No space? No problem. We wanted to share three ingenious ideas for giving tiny places a big impact. We know that this community is a trove of know-how when it comes to making the most of a small place, so hit the comments below to tell us your big tips for small homes.

 

Unify a space with matching colours

We love the way @_susanagreen_ has used wall decals in complementary colours to tie together this small corner study area.

 

 

Colour is your friend

Here @aroundour4walls and @louwithseaviews both prove the power of bold colour in small spaces. For @aroundout4walls, clever wooden accents (from wall to lampshade) draw the eye through this modest hallway, making it appear larger than it actually is *takes notes*. Meanwhile, Lou’s green and toffee palette makes this living room corner so cocooning.

 

Running out of room? There’s a wall for that.

 

Murphy beds and folding tables may not be new ideas, but there’s a reason they’re still so popular. Here, Kristina (a woodworker in Lithuania) has made space for a wall-mounted table where it catches the natural light – and used valuable wall space.

Wear your passion on your sleeve

 

Who says you shouldn’t apply your big, warm-hearted vision to even the smallest living area? There are no rules, as summed up by @towngirlcountrygirl, whose personality is stamped all over this home. Maximalism really can live anywhere.
