Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or comfort. With thoughtful design choices, you can maximize your square footage. Start by selecting multi-functional furniture, such as a sofa bed or an ottoman with storage.

 

Consider vertical space—install shelves high on the walls and use tall bookcases to draw the eye upwards. Mirrors can also create the illusion of space, making a room feel larger and brighter.

 

When it comes to layout, keep traffic patterns in mind. Opt for a layout that encourages flow and openness. Use light colors on walls to make the room feel airy. Finally, personalize your space with decor that reflects your style, making it feel uniquely yours despite its size.
