Hello everyone, I’m considering how to best adapt my Malm dressers since I have rather small rooms and the standard size simply takes up too much space. My question is: What options are there to modify or arrange Malm dressers in small rooms so that they remain functional but occupy less space? I’m thinking of changes like alterations, custom fitting, or clever placement. I’m interested in tips for do-it-yourself measures as well as recommendations for proven design approaches. Who has experience or ideas? Thanks in advance!

Who says MALM is the best choice for small spaces?

That’s certainly a point, but honestly: MALM is practical and affordable, which is why many use it. For small rooms, you can be clever: instead of large pieces, combine several smaller ones.

Also, I would suggest experimenting with casters. Mount MALM on casters, so you can easily move them around and use them, for example, as a side table or room divider. Movable furniture is often the key in small rooms. ?

I would like to add: If you don’t mind putting in some manual effort, you could actually convert the MALM chest of drawers to be multifunctional. For example, by adding fold-down boards that serve as a desk when lowered, or by modifying the chest to include cable management, turning it into a TV stand.

You can also add inserts inside to better organize the storage space. By doing this, you end up with a chest of drawers that offers more functionality without taking up extra space.

Small rooms often require creative solutions, but with a bit of patience, it works out great! 🙂
