You can make any small space modern, yet cozy by implementing some interesting design elements. Try utilizing every square inch for optimal livability, like transforming a hallway into your personal art gallery or investing in multi-purpose furniture to free up space. Add coziness by stacking colorful books in interesting ways or invest an apartment-sized sectional (complete with additional storage) to lounge on while reading or watching TV. The living room doubles as a dining area thanks to the adjustable coffee table that also folds out into a full-sized table. There are so many ingenious design elements in this space that you can use regardless of the size of your home. Most importantly, make sure you optimize wall space by making it interesting with art or by adding additional shelving. We have outlined some interesting points from the video below.

• Even in a small space you can transform “dead” areas, like hallways, into galleries to display artwork
• Update your countertops with contact paper to give your kitchen a new modern look
• Give yourself flexibility in your workspace by purchasing an adjustable desk that lets you sit or stand
• Use multi-purpose desks for additional table space
• Incorporate old books into a room to create warmth in a room, and they provide a subtle pop of color
• Invest in an apartment-sized sectional that gives you space to lounge comfortably, comes with additional storage for blankets, unfolds into a queen-sized bed, and can be disassembled for additional seating
• Select multi-purpose furniture to give an area dual-purpose, like a coffee table that can be converted into a dining table
