I have a 1907 very small cottage. I embraced the vintage of the home for my decor. Furniture is so big these days, I had to scout around for a long time looking for small, vintage furniture finds. It took months, but I found pieces and then had them reupholstered in fabric that is not so vintage-y to bring them up-to-date, like wide wale corduroys and slubby linens. I also love the cozier moodier colors. I kept all the walls the same color (White Veil) and then chose darker drapes -- in velvets and dark florals. Love it! Thanks for letting me share, Lisa 😀
Sounds lush!
Yes! I chose a charming neighborhood with hundred year old houses and beautiful gardens. But people lived differently a hundred years ago, and it’s been a challenge to create a space that is both comfortable and true to the architecture and period. Thanks for sharing!
Great share thx.
I LOVED YOUR İDEAS , WORKS FOR ME VERY WELL. YOU KNOW REALLY WELL YOUR JOB.
MİLLİON THANKS. ❤
That sounds really lovely. ❤
I have two apartment sized sofas. They are not as long as regular sofas. I put them in an L-shape, so they mimic a sectional. I floated one sofa between the living room and dining room, so it acts as a divider between the open concept spaces. Then I put a sideboard on the back of the sofa, facing the dining room. It can hold a lot! The top of the sideboard can be used as a buffet, a bar, or just for decor. I found this arrangement to be very useful! 😊
That is what I'd do too. I love buffets and sofa tables.
That's a good point about seating w/legs as opposed to overstuffed upholstered seating to give a more open feel.
I love the black room divider that mimics a Louise Nevelson piece. Functional and an art statement al in one!
Yes! Love that piece.
Where do you get that black room divider
Lisa, you are THE BEST!!! Love your energy, fun spirit AND PRO PRO PRO Tips!!! THANK YOU!!
I learned about "the envelope" here on Lisa´s channel. It´s so good to have one word for floor, ceiling and walls and think about it as one concept. Great video.
The envelope is a word in making a sound on a synth too. It has to do with looking at the whole.
I have a small house and a dark hallway and I am all about the mirrors...I try to put them in places to reflect light from the nearest window❤
I found a cool mural wallpaper for my narrow entry hall. The mural is as though you're looking out paned windows to lots of plants. I think that looking-out aspect is going to make the space seem a lot bigger.
Love the black room divider!!!! Love, love,love!
The last place I was living was a bachelor suite. The back of the couch was against the foot of the bed (which I didn’t like) so I came up with the solution of putting 11“ deep shelves in between that had two different heights. Then I put my house plants on the shelves and it made a beautiful screen.
It was a double win because the window in my sleeping area was south facing so the plants also liked that spot. And I didn’t block the light from coming into the rest of the suite.
Such practical advice for small spaces. Measure measure measure! Then get the most practical furnishings for the rooms. Best of all was the editing job here Lisa. I have never seen anyone put the influencers video in the tv screen being shown in the video. Very clever!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Having lived in a studio in Manhattan for several years, I'm going to respectfully disagree w/you that you should get a loveseat. I recommend you go with a close to full size couch so you can lie down on it comfortably. It doesn't need to be 8' long, and it certainly doesn't need to be super deep, esp if you're in a long narrow studio, but if you plan on living in your studio for a year or longer, you are very likely going to need to lie down on that couch (or a visiting guest might need to do so).
I want you to think back to the pandemic for one moment, when you spent so much time in your studio, and you NEEDED a couch you could lie down on comfortably and you cannot lie down on a loveseat comfortably.
...but sure, if all you care about is aesthetics and not comfort or functionality get a love seat or be even more impractical and get a loveseat hide-a-bed which is miserably heavy to move and uncomfortable to sit on and sleep on, all at the same time.
Remember to ask your designer if they have lived in a studio for more than 1 year and how large it was, and how much closet storage it had. Designers are often far more concerned w/aesthetics and far less concerned about how effortlessly your space functions for YOU and your lifestyle.
Agree wholeheartedly with the verticle space used as storage and bistro table, especially a very tall bistro table which draws the eye up and keeps things narrow. Monochromatic is peaceful no matter what size your space is, too.
She makes excellent points about what *not* to do in California (because she has lived there a long time and knows how many earthquakes happen daily, even baby ones).
You are so right.👍🙂 6 foot length BETWEEN the arms, and if you only have a small space, some sofas have as narrow as 3" arms.5" arms are more comfortable if you have room. Good for laying down, either for yourself or a guest. A loveseat is a total waste of money, unless you already have at least one sofa.
But I just love watching Lisa. So full of positive energy!😊
@@ShelleybutyoucancallmeShellor couch with no arm on one end. And an ottoman.
@@agoogleuser4356 Hi, the only problem with that idea is that when you have company and want to use it as a proper couch, someone will be uncomfortable without having an arm to lean/rest on. Even having very narrow arms is better than no arms at all.
But yes- definitely get an ottoman! I use an ottoman constantly when not laying down on my sofa.
@@ShelleybutyoucancallmeShell what I was thinking is that a person can sleep on a couch that would be too short it it had no arm at one end and the ottoman could be moved there to effectively “lengthen the couch”. Otherwise you would need a 6’5” PLUS 2 arms lengths for a couch that could be just OK for a guest/friend.
Everything takes compromise and you have mentioned a disadvantage of the plan I described.
Let me think-up a couch-arm end-table. lol. Next time we meet I’ll make a drawing to show you an idea.
@@agoogleuser4356 🙂 I had to do a lot of thinking when I bought mine. Think up all different scenarios. Best case was people need to be comfortable, but everyone needs to make the decision that's right for them.👋
My couch is 6 feet inside, but the arms make it 82 inches total.
Great ideas and have used several in the 10x40 rv park model we call home. Mostly, I love our tiny house. But the one thing I hate is that the entry door opens right into the living room with no room to create any type of foyer. So what I did was paint the door to blend with the walls and mounted a curtain rod high on the door (which has a half glass window). Then, I got full-length semi-sheer curtains to hang on the door that match my curtains on the opposite wall. Not ideal, but it does help a lot to disguise the door, especially in the evening. Tricks the eye.
We have to work with what we’ve got, so that sounds like a good solution - you made the door “disappear”.
I have two mirrors in my small apartment and they are GREATT!!
Please design a 10x10 or 10x12 bedroom/office because a lot of people are dealing with that.
A real functioning office complete with filing cabinet, printers, etc!
Yeeesssssss!
I have a bedroom like that. Double bed. One entry door one closet door to far left on same wall, , one wide window centered on opposite wall, and the “natural = Fung shui” place to put the bed is the shared wall with the next-apartment’s bedroom.
Good luck.
Love the tip on keeping the carpet the same tone as the flooring when you have a small space.
Glad it was helpful!
Nesting tables! I have two different sets and they come in so handy when we have guests.
Ceiling, wall, and trim in the same color is interesting. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Good idea to keep same color (texturing different from baseboard, on walls)
Thank you for being one of the few creators that focus on solutions vs what we should be avoiding. Great content.
I appreciate that!
These tips can really be part of the solution for many concerns at home. Thank you, Lisa. ❤❤
Such great ideas. One thing I have been watching for you to address is curtain rods. When doing a long wall of windows, would it be a bad thing to paint the curtain rods the same color as the wall?
IMO, that's a great idea! However, Lisa would know best.
Lisa, your new glasses are amazing !!! 🤓
In my loft, I have a storage coffee table that lifts up for eating. Love it!
Yay! I love your small space videos!
I’ve downsized to a small 2x1 and I agree with the all white and I have bamboo floors in the main areas. However, I kept my 3 seater couch and I was so thankful when I was sick and I was so fed up with laying in bed but still needed to rest. I think the biggest thing that helps is getting rid of stuff you don’t need, instead of putting it in an ottoman 😆
An excellent video, Lisa. Thanks for posting. I think you have to be a tidy person living in a small space so regular decluttering & editing is a must.
Wow, this video is a must-watch for anyone living in a tight space! The advice on decluttering and creating visual flow is super helpful and I love how they demonstrate each tip with real-life examples. I'm feeling inspired to reorganize my space and make it feel bigger and more functional.
Glad you enjoyed it!
At 800 square feet, it's all small spaces, and 98 years ago storage was not a built-in consideration 😊thank you for for the inspiration ❤
Everything you say is gold Lisa!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!!
Thanks. 567 sq ft. I was gifted a fair-size couch so, it’s on a diagonal. Behind it is a lengthy console table, also on that diagonal. I use one half + dining chair for eating, and the other half + desk-friendly chair, as a desk. The corner TV is placed-you guessed it-on a DIAGONAL♥️, across from the couch. The coffee table is on its side, over at the wall. “In its place”, I sometimes use two same-but-different-height “bar chairs”. Storage is on the same wall, but the opposite side diagonal to the TV, inside my armoires. I have yet to figure out a rug because I so wanted room to do yoga🧘🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️. Cheers!
Glass blocks are very much in style now. Smoke glass is the most popular. Good option for a room divider. The most important for small places and actually for any places is storage. And storage should be enclosed. Build ins are the best and no open shelves, they created a visual noise.
Thanks Lisa!😊
Wow! This episode had some great video production! I liked your tips on how to treat your floors and going vertical w/ storage in small spaces.
❤ the loveseat tip vs. sofa
Your amazing- so exciting!
Love your ideas & how you explain the projects to do 😉🔥🤛🏻🇬🇧
So many great ideas here. Thanks!
Great tips ! Thanks Lisa 😊
We share an 800 sq ft cottage that can sleep 10 with one bathroom! Talk about a challenge! Combination of Murphy beds, bunk bed, trundle bed and sleeper sofa. The hardest part is seating when the weather is bad and everyone is inside. Vertical space is my friend for sure when it comes to storage. We are about to change out flooring throughout to luxury vinyl which should help with visual flow.
Thank you so much!
Great ideas and inspirations, thank you 💖
Really great information. Thanks so much. You're very enjoyable to listen to, and I like that you cut right to the helpful information and don't have long, annoying introduction material. Very nice.
You are so welcome!
I love the screen ideas!
I love my Pensacola Pink walls in my small living room but I'm hesitant to paint the ceiling the same color. But you've got me thinking about it now!
Thank you so much 💓
There are no links in the video! There is no main link either. Need the links!!!
Thank you thank you thank you
Most of your tips were vaguely and all mixed up nm my mind and you made everything clear ..
This is also so helpful to furnish an Airbnb 👌
Thank you Lisa ❤
Love the Louise Nevelson style entry partition! (In a light interior, the contrast introduces bold drama; add some dark touches to keep the eye moving over the space, however light, and be dynamic, not boring!)
Love your ideas
These tips are a game-changer! #SmallSpaceMagic 🌟🌟
My queen sized bed lifts up with gas struts for storage underneath. The bedroom is so small that drawers or containers can't be pulled out fully from any side. But because this frame lifts the top plus the mattress, clearance around the bed doesn't matter. Invaluable storage for bedding, blankets, towels, Christmas wrapping etc
Oh wow! I want to know more!! Did you have someone build this or can you buy such a thing? What are gas struts exactly? Thank you. 🙏
@@tnijoo5109 I bought it from a retailer. Cannot link anything in RUclips but search "gas lift bed frame" + your location. It's not super common but I'm sure you can get it, too.
Gas struts are pressurised springs that make it possible to safely lift the top + mattress.
The entry divider
Great
I love your videos! Can you make a video on how to set furniture in long and narrow kitchens? Hi from Italy ❤❤
excellent!
Hi Lisa, once again a fabulous small space masterclass, thank you💐 for me the furniture scale advice is key. Unfortunately Australia does not do small living well🇦🇺🐨🦘
Best tip for me was the rug.
Thank you. What great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
When color drenching the room, do you use matte for everything (walls, trim, ceiling, doors) or do you use the standard finishes (e.g.: eggshell=walls, semi-gloss=trim, matte/flat= ceiling)? I'm having a hard time getting a solid answer to this question ;/ Thank you! BTW-Love your energy! :)

This video is well done 👍🏻 love all these gr8t ideas 🤩 Thank you!
I use a lot of mirrors love them the best to open up the space!
LOVE LOVE LOVE what you do. How about very small space airbnb?? People coming and going! Thanks
Very usable info, appreciate it
Glad it was helpful!
You are good. Excellent advise.
Glad you think so!
Lisa, you’re so enjoyable 🛋️🪞
Great video-- so helpful to learn some basic concepts and then see specific ideas.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tips! Thanks, my friend! I’m fortunate to have a fairly large space now, but I may end up moving to pursue a Master’s and might not be able to afford something as large in my next city, so I’ll keep these tips in mind!
Love your enthusiastic personality and your design solutions. Thank you Lisa!
You are so welcome!
I can't see any links for products, nor a view products tab
great ideas!
Glad you think so!
❤ All sounds good, I feel like I’m on the right track. I did go through 3 dining tables 4 is a charm. I got the Mariedamm table and Yngvar chairs in black. Perfect for our space. The other option I loved was Room & Board they have a great selection of table tops and bases it just wasn’t in my price range. These are true tables for small spaces as I feel small space furniture needs to be very durable and our Ikea table is just that.
Perfect timing. I love all of your videos though 😊. I literally used to love browsing Restoration Hardware for inspiration~ what was I thinking? I own a 1400sq for bungalow near the beach. All of these secrets are what make a “small “ space feel curated , designed , well appointed and comfy. Thanks Lisa~
From Lia
Hey Lisa great ideas for small spaces.
Love it!!
I love the idea of keeping floors and rugs similar colors. That’s what wrong with my lil dining area!
Same here, but it’s too late 😢
Funny story I bought my first custom sofa from lazy boy…. I picked out of a catalog as it was new and not in store yet…. It’s what I had dreamed of…. She said it was an apartment sofa…. I live in a modest house….when it was finally made and delivered…. The pieces looked like doll furniture….you have to laugh…. But I split the space & put in a round table… good choice…. And then it looked intentional…. But until then …. It was hilarious….😆
A couple of years ago I moved into a 600 square foot apartment. Rather than buying a round dining table, I bought the Piazza by Ligne Roset with two white Jolie chairs. The Piazza has one flat side so you can push it up against the wall when not in use. For the finish I chose the nanomaterial Fenix in white rather than a glass top. Have you thought about talking about materials? For my foyer I chose the Loomy coat rack. And in a few days, I will pick up the Yuragi low table in green marble just as soon as I sell some of my old furniture. But I am not interested in making another purchase until I meet with a designer-if I can find one for such a small project.

Lisa, your so enjoyable 🛋️🪞
So what do you do to make a room that naturally comes with squared furniture look less boxy? While not being overcrouded?
And what if you're opting for that oversized couch while not creating to much visual weight that is still suited for elderly people?
I purchased a Homesteps foreclosure studio in Queens. NY. I have a murphy bed (no room divider needed). Luv the pic of the oversized sofa - LOL😂😂😂 I bought a 7 foot silk Lillian August sofa (flew to the plant in NC - got a $6K sofa for under $1K) - knocked out the middle man. When they delivered the sofa, they ripped the back, had to take the sofa back to NC for repair. I had 2 choices either have somemone take the sofa apart and reassemble it (it is an 8-weigh tie down sofa) or hoist it through the window, having someone take it apart, the integrity of the sofa is not guantreed. I hired day labourers to walk the sofa up 8 flight of stairs. I have a galley kitchen - bought round kitchen table as you suggest in this video (had contractors cut-off 1/3 of table in orderr push the table flush against the wall) and chairs at hotel liquidiation in NYC (I live in Queens, NY) - after watching ts video, will update the chairs (Girl, you are on point!).
Wonderful! I’d LUV to answer questions and help over at my site in my site... dezignspace.com
So even though I don’t have a studio apartment I live in a house with I don’t know about 1200 ft.² and I’m remodeling because it’s a late 1950s home and I needed a lot of love when I inherited it I find myself watching more of the smaller rumor, home renovations Because my home fits more of those renovations because let’s face it in the 1950s they didn’t need all the storage for all the unwanted things that we own today so I’m finding myself having to downsize more than I want to but I think I’m ready for some of it anyway But what I like the best is that you show the monochrome coloring on the walls and how it makes it pop I love that because I can always change the pop color without having to redo the whole room. I love the screens that you showed the dividers that black one was really cool not that I made any of that but some good ideas though because I have taken walls down to open up my space to make it feel and look bigger. I have to tell you, Lisa I love that you give me ideas without telling me what I have is wrong or I need to buy something or I need to change it because it’s not the style anymore or shall we say the fade! As always thank you it’s late, but happy Valentine’s Day

Love your energy, personal style, and design suggestions. You've just gained a new subscriber. Look forward to your other vids.
Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love every single detail about it ♥️ you are amazing I take a notes for my tiny vacation house 🇸🇻
Yay! Thank you!
Loveseats are just oversized chairs. Useless as a sofa.
I have this issue of house beautiful 🤩
For a children’s room in a cottage, would you recommend trying to make it feel expansive or cosy? I lean towards eclectic colourful… but now wondering if I should make it more one colour - not sure since it’s a children’s room.
❤❤❤
You are a wealth of knowledge and share it in the most intelligent and interesting way.❤
Wow, thank you
I love these videos. I have a really small space we are re-doing.. at a snails pace. A few things I so often run into I'd love to see you address.... We need furniture for TALL people... ie a couch that my 6'3 guy doesn't have to do a workout squat to sit down and get back up from. Even in large furniture... why is everything built so low?? I love the white cotton fiber overstuffed couch at 6:06. The color, texture and overstuffed design are my favorite. But with pups it would have to be washable and with small male pups fabric to the floor?... one small accident and it is a disaster. Where can it be found - maybe it can be washed..(it's not on your products sidebar). Love the ideas of lots of wall storage, but my personal taste is NO clutter and open shelving not only seems so cluttered in a small space... it also allows all the dust (which we have a lot of in this arid climate) to settle in.... (doors please!).. And dividers!! what a cool look for a small space and a separation for a daybed area or an office spot, especially see through. Thanks so much!!! And I'm so hoping you can address some of these items in the future!!
I live in a really small house and have a huge sofa that I was able to make work in the space. One thing I did was to hang a huge wall tapestry from the top of the ceiling behind it. For some reason it makes everything work. Good luck. Oh, and the sofa has tons of pillows on it and it still works.
Downsizing to 1300 sq ft. Love the ideas for my new home.
Wonderful! I can answer questions and help over at my site in my site... dezignspace.com
That tiny accent table could use a hook on it for a napkin or ??
I always break Rule #1! Sorry Lisa! I Paint put specific areas of my studio keeping in mind architectural details to define each living space. It helps keep the visual feel larger by pulling the eye into specific areas as separates.
As a lover of vibrant colour, rule #1 always makes me sad - especially when the only option presented for small spaces is all-white-everything, or the complete opposite - dark and moody. I want a yellow livingroom with my whole heart 😭😭
Lisa, I'd like to know where I can find the wide "sideboard cabinet" on the room divider part of video at 3:24. Thank you!
Hi, my favorite is the all white, I would love, love to have a white floor but wood does not come in white and I also love a wood floor.
I have cream painted floorboards, and in a previous house I had pale pink. Not for everyone, but I love them.
I have a small 1 bedroom 952/sf condo. Love to see some ideas

I wonder about putting shelves up above doors and windows. My ceilings are 9ft high. Has anyone done this and regretted it? Could it make the space feel more cramped?
Hi I was looking for the black chairs with the brass backs that you pictured . Where can I find those

My house is 12’x30’. We are painting everything white, even the floors, then adding color through furniture, blankets, etc.
Go for Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace. I love it! Good luck~

Is this a re-release? I've seen this video before.
My home has 3 rooms on the first floor: (1) walk into the Parlor (2) Living Room (3) Dining Room and then the kitchen off the Dining room, with shelving all around the walls of the dining room! I love your tips for small living room. I think my colorful rug????
