Maximizing space in a smaller home requires strategic planning. Start by making every inch count—eliminate hallways and add built-ins for efficient storage. Create intimate spaces for coziness, and borrow space from adjoining rooms. Integrating outdoor areas and using transparent elements can expand the feel of your home. Vary ceiling heights and scale for dynamic flow, and maximize décor by choosing functional yet stylish items. These techniques ensure even small homes feel spacious and well-utilized.
