I’m so excited to share my top 15 designer tips for small spaces! I love coming up with creative and practical solutions for making the most out of small living spaces and have been looking forward to sharing all my very best tips and tricks for making a space look and feel bigger! I can’t wait to hear what you think about all the ideas, so please let me know in the comments what your favorite small space tip is!
Thanks! I'm getting ready to move my elderly neighbor to a studio apartment at assisted living. He's an artist so he has his art that he wants to take, (and easel and art supplies) and I just texted him the idea and photo of the vertical photos/art. And he loved it. We've been thinking of a murphy bed, so we like that idea. He has about 315 square feet ! So I needed this video. lol He's got a good eye for design, he decorated his one bedroom apartment pretty well. This should be fun.
Thanks for the great ideas. My husband and I purchased a 2-bedroom house that is just over 1600 square feet. The house is well-built and the property is beautiful, but we want affordable ways to add more space. We are adding a Murphy bed this spring to our walk-in basement family room to ensure that we have enough space for when our married daughter and our 3 grandchildren visit. We also have a small shed on the property that we will be making into another 3rd bedroom, remodeling it with a tiny bathroom. Your ideas, as usual are very helpful and, in our case, timely. Thanks again for your hard work!
At last, something real that we can incorporate in a condo of 1,200 foot square. Most of the population does not own a big house like your family. This is more practical for most of the population. I love your videos and you have real good taste! From Quebec, Canada. ❤❤❤
Thank you for the wonderful design tips! Your home is beautiful!!! Can't wait to see your cottage! Would you mind telling me where you purchased your beautiful sofa? Or where I could get one like it.
Loved this video. Excellent ideas. Have seen a lot of similar videos but have seen none with so many tips. Love all the beautiful examples as always xx
Good morning, Ashley! Thank you for sharing your inspirations for small spaces. I'm actually designing our small one-bedroom apartment and will definitely be including some of these great tips! Stay well!
Omgggg! Thank you soooo much for this video. I really needed help with this since my house is small with low ceilings. I would love more videos like this. Thank you for this amazing content. ❤
Wow this was amazing! I am so grateful for you knowledge on interior design! can I ask what or where would I look for the benched that went around the wall for a kitchen?
In my cottage, I’m in the process of painting my tiny bathroom. Now, I have a better idea for the paint scheme. I’m color drenching it in Behr’s Le Luxe. I’ve done it partially, but I didn’t finish and I was pondering where to stop, or how much. All of it. Although, I’m still questioning whether or not to do the ceiling, or just leave it white? 🤷🏻♀️ It’s a dark color, and I’m afraid to make it too cavernous. But I also think it would look really good all one color.
It only has one small window in the shower stall/tub area, so not a lot of natural light. Everything else in the cottage except for the kitchen, is dark themed. Antique Tin in the main spaces, Black Sapphire and Tanzanite in the bedroom next door, and all the ceilings are painted in the darker colors. Because of this, I’m leaning towards doing the ceiling. But I’m honestly torn on this. I’m doing the painting myself and it’s a lot of work. However, I feel it will look bigger, even if it’s darker overall, if I do it. The fixtures and tub surround are all white, too. So, there’s going to be some contrast. I can’t get away from that. In your example of the pink room, the ceiling was done and the furniture stood out nicely against the color.
I was surprised that a round table makes more space. I'm taking the leaf out of my dining room table to make it round. Should the rug be round or would a rectangle rug work? Thanks for all your amazing tips ❤
I feel like you chose pictures of tall ceilings and extra long windows. Each picture has architectural features or extra molding or differently shaped windows. You should have used the average small home with some of your tips so we could actually see what you mean on "normal" homes.
@mementomori1022 nope, not true. If you can't visualize it because there aren't "normal" examples, why make the video? Truth is, a large majority of people live in cookie cutter 8 ft ceiling, cheap looking window homes and apartments. Why wouldn't you use that as examples?

Wow this was amazing! I am so grateful for you knowledge on interior design! can I ask what or where would I look for the benched that went around the wall for a kitchen?
Excellent Tips!
Love the idea of having a round dinning table for the flow of passage ..cause my apartment is only 750 sq.ft
It will help so much! Thanks for watching!
Clear the clutter should be No. 1 😂
I love your lamps! Where did you purchase them?

I’d do a light tint on ceiling (same color family) if you don’t want crisp white.
I was surprised that a round table makes more space. I'm taking the leaf out of my dining room table to make it round. Should the rug be round or would a rectangle rug work? Thanks for all your amazing tips ❤
I have a rectangle rug under a round table and it works totally fine, especially if it fits the overall shape/dimensions of the space best!
@@ashleychilders thank you for answering my question so quickly. When we have guests than the table with a leaf is rectangular.
Do you have tips for large spaces? We have 14-17 ft walls and I’m struggling with how to design those spaces
❤❤❤

@mementomori1022 lol, it's gonna be OK. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Deep breath in, deep breath out. You got this!
🤍
you lost me at 1200sq ft! In the UK the average family home is around 950 to 1200 ft
1200 sq ft might seem small space to you but not someone else. Patronizing much?
Can’t wait for cottage renovation journey!
I’m so excited about it!! 🥰🥰
