Last year, I moved from a two-bedroom flat to a tiny 22 sqm studio – and in order to make it work, I had to get rid of some pieces of furniture as my new compact space simply wouldn’t be able to accommodate them. Below, I’ve rounded up the things I got rid of when I downsized – and the small space-friendly items I got instead to replace them with or at least help me live without them.
Full disclaimer – the two-bedroom flat had to accommodate two people, while I live by myself in my studio flat. So half of the stuff in my previous home wasn’t actually mine anyway. But I still had to downsize in order to make my studio look and feel bigger than it is, since it is very, very small. And to be honest, I don’t miss the things I got rid of.
