But as you reach adulthood and start living on your own, you might find yourself opting for a small space before affording a spacious home as small spaces are usually cheaper to rent out.
If being organized is important to you, to live in a small space is actually a good opportunity for you to be creative with your organizing skills. Living in small spaces without compromising comfort is very possible, and the best way to attain it is to choose the furniture that would suit your needs.
Considering the size of furniture that you put in a small space is very important as they affect your movement and level of comfort. I personally live in a small space and this makes me learn some organization tips and storage ideas. I have compiled a list of purchases I made online that greatly helped me in organizing my stuff. Below are the top 10 smart purchases I made to help me live in a small space easily and comfortably.

I work from home, and I make sure that my working space is comfortable and functional. I use my laptop and given that I live in a small unit, even though a comfortable working station is my top most priority, I still consider the amount of space that my computer or laptop table would take. If your living conditions could afford you a bigger working station, I would suggest buying a bigger desk. As for me, this High Quality Modern Minimalist Computer Desk is what I just needed. I love its minimalist style and it serves its purpose well.
