We have seen how small rooms can thus be arranged so we can enjoy the space to the fullest, despite the given proportions. By choosing the right colors, to have that opening up visual effect, but also by smartly positioning furniture items, any small room can suddenly become bigger in our eyes. Leaving the visual perceptions aside, we are now turning our look to practical solutions, such as smart furniture for small spaces, and see how designers came up with solutions for a problem we cope with every day. Space has never been bigger than now!
