Sometimes you want people looking at our floor. What if you have a gorgeous Persian Malayer or a lush Savonnerie carpet. In a small living area they can really work well if they fill the room, say four to six inches away from the wall at most. I do think muted tones would work better definitely no raucous pattern or intense colors. Also your eye wear today is "fabuleuse" and perfect for your delightful face.

As a young family, we lived in a 790 sq. ft. house. Then the 5 of us moved to a 2 bedroom apartment (thankfully I had 3 girls who didn't mind sharing a room! And then to a 800 sq ft rental house. We incorporated a lot of the same ideas as you mentioned. Multiple tall bookcases screwed together as a divider, monochromatics, shelving above the bed and under the bed, and use of a daybed for my daughter's (and then daughters') room! It's amazing how these things really do make the space work!

Visual clutter makes a small space look claustrophobic. Closed door closets, cupboards, and furniture hide visual clutter the best. All the stuff on open shelving in a small space takes over visually, because the mess is literally right in your face. Storing even books on a closed door closet shelf helps "calm" down a small room visually. Lisa, I love that daybed, and also the barcarts on wheels used as side tables.

Books, in my view, look bad when they’re patchy all over the bookshelf-a few here, a few there, interrupted by collectible…crap. But with a wall of books, the different book colours and sizes somehow all blur together and read as one.

Great reminder about not having things over the bed in earthquake country. LOL. We needed the examples you showed of room dividers, as they all did little that would truncate the space while providing separation of areas by usage. And what a superb reminder, we all need, about drapes that hang from the ceiling in small spaces. It is so easy to forget that. Love the example of the petite entryway for a studio apartment that gets your attention, but does not stop the light coming around it. Mirrors behind shelving is an idea I had not thought of and I like it because it exposes the mirrors to less breakage chances.

Small space art on walls. A gallery wall with lots of small frames is too busy for a small space. Fewer, larger pieces are better. In a small rooms the walls really close in on you. So I now make sure family photos on the wall are on the smaller size. A neutral frame and the mat still can be on the larger size, but the actual photo should be on the smaller side. Otherwise the large photos seem to "take over the room". I learned this the hard way, and had to remat many too large family wall photos, for a smaller size photo. I was able to reuse the same neutral frames, and the original mat. Butt by adding a second small ermat, I was able to mat the smaller photo. The only cost was a small mat, but it took a lot of time to remat the photos. Lesson learned. Smaller photos in a larger frame and mat. But now the small room looks much larger and calmer.

DO get that sofa that is at least six feet on the inside, but with smaller arm width. You never know when you might need if for a bed, whether for a guest, or just to use it yourself. Greatest mistakes I have made were buying smaller sofa, and too many chairs.

May I add: float the furniture off-the -walls. Center the arrangement in to the middle of the room; it shows more areas where the floor and ceiling meet and thus makes the room look bigger and makes the setting appear more intimate. Folding screens anywhere create some intrigue to wonder what is beyond it. I recommend the IKEA Expedit 5x5 as the correct scale for a normal height ceiling. Dark wood floors and white (or light) walls make the room visually expansive. Area rugs are just dust collectors and define the room too much instead of letting shared rooms overlap their visual occupancy.

Brilliant guide to small space living! Excellent tips -mirror behind bookshelves! I will do that thanks to your guide. We have a small empty-nester cottage that we love, and I found that while storage is a key aspect there is also editing and curating as ongoing practice. That means that clothes in our small closet become a "capsule collection". Just the things you actually wear and use and everything not jammed together. In a drawer that holds only a few sweaters, I have made them both cashmere. Regarding Paint -Yes! color drench! different sheens, and the office/library is all in Farrow and ball Matchstick. The Bedroom is color drenched in Farrow and Ball French Grey (more of a sage green color). Thats rather dark, but I found that counterintuitively some small spaces can actually seems bigger in a dark color because the walls recede, especially if the ceiling is the same color as the walls. Artwork pops and it breaks up the dark color, too. Our gilt bamboo carved Mirror in Living room is opposite the flowering garden and nature -the mirror becomes like another window reflecting that view, and makes it seem bigger. LOVE how well thought out your videos are -you really give excellent advice.

I have a bar cart on wheels. The bottom holds some of my shelter mags and high tech stuff. My wfh office area has a small glass topped desk (white metal and glass) in front of a window with a La Marie chair. Together, the 2 transparent solutions really help clear the sight lines. I also always suggest a really good sofa bed in a studio rather than having both a bed and a couch. People always assume I have a bedroom and that it's behind either the bathroom door, the closet door, or the KALLAX room divider that sections off a small, lower height area! Nope. You're sitting on it.

I’m sure I’ve just added 4” to the height of the lounge room by painting the half drywall/half TnG walls/trim white. They were a yellow cream on top with golden oak orange stained TnG below. Love to be able to replace the faded dusty pink carpet that defines the lounge area and recolour the golden oak timber walkway on 2 sides, I’m sure that would make the space look larger. I’m going neutral.

Another fun, helpful video. But I'm of two minds on the *room divider screens* concept. On the one hand, I *love* most room divider screens. In fact, I've rarely met a room divider screen I didn't love---rattan, carved wood, contemporary...virtually the whole shebang. But(!) I'm hesitant about how they 'cut up' a room---particularly a small room. I get the need for visual separation in a small space, especially a 'studio' or 'bachelor' flat with bed, kitchen and living room all in one. But even in the good examples shown, they still seemed to arrest the eye at the point of the screen, making the space _seem_ smaller? I don't know. You can tell I'm not sold, even on my own hesitation. I must ponder this....

bed - put it as low to the floor as possible, then it just registers as low platform surface, also your experience of the room when in bed will be hthat the space is larger becuase you will be further from the ceiling. you can try this out by sitting on the floor and spend a few minutes to see how the size of the space registers for you.

.....Just an FYI...it is bad Feng Shui to have your Bed close to the floor, or sitting ON the floor ... low sitting beds are also uncomfortable to stand up from, and I think one would want to feel like an Adult, in thier bed...not a toddler or young child.

@ros8986 .....Yes, I'm aware , that is just a part of thier c u l t u r e ... it's a matter of what you choose to do. Personally,I don't like a low sitting bed. A futon on a frame is different, it does not rest on the floor. I've known Some people from Japan that actually prefer to sleep with their bed off the floor and they do have, like a room for napping, with the mats ( mattress)on the floor ....but other than that, they don't have thier mattress ( bed ) on the floor.

Most of the ideas are great except for the one about round tables. They tay take more room to seat more people.
@LisaHoltDesign Жыл бұрын
Round tables can have sheaves added and shrink down quite small. There’s also tulip tables and other oval shapes for narrow spaces. It’s not the shape but the selection of the piece that might be your issue. All best. ☺️

Do you mean cabinet doors? We have the same as India. We might just have a bit more space to have greater flexibility where it doesn’t all have to be storage. Some homes are also hundreds of years old. Very European influences for those homes.
