Trending on Remodelista: 5 Small-Space Design Ideas to Steal

June 15, 2018

Small spaces can feel spacious with a few clever design ideas. This week the Remodelista investigated visual tricks to “move” walls, discovered simple furniture silhouettes, and found corner sinks to fit a tiny bath. See their favorite five small-space design ideas to steal:

Dried Flowers

“A magic thing about New York is the way that, every now and then, you stumble upon a little jewel box—a room, a restaurant—on a side street, behind an innocuous storefront, where you least expect it,” writes Annie. Inside she finds a fresh way to use dried flowers and nine other design ideas to steal from New York’s Newest, Tiniest Jewelbox Restaurant.

Simple Wood Furniture

Above: Says Meredith: the Mysa Bed has a low profile and a midcentury-modern feel and is made of solid white oak with acacia and pine slats. It’s available in full, queen, and king, ranging in price from $780 to $980.

For flat-packed furniture that’s “clean-lined, some midcentury-inspired, and each piece takes less than 15 minutes to assemble at home,” see this week’s Furniture post.

Wainscoting

Wainscoting can add character and depth to a room and mimic the look of paneling (without the panels). See more at Urban Sanctuary: The Margot House in Barcelona.

Corner Sinks

The vintage-inspired Duravit \1930 Handrinse Basin Corner is \$334 at Supply.

“When remodeling an extra-small bathroom—say a guest bath or under-stairs powder room—sometimes all you have is a corner to work with,” writes Alexa. See a roundup of our favorite corner sinks in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.

Leather Trays

Above: A Change Is Good Tray is handmade in Los Angeles of vegetable-tanned leather that’s molded, stitched, and branded by Billykirk for Ace Hotel; $35.

Corral spare coins, keys, rubber bands, guitar picks, and other flotsam on a tray. Suddenly a mess is transformed into a vignette.
