Studio Apartment Must-Haves
17
items saving and maximizing space is a must for living in a small apartment, here are my favorite products I actually have and love in my own apartment
This is genuinely the best thing I own. If you don’t have a dishwasher, a countertop dishwasher will be the best thing you can buy to improve your quality of life IMO. I had a party a few months after buying this and almost all of my guests walked in...
HAVA Countertop Dishwasher, 6 Programs Portable
This countertop extension is very attractive and can fit a larger appliance like a microwave or countertop dishwasher if you’re me. It’s very nice having extra storage and hooks for my small kitchen. Don’t expect to put anything particularly heavy ab...
Yaheetech Rolling Kitchen Island w/ Cabinet
A 0.7 cu. ft. 700 watt microwave is absolutely all I need living in a studio. Doesn’t take up much room at all on my countertop and cooks the food just as easy as an 1000 watt.
GE® 0.7 Cu. Ft. Capacity Countertop Microwave Oven
This skinny toaster saves a ton of space on the countertop and can be easily stowed away (and it’s aesthetically pleasing, coming in a few different colors!)
Slim Toaster
The 4 quart Hamilton Beach stand mixers are very compact for storage and work great. Perfect for studio living and lots of color choices to match your aesthetic (mine is pink!)
Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer, 4 Quarts
VERY strong magnets than can hold a bottle of olive oil, as well as spices or jars. I keep my most reached for spices in these right on the side of the fridge.
SETBAOO 2 Pack Magnetic Spice Rack Black
This is the couch that I have, it was the cheapest and most functional option for a pullout couch I found (I don’t even make commission off this link but I want y’all to have the cheap, functional pullout as well!). Love that it has cup holders and s...
Throwback Avocado 67'' Pop-Up Sleeper Loveseat
If you live in an old apartment like mine and have limited outlets, these double extension cords that can go 2 different directions are a lifesaver!
DEWENWILS 12ft Twin Extension Cord Indoor
I needed a table to go in between my wall and my couch, so this was great because the storage drawers are front facing. Also, love the convenience of the charging ports. The rainbow lights are a fun bonus.
End Table with Charging Station & 2 Drawers
These are great for making levels in cabinets, they allow me to have my plates, bowls, and glasses all in one cabinet. They are also helpful for canned goods organization.
SONGMICS Cabinet Organizer Shelf, Set of 2
These are very cute and serve 3 purposes - storage, footstool, and extra table. I love that I can flip the lid over and put down a glass or a plate if need be. I like to store my extra bedding in these.
Boucle Round Ottoman with Storage Set of 2
I love to read while in bed but didn’t have room for a lamp next to my bed. Instead, I put up these touch controlled wall sconces and they’re great.
LED Wall Sconce, Rechargeable Battery Lamp
I bought these because they fit in my countertop dishwasher, but they’re great to bake/roast a single serving of vegetables/meat/etc. in the oven if you’re only cooking for one.
GoodCook Set of 2 Nonstick Steel Toaster Oven Pans 9x6.2"
This electric kettle takes up almost no counter space and is plenty big for at least 2 glasses of tea!
0.5L Portable Electric Kettle Stainless Steel
I’m a hypocrite considering I have 5 bookshelves shoved in my apartment but a kindle will save you so much space with ebooks over physical books. I love the Kindle Paperwhite. If you’re interested in my book recommendations, check out the rest of my ...
Kindle Colorsoft, Scribe, Paperwhite & More
If you’re looking for a space separator, I use these cube bookcases from Target to separate my living area from my bed and get compliments on it all the time. They are filled to the brim with books and have yet to wobble or warp.
11" 12 Cube Book Shelf White - Brightroom™
I only had 8 inches of clearance between my toilet and my wall and this fit perfectly! The amount of shelves you put in it is customizable so you can have the amount/size of shelves that works for you. I keep my hand and face towels, beauty products,...
