Well the thing with furniture is that it fills up your place quickly. As apartments get smaller (most countries are in a housing crisis) that pretty much stops people buying furniture they don't need.

I only ever buy furniture because I really have a need for it. Not because I think it's cool or anything.

That's great, but I assure you, a lot of people just throw out old furniture and buy new ones just because they feel like their old furniture is out of style.

Downsizing creates a market opening for cabinets, shelves, organizers and other things that let you utilize vertical space more efficiently.
