A Comfy & Cozy Railroad Apartment

Name: Justine Location: Greenpoint — Brooklyn, New York Our apartment is a railroad style apartment. At first, this was difficult to decorate, as we had to decide on small living room or small bedroom. To us, a living room was more important.

DIY Furniture Knock-Offs That Really Knock It Out of the Park

This Tiny Swedish Apartment Has Everything You Could Want—in Under 500 Square Feet

Here at Apartment Therapy, we’re firm believers that good things come in small packages. Case in point: this top floor Swedish studio, which has pretty much everything you could want in just 480 square feet. Living on the top floor has its advantages: soaring ceilings and a row of skylights make this apartment seem positively palatial. The white floor and walls don’t hurt either, bouncing light all around the space.

From Ashley: We decided to completely gut a small one room cabin. It had quite a bit of water damage and was just completely outdated. We did all the projects ourselves and stuck to a small budget.

This apartment’s main room can serve, by turns, as an office, a living room, a bedroom, or a dining room with a table that seats six.
