E06: How to Design in Small Spaces

Have a small kitchen or tiny bathroom you’re struggling to make sense of? You’re not alone. The median size of homes across the US is just over 2,000 sq ft, which means the vast majority of us don’t live in sprawling mansions, and the vast majority of us aren’t afforded the luxury of building our own homes. So how do you maintain form and function in your dinky kitchen? How do you make your itty-bitty bathroom stylish and accommodating? And how do you maximize storage and comfort in a bedroom that’s barely big enough for a queen size bed?

These are the questions I’m answering in today’s episode as we go room-by-room through some of the most important things to think about as you design your small but mighty spaces.
