5 key considerations for choosing perfect apartment furniture
Apartment furniture needs to expand and adapt with you, wherever your lifestyle takes you.
When your living spaces are smaller, or transform year after year, selecting furniture to take on the journey can be a challenge. Choosing furniture that adapts with you is possible if you know what to look for. Here are the key considerations to keep in mind when you invest in new pieces.
Favour flexible form and multipurpose
Furniture with the ability to adapt, blend into a space, and fulfill multiple purposes offers the versatility apartment living requires. Stylist, designer and podcaster Jono Fleming is well known for his knack for styling small spaces and understands the challenges that come with it.
“With apartment living, you’ve got a set layout where things are supposed to go,” he explains. “If they’ve designed the apartment for a dining table or TV to go in a certain space, you need to find pieces that fit those spaces perfectly.”
Without the flexibility to rearrange your furniture as easily as you can in a house, you will need to look for items that optimise space, and even better, are modifiable.
Flexible furniture for a flexible lifestyle is part of the KING vision. Life happens, people move to new apartments, upsize, or downsize and lifestyles evolve. And KING furniture will evolve with you.
Neo’s streamlined platform supports deep seats that can be reconfigured to suit your space.
The sofa is your living room anchor point
Your sofa is the centrepiece of your living space. It is important that your sofa fits well in your space and offers the versatility of a flexible form.
With sleek lines and an urban simplicity, Neo encapsulates the kind of flexibility that compliments apartment living. The award-winning modular design offers backs and arms that reposition easily, are available in three different heights, and even recline with the addition of optional deluxe motion technology.

Timeless design goes the distance
While this is not unique to apartment living, honoring understated beauty and timeless design can provide a basis for movement and adaptation to occur around it. Bringing furniture into your home that is balanced and simple means you can create depth and space that can transform the feel of smaller areas.
Considered design choices are the hallmark of quality and can create an entirely new flow in your living space. Evaluating the nuances of the designs you select for your apartment can reshape the room and optimise usability.
Jono suggests opting for curved edges to soften your space.
“It allows a bit more of a natural walkthrough in the space rather than having so many corners and rigid lines. Playing with shapes can really change the entire way a space feels.”
Removing clutter and ornamentation from furniture design makes way for bold artwork or unique accessories to come and go as your style changes. And your timeless furniture investment is left to breathe and move with you.
The same sentiment rings true with the colour palette you select.

Colour forms your base
Colours and textures evoke emotions. The shade and look of your furniture can create feelings of calm and serenity among the chaos of everyday life. Think of your furniture as a canvas base on which you will add layers. Jono believes in starting with a neutral base and bringing in colour and warmth.
“People go with black because they know it’s a safe colour,” he explains. “But then you need to be a little bolder with your styling and add some contrast and warmth in colour.”
From light to dark, neutral color palettes offer a versatile platform that effortlessly brings harmony to a room. Colours, shapes, and layers can come and go while your base remains a stable.

Bring flexibility into your bedroom
Flexible design that adapts to you does not need to end with your living space. Integrated space-saving storage and smart accessories offer the potential to streamline your bedroom furniture and create additional space.
Smart Tables create more space to move freely around the Neo bed
The Neo bed shows how you can make more space for sleep, eliminate clutter and hide cords with integrated smart accessories. Connecting to discreet Smart Pockets, the Lume Light features gesture control and light level memory, while Smart Tables, with optional wireless charging, are ideal for apartment bedrooms where space is at a premium.
The impeccably tailored bedhead is the perfect backrest for lounging or reading in bed. Rounded edges on the base are a thoughtful design choice, inviting you to move around the space with ease.
Your apartment is your sanctuary, and your furniture needs to reflect your aesthetic, integrate with your lifestyle, and offer uncompromised comfort. When you search for your investment pieces, the best thing to keep in mind is flexibility, adaptability, and universal appeal.
