Home Styling and Small Spaces

The most important part of a studio layout may be the space between the furniture. Plan daily routes, storage and competing uses before selecting the pieces.

Keeping a sound kitchen and floor can leave more room in the budget for meaningful improvements. Learn how to make existing finishes and new pieces work together.

A small balcony does not have to do everything. Choose its main purpose, test the furniture with people using it and plan for exposure and maintenance.

A room that feels wrong does not always need building work. Identify whether the problem calls for styling, staging, complete furnishing or renovation.
