Are you living with a tiny kitchen? And thinking that means no space to actually eat in your kitchen? Think again! Here are a handful of ideas and products that might just make an eat-in kitchen possible for you. 1. If you are short on space, get creative on where a table and chairs might go. Why not consider creating a window seat as in the kitchen shown above, from Studio Oink via The Style Files… 2. …or quite literally making one out of a window and a couple of seats… 3.

“Less is more” is a time-honored design mantra, and anyone who’s ever staged a house for the market can tell you that having less furniture in a space will make it feel much bigger. But this can be easy to forget when you’re living in a small apartment.

“That hallway is a dream for a small dog that loves to play fetch,” said one commenter.

At the edge of the charming Dutch town of Utrecht, nestled between traditional 20th-century homes and a highway overpass, lies a house that’s all planes, lines and pops of primary color. Built in the 1920s by architect Gerrit Rietveld in collaboration with his partner (in both love and design) Truus Schröder-Schräder, the building does for architecture what Mondrian did for art: It pares it down to form and color.

It's maybe even better than filling them with art!

And you probably already have a few in your home!

It’s taking up space and ruining your tools.

Not harder — I promise!

This idea is perfect for small-space dwellers.

Lofting your bed is one of our favorite design ideas for a small bedroom or even a studio apartment. Doing so reduces the amount of space your bed takes up, provides additional living or working space underneath the bed, and introduces lots of storage (in some cases). Lofting a bed could mean finally getting that chic home office setup you’ve been dreaming of or adding a sleeper sofa for weekend guests.

Your room will be filled with light in no time (when you want it to be).

You’ll wish you thought of this sooner, and it won’t cost you much floor space either.

Not just for toddlers.

Starting at just $87!

It's the key quick weeknight dinners, too.

Without it feeling cramped!

If your bedroom feels as cramped as the economy section of an airplane, then here’s a first-class solution that just might help.

You only think you don't have room for a nightstand.

No coasters required!

There’s small and then there is narrow. A narrow bedroom can be difficult to work with as this space traditionally calls for multiple pieces of furniture, such as nightstands on both sides of a bed and a dresser or armoire that may be difficult to squeeze in comfortably. This shape of room can also be difficult to work with design-wise as extra-long walls on two sides can feel endless and may lack visual interest.

Washing machine included.

They're easy and affordable!

Because everyone deserves a soaking tub.
