Living in a 300 sq. ft. New York apartment is no small challenge, but with some clever Amazon finds, I’ve transformed my tiny space into a cozy haven. The secret? Multifunctional furniture and smart storage solutions. Over-the-toilet storage cabinets are a game changer when space is tight, and stackable shelves help me make the most of every inch. Stylish ottomans that double as storage keep my essentials hidden yet accessible.
I didn’t stop at functionality, though. To make my space truly feel like me, I used peel-and-stick tiles to add a pop of personality to the bathroom. And with Phillips Hue lights, I can set the perfect cozy mood anytime I want. It’s not just about maximizing space—it’s about creating a home that’s both efficient and inviting. If you're dealing with limited square footage, these Amazon finds will help you get organized while keeping it chic and personal.
Top Amazon Finds for Maximizing Space in a Small Apartment
The moment I laid eyes on my tiny closet, I knew I needed extra shoe storage—let’s face it, there was no way everything would fit. That’s when I discovered this sleek shoe cabinet that not only hides away extra pairs but also elevates my entryway's style. With its multi-use design, it keeps my space organized and clutter-free, proving that small spaces can be both functional and oh-so-chic.
Why E! loves it: Features an elegant rattan design and comes in 10 colorways.
Rather than opting for a traditional coffee table, I chose this adorable handwoven pouf that adds a touch of charm to my living room. Not only is it versatile and easy to move around, but it also serves as a footrest. Plus, it acts as the perfect centerpiece while keeping the space feeling open and inviting.
Why E! loves it: Available in 20 colors and various sizes.
Transform your cozy apartment with mood lighting using Phillips Hue Smart LED bulbs. These little gems have truly changed my life—no more getting up to turn off the lights after forgetting! They’re definitely worth the investment, especially since overhead lighting is a big no-no in my home (IYKYK).
Why E! loves it: Creates the perfect mood lighting and features millions of colors and shades to choose from.
Short on space for a full-sized side table? No worries! This petite drink table offers just the right amount of surface area for your book, coffee cup, or favorite succulent, all while keeping your space looking stylish and organized.
Why E! loves it: Ideal space-saving design with a stunning, textured finish.
Small decor pieces like this clear book flower vase are essential for enhancing your home aesthetic and creating those cozy vibes—because no space is complete without a fresh bouquet! Plus, it can also double as a stylish bookend, making it both functional and chic.
Why E! loves it: A trendy home decor pick that's just as gorgeous as it is practical.
This under-cabinet paper towel holder comes with screws for easy installation, but if you're renting and prefer not to drill, it also attaches with adhesive (like I did). It’s truly a no-brainer purchase. After three years in my apartment, it’s still holding strong and looking great!
Why E! loves it: Affordable, easy to install, and doesn't rip the paint off your walls when removing.
Extra shelving that fits neatly inside a cabinet is a must for small-space living, and this affordable Amazon find has been a game changer for keeping my homeware (and endless collection of cute mugs) perfectly organized.
Why E! loves it: Has a sleek design and can be hidden away or displayed to your desire.
These minimalist hooks, made from heavy-duty wood and able to hold up to 35 lbs each, are just what you need for small apartments. They’re a stylish way to hang your jackets and take up almost no space on your walls.
Why E! loves it: Has over 2K five-star ratings and features an elegant minimalist design.
With a very small New York apartment comes an even smaller bathroom, and this over-the-toilet storage cabinet saved me from having to cut down my 10-step skincare routine due to cabinet space. Not only does it have a gorgeous design, it's also a great way to store extra towels and beauty essentials.
Why E! loves it: Made from high-quality natural oak and features an adjustable shelf.
To add a pop of color to my bathroom I stuck these tiles around my mirror to create an illusion of a bigger space. I recommend choosing two colors and alternating between them for a fun, eye-catching design that instantly brightens up the room.
Why E! loves it: Chic glossy finishing and very easy to install.
Forget the TV console—I went with a dresser instead. It maintains a polished look in the living room while providing much-needed extra clothing storage, a total lifesaver when your bedroom is short on space.
Why E! loves it: Available in three wooden finishes and offers different drawer designs.
