FOUR DESIGN IDEAS FOR A SMALL HOME

May 15, 2013
  • Share
Idea #1  – Incorporate a sectional sofa instead of a sofa and separate chairs n a living room…this cuts down on the visual clutter but provides extra seating. (above)

I like this little 700 square foot bungalow.  Such a great use of square footage.  Good ideas for those of us who live in a small space!

Idea #2 – Never get rid of built ins – refurbish existing built in cabinets or build new ones…they are great space savers  for storage and can look good too! (above)
small home office floating shelves storage boxes light taupe tan walls desk chair modern design decor
Idea #3 – Add in floating wall shelves – floating shelves are great for storage as shown here in this small home office (above)
small kitchen white cabinets red door accent wall black floor counters interior design wall wine rack cococozy
Idea #4 – Don’t be afraid to use color  – This color blocked small kitchen with black floor and counters, white cabinets and red accent wall and door actually make this tiny space quite cheerful! (above)

What do you think of these tips?  Any you might use in one of your smaller rooms?  Any ideas you can share?

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  I’m still working on that COCOCOZY partnership announcement I mentioned. So excited to share with you my latest collaboration.

P.P.S.  Last night, TE and I went to a party for Nylon Magazine.  There was a dinner in honor of the magazine’s Young Hollywood Edition.  Spent the evening chit chatting with lots of cute adorable young Hollywood types. Dinner was followed by a fantastic party at the Roosevelt Hotel.  Thanks to KA and TH for inviting us!  So much fun.

    These are great ideas, I love the living room. I have a small room in the back of the house and I want it to have an old classroom feel so I have been looking up school furniture. I hope it turns out the way I have it planned in my head. If that doesn’t work I’ll probably turn it into a sitting room. Thanks for sharing Coco.

    The sectional sofa is a very good idea. It looks cozy, but is spacious at the same time. Architect Tampa

    Great use of space all around. Particularly love the long, skinny bench under the window in the living room. And built-ins are always an automatic yes for me!
