Reddit mentions: The best living room table sets

In all things storage, think "vertical" or "hidden"/"built-in" to save space.

• Get a bed and bedframe, and put rolling storage containers underneath for your clothes. It saves space AND likely doesn't cost as much as a dresser. Example.
  
• Use a hanging shoe organizer on the back of your door to store stuff. One idea: Use it to store your food more efficiently. Example.
  
• You need more lighting. It's much cheaper (and looks cooler) to hang up lights on the ceiling. Think of draping them in a zig-zag from one end of the room to the other. Cafe lights look awesome.
  
• You'll probably still need at least one extra lamp, though. Tripod lamps look great.
  
• Your bed will be the feature of your room for years; make it look good! Get a light grey or cream-colored duvet, two big white pillows (to sleep on), some decorative grey pillows, and one faux leather lumbar pillow in cognac, to put it in front of the grey pillows and tie it all together.
  
  • Go one step fancier and get a blanket to drape over the bed. Navy blue or emerald green would look good. (Bonus: You have a blanket to curl up with.)
    
• Get nesting tables. These can double as your coffee table, eating space, and extra table space when you have friends over, but will "nest" when the extra table space isn't needed, saving space.
  
• This rug (2115, in navy blue) would look great in the space, it's affordable, and the darker color will be more forgiving of heavy traffic.
  
• If you can only get one plant, either get pothos or monstera. Both make big statements.
  
  Obviously you need a desk and a chair, and probably some bookshelves, but these are the big things I thought of. Good luck!

As for me, this is on my list for a living room set. Kind of rustic, kind of cozy, kind of out of my price range at the moment. But that's why they call it a wish list.

Eames wire base low table. You can also buy a low quality knock off but for the price I'd really suggest going with the original. You can wait for the annual Herman Miller sale to get a discount on them too.
