storage possibilities even in the most confined spaces, effortlessly achievable.
As this furniture is produced to order in Italy, your purchase of this desk-wardrobe combination contributes to sustainability. The Vico desk with wardrobe is immediately ready for use, as the niche features helpful lighting. Simply place your watch in the left storage recess, open your laptop, and find any necessary files or books readily available in the drawer or open compartment.

The wardrobe can also serve as storage for additional folders or work materials, effectively providing you with an instant office cabinet.
As the lady of the house, you can comfortably and leisurely apply make-up and attend to your toilette at this desk with a wardrobe. Your children can immediately start their homework at this desk with storage space after school and lunch.
Novamobili's Vico wardrobe desk works for you on both a small and large scale.
The Small Cloakroom Wardrobe in the Hallway or Bedroom
Does your studio flat leave no room for a cloakroom wardrobe and a separate wardrobe in the sleeping area? Yet, you absolutely don't want to compromise on either due to storage needs? How, then, can you combine a cloakroom with a wardrobe?
The Novamobili Move wardrobe can answer these questions precisely. Its modular wardrobe system can be individually tailored to your room dimensions, whether you have a small or large flat. You can place the cloakroom wardrobe with a mirror either in the hallway or in the bedroom.

Everything is possible: a small cloakroom with ample storage in a narrow hallway, or a generous wardrobe cloakroom for an entire bedroom wall. If you lack space in the hallway, simply relocate the hallway cloakroom with its cabinet to the bedroom. Conversely, you can swiftly move the bedroom's function into the hallway, in the form of a narrow cloakroom with storage.
After getting dressed, you can immediately check your appearance in the mirror of your cloakroom with storage. Adjust your clothes and hair, then quickly slip into your shoes on your way to work.

Conversely, if you're returning from work and need to attend a club meeting, you can comfortably hang up your jacket or coat at your cloakroom wardrobe and change your clothes.

Hopefully, you've noted that a cloakroom wardrobe doesn't need to be large; cloakroom furniture like Novamobili's Move also functions perfectly in smaller spaces. Not everyone can boast such a beautiful cloakroom wardrobe.
