Designers often rely on the basic fundamentals of designing when met with the challenges of decorating a home with limited space. Organization is key and so is maximizing the space allotted. Other useful tips for designing small spaces are as follows:

1. Use Mirrors to create depth.

The above kitchen used a  mirrored backsplash to create an illusion of space.

2. Make the most of the vertical space.

Bookcases and shelves are great ways to make use of underutilized wall space.

3. Custom Built-Ins

Customizing pieces that work with your space will help to eliminate waste. Take, for example, this built-in dresser, not only is it functional, but its also serves as a conversation piece.
