Having a small home doesn’t mean you can’t live “large.” For good spatial designers, a limited footprint is just another problem to solve; in fact, the most creative designs often emerge from inconvenient constraints. To help you maximise your small abode, we’ve compiled our best space-saving ideas, expert tips and savvy product recommendations, so you can truly make the most of that snug square footage.
FURNITURE
Small spaces call for fewer furniture items, so the secret to making it work is a smart and rigorous selection. In other words: choose your furniture wisely.
MODULAR FURNISHINGS
Modular furniture is a great option for small spaces because it’s designed to be versatile and adaptable. It can easily be reconfigured to suit your changing needs. We particularly like the modular pieces from King Living, such as the Delta and Zaza sofas and the Vertio Wall System. The Delta sofa has a compact silhouette and a light base, while the Zaza sofa comes with adjustable arms and the Vertio Wall System is the ultimate customisable storage unit for flexible living.
