Living in a small space has its challenges especially when it comes to making sure your home looks both stylish and uncluttered. Here are a few ideas on how to achieve both. 

Double up

What if you have a kitchen that doubles as a living room and a dining room? Maximize every square inch.

Multifunctional furniture 

Think double-duty. Invest in an ottoman that can work as a coffee table or extra seating. A trunk can be used as a coffee table as well as extra storage spot for extra blankets and pillows.

Hooks, peg boards, magnetic racks 

You can’t help but put things on display. Utilise the walls for keeping those frequently reached for items close.

Storage essentials 

In other words: go undercover. Investing in storage containers (bins, baskets, boxes) is a must. Just be sure to label things properly so you can find them easily.

Think console 

So you don’t have a table that can fit that dinner party of 12? Use your imagination. A thin console, which usually stands in your hallway, can be used for serving a buffet-style dinner.

Slim side tables (positioned against a wall) 

It’s important to consider scale. In other words: don’t waste space when not in use. Letting one side rest against a wall, will keep the surface from dominating the space.

Room dividers 

Think about screens or bookshelves to separate “rooms” and create the illusion of multiple spaces.

Colour 

Bring out the paintbrushes. Colour can add interest to your space while keeping things from feeling boring. And think beyond the walls: furniture (chests and chairs) in fresh shades can keep your style interesting.

Break the rules 

There are lots of rules that you can follow when it comes optimizing space. However, if they don’t feel right to you (you love Grandma’s oversized chair), then don’t obey them. Choose to make decorating decisions that will keep your space feeling like home. Your home. And yes, even if you’re living in a teeny-tiny space.
