As someone who’s been obsessed with interior design, I’d say that when furnishing a small home, think ‘vertical and convertible’. Seek out items that make use of vertical space, like tall, narrow bookshelves that draw the eye upwards and make ceilings appear higher. Convertible furniture is also key – think Murphy beds, foldable desks, and expandable dining tables. These pieces allow you to adapt your space based on current needs without permanent sacrifice of floor space.
