Small Space Inspiration

As I said earlier this week, I recently completely changed the layout of my apartment. It made me realise just how hard you have to work to make the most of small spaces – every corner, ledge and inch has to count, and everything has to have its place. Here are some of the fab small spaces that inspired me when I was re-shuffling the furniture last weekend.

In the pic I above, I love that Eleonore isn’t afraid to play with colour in a small space. I’m a total magpie, and though I would adore a cool monochromatic space (like this one) I know my love of colour would start creeping in. See the rest of Eleonore’s colourful home here.

This is a fun way to brighten up an awkward corner, which, living with a mezzanine, I certainly have.

How gorgeous is the lighting in this? It frames everything so nicely. The rest of illustrator Katie Rodger’s place is equally inspiring, check it out.

I have tons of magazines, and can never figure out how best to store them. Simple stacking works well here in Tina’s home though, doesn’t it? I love the idea of curling up on the giant leather seat and getting stuck into them.
