Who says that a smaller space can't work for the way we live today?

Now that we are spending so much time at home with our families, many of us are getting creative about using the space that we have. Sometimes that means smaller scale furniture, carving out a home office with a corner desk or opting for a recliner that doesn't need much space in the back.

Here are some good ideas for smaller scale living:

Pick the Right Furniture

By choosing furniture like a loveseat instead of a sofa or an L-shaped sectional that you can place against the wall you can save space and open up the room. Slender armless chairs and dainty slipper chairs add seating but don't use up much room. Keep in mind that multifunctional furniture like a storage ottoman or sleeper sofa can serve more than one purpose and eliminate the need for an extra piece.
