15 Space-Saving Home Essentials I’m Buying for My Small Apartment — All Under $100 at Amazon

I feel grateful that I get to live in New York City, but it’s funny to be living in a one-bedroom apartment when my friends who live in the suburbs own full homes with large yards.

I just moved and have spent many evenings and lunch breaks scrolling through Amazon looking for space-saving furniture, closet shelves, nightstands, and other home decor that can double as storage to make my small space feel as roomy as possible. But these items aren’t just functional. It was also important to me that they all match my white and gold aesthetic. Some of them, like this ottoman with storage and this narrow console table, are sitting in my apartment as I write this, while others are on my wish list.

Since I end up moving every couple of years, I didn’t want to spend too much to redecorate. Below are the 15 standout items, including a white nightstand with USB ports and a white velvet chair with a sneaky storage compartment, which are all under $100.

Songmics Ottoman Storage Bench

This storage bench differs from others I’ve owned because it looks way more expensive than it is. It’s an ideal size to slip into a narrow hallway or at the foot of the bed. I’ve owned the white one for five years now, and I’ve used it to store everything from my shoes to extra towels and sheets. Right now, it’s holding my bag collection. 

One of the 17,500+ shoppers who have given it a five-star rating said they live in a smaller home, and that it’s “attractive, practical, sturdy, and priced right.” 

Furnulem Nightstand with Charging Station

This tall nightstand would be a great addition to my tiny bedroom, since it utilizes vertical space for storage. I want it in white, but it comes in four colors, too, all of which have two USB ports and two AC ports in the middle of the four drawers and one open shelf. I’m already fantasizing about all the skincare products I’ll get to pack into this one. 

One reviewer, who lives in “a tiny home,” said it was “so easy to put together,” adding that “it holds far more than I thought it would or even planned on.”

Zkjolmn Velvet Swivel Barrel Chair

There’s even furniture you might not suspect to have hidden compartments that can help you use your space to its fullest potential. What I love about this chair is that it looks so modern and luxe that I would never expect it to double as a storage solution. I can see myself putting this in my living room to tuck away blankets, or even in front of my vanity to hold extra makeup.

Save space in your home without compromising on a pretty aesthetic. Keep scrolling to shop for more bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen finds from Amazon for under $100.
