Small Spaces

Small-space lists collect apartments, studios and compact rooms that make every metre count: layouts for a studio, furniture that does two jobs, storage that hides in plain sight, mirrors and lighting that open up a room, and renter-friendly updates. Many lists in the Rooms section also include small-room ideas; this one gathers the whole-apartment view. Each photo comes with a note on the trick — the scale, the colour, the placement — that makes the space feel bigger.
