Trust us, you can make a small space work.
You've finally scored the apartment or home of your dreams, but there's just one tiny
caveat: It's a touch on the small side. Luckily, tiny homes can pack
just as much glamour and wow-factor as a spacious McMansion—it's just a
matter of getting the right design approach down. Even if you only have a
mere 300 square feet to your name, these space-saving tips will whip
your digs into tip-top shape.

Bulky
couches, coffee tables and chairs have a tendency to weigh a small
space down and make it feel cramped. Opt instead for leggy, streamlined
styles (mid-century modern options are particularly on point) that will
make your living room feel more spacious.

Pieces
that can pull double duty—like an innovative coffee table or an
old-world trunk—are key when you're short on space because they provide
extra storage to keep clutter at bay.

Free
up floor space by taking advantage of unused wall space and add a
mounted book shelf or a funky geometric unit to display books and unique
decorative accents. An added bonus? Mounted shelving draws the eye
upward, emphasizing ceiling height.

Form
and function—lucite, acrylic or plexiglass furnishings give you the
best of both worlds, infusing your room with a touch of glamour and
creating the illusion of more space.

Floating
window shelves do so much more than provide save space. These minimal
shelves offer a seriously chic way to display petite plantings and
provide a bit of extra privacy—which, in a big city, is always a good
thing.

Open
concept has its perks, but it can also make a small living space feel
even tinier, swallowed up by the rest of the room. Define your space
with luxe accents, like an eye-catching rug, unique lighting and luxe
textiles to make your living area feel like a distinct space.

Balance is everything. A calming color palette gives this small space
an airy feel, while plants and oversized artwork pack plenty of panache.

Tiny
spaces are conducive to big, clunky desks, but that doesn't mean you
have to deprive yourself of a work space. Wall-mounted options are a
savvy solution, providing you with a small work station without taking
up precious floor space. This is also a great option if you have an
awkward corner or nook that's too small for focal pieces.
