We just recently moved into a one bedroom apartment. For a one bedroom, its larger than most I think. At 720sf, its the only one we found (in our price range) that would hold our king size bed. Our bedroom furniture set is quite large and definitely not meant for apartment use. Besides the bed, there is a dresser (seen above), a chest of drawers and two night stands. Its very lovely I think and my husband likes that it was made with electronics in mind. The dresser seen above not only has the "see thru" top drawer for electronic components (dvr, blueray player), it also has a plugin strip inside that drawer and an ipod dock on the top surface. Since we didn't own a tv stand (previous tv was mounted on the wall and stayed with the house we sold) and the dresser will NOT fit in the apartment bedroom, we decided to use it as our tv stand.
Not only did the dvr fit nicely into the top drawer, but the second and third drawer are being used for dvd/blueray storage. We currently have over 400 movies, so they would not all fit. After looking on the internet and in local stores, we decided that the dvd storage bags from Lakeside Collection was the most frugal and would suit our needs.
As you can see they fit nicely under the bed. The dvd bags hold around 40 movies and there is also cd bags that hold 50. You get 2 bags in each set for less than $6.00 plus shipping.
Extra note, we were starting to buy duplicates every so often. After looking online for inventory software, we found an app for the iphone that lets you scan the barcode on the movie, book, game or music and keeps an inventory of it. There is also a wishlist and borrowed feature on it. It lets you assign different genre's and also assigns a dollar value. Its called Home Library. It only costs $1.99 and we have loved it so far. Now before we buy a movie, we pull out our phone and check to see if we already have it.
