Small Space Solutions for Every Room

Small Space Solutions for Every Room

Do your small spaces feel cramped and uncomfortable? Find simple solutions that you can use to maximize space and make your home inviting.

Scale—the visual size of objects in relation to one another—is key to a successful small room. But don't think everything has to be small-scale. Avoid oversize furniture, which can eat up floor space. Include a mix of small to medium-scale furniture pieces. And remember that scale is relative, so what looks like a small sofa on the showroom floor may be just the right size for your small living room. Always take room measurements when buying furniture.
