Photos of Small Spaces

Entry #1 for the Small Space Race Contest. You can see the front entry that leads into the living room and kitchen in the first photo. The second photo shows the small closet to the left as you enter. In the third photo you can see a quick glimpse of the kitchen.

Entry #2 for the Small Space Race Contest. I live in a roughly 400 square foot studio apartment. It’s definitely been a challenge to find space for all of my belongings. My strategy is to try to buy thrifty pieces that can be used for multiple functions.

Entry #3 for the Small Space Race Contest. I think my bedroom is the perfect mix of masculinity with a relaxed island theme. Though having numerous personal relics, from the early twentieth century trolley car fare-box I restored to the slate fossil of a fern leaf I found with my grandfather as…

Entry #4 for the Small Space Race Contest. I hope you enjoy viewing my space. I know I do!! Although it’s tight living I’d have to admit this has been my best apartment. The first photo is a view of my living room taken in the small space between my kitchen and dining room. From here you can see…

Entry #5 for the Small Space Race Contest. Our family room is 25′ by 9 1/2′, with a door leading out the garage, a door leading out to the patio, and doorways to the kitchen on one end, and the dining room on the other. So I was basically limited to one wall against which the furniture could go. Any…

Entry #6 for the Small Space Race Contest. When I moved into my new space, I was bemoaning to a friend how small my bedroom felt… to which they replied, “Well, it’s no wonder — you’ve got like an entire apartment squeezed into this one room!” A few weeks and some rearranging later, I…

Entry #7 for the Small Space Race Contest. When I first saw this space, I was sad and wondered how I’d ever be able to live in it… it was so small and had zero character. This is the studio apartment I moved to after my husband left me a few months ago. I call it…

Entry #8 for the Small Space Race Contest. I think we’ve made beautiful use of this 10.5′ x 12.5′ (I am not joking!) space by angling the couch in the longer direction to fool the eye to thinking the room is bigger than it really is. We have a gorgeous faux fireplace that…

Entry #9 for the Small Space Race Contest. I am a design student in Los Angeles and I live in a studio apartment that is approximately 300 square feet. I’m all about my studio, its one of my favorite projects to work on. Its important to me to visually divide up the space with out…

I have the best small bedroom on the planet! I live in a tiny studio apartment in downtown DC and have no choice but to be very creative about my entire living space. However, I do have to say there is a downside to my “bedroom nook” It’s such a nice quiet sanctuary that it’s hard to leave sometimes.

My room is the best because it packs a lot of punch for such a small space. It is my bedroom, office, entertainment centre, ‘crafts’ room and coffee/snack bar. What I love most about my room is the colour.

I think my small bedroom is the best because it is the perfect place for dreaming whether I am awake or asleep. It is decorated with all the things that make me happy, and to be quite honest, it is where I keep most of my possessions that I use on a daily or nightly basis.

This was a fairly newer home and after a couple of years I got tired of the white walls. The furniture was left over from the post college collection and I wanted to be proud of where my guests would stay when they come visit.

As you may already know, I’ve been working on redecorating our small living room. The living room is also combined with a dining area. And since redecorating a home is almost always a learning process, I thought I’d share my journey with you.

Since the decorating journey in between is to relevant… I’ve taken some photos of how are small living room looks now. But first here’s a video clip of how it looks now. You’ll notice that the walls are pretty bare at the moment. Actually, everything looks pretty plain.

Here you can view before and after photos of my living room in my one-bedroom apartment. I no longer live there but I thought it was important to at least offer these photos in spite of the fact that I can’t continue to decorate the place, by some chance what I’ve already done might be helpful to you.

My sister is a great resource for offering you tips on decorating a studio apartment since she’s lived in a studio apartment for almost 6 years now. The size of her apartment is less the 400 square feet. My guess is that it ranges in between 200-300 square feet.

I live in a small studio apartment and it’s all about dividing up the space and using what I already have to make it work. To have my bedroom be a separate space, I used an open bookshelf coming off the wall and sheer curtains from the ceiling that I can leave open or close off my bed from…

I just love my daughter’s room. We just painted last week and the soft pink just makes the room glow. There are so many things I love about her room. The shelves above the bed help keep things off of the floor as does the headboard/shelves.

View a few before and after photos of Autumn’s kitchen in her studio apartment. Here we can see how small changes can make a big difference. She painted her wall and we can also see she hung up some photos to server as a focal point.

I think this small bedroom is the best, because it is so in style with Hannah Montana bedspread and accessories. My granddaughter who lives with us enjoys the bedroom every day. She is a Hannah Montana fan. This was her very first bedroom, too.

Our nursery is in a home 100+ years old. We wanted vibrancy, no pastels and chose eggshell walls (6 coats!) with candy-apple trim and black accents. Daddy hand-made the crib. Best part: totally unfinished when I went into labor a month early, daddy completed it in 36 hours!

I think my room is the best because even though its small, I made the best of its space. I think my room is especially good because it has a theme to it. Nothing fancy, just a color theme: red, black and white.

I just did my room over because we had a small flood in our house at Christmas time. My mom said I can do what I want, so I scraped together all my creative juices and came up with this. It is beautiful and unique, just like me.

My son’s bedroom was my utility room. We did a little remodeling to create a space, just for him. His bed is a captains bed, with two rows of dresser drawers, his closet is made from a utility cabinet. Both the bed and closet is black, with a diamond plate tin.

OOH LA LA! I have always thought of myself as a “girlie-girl.” For about 11 years, I had the same, somewhat childish bedroom and when I FINALLY got around to redecorating it, I thought to myself…

I think my small bedroom is the best because my room represents who I am. It is filled with ribbons I won in horse shows and many good memories! I also think my small bedroom is the best because I can walk in my room and feel like I am at the barn but without the smell and work…

No, I’m not entering two rooms! I work from home and we have a 700 sq. ft. place with two tiny rooms. We had to make room for baby, but I still needed a place to work to pay for those diapers! Solution-the nursery/home office… look…

Every time that I enter my small room I am very proud of the ways in which I have organized it. My small bedroom is the best, first of all, because it is romantically pleasing to the eyes and inviting to the soul.

It’s a small world, and I’ve made my small bedroom wonderful! I decorated my little oasis in a calming shade of green and have plenty of pillows to make it as luxurious as possible. The space-saving wooden bookshelves make it handy to enjoy a nice read just before bed.

We painted all four walls a pale grey and put down silver/grey carpet. The room was lacking something, and just looked like a small grey box. I added wallpaper with a white background and grey, black and white stripes to one solid wall in the room.

My small bedroom is a winner because of its uncluttered look, and unique fusion of French and Asian themes. My walls were antiqued by me in a soft buttery toffee color with white glaze, making the occupant feel they are in the bedroom of chateau.

This bedroom, in Boulder, Colorado, was once intended as an enclosed porch so two of the walls are actually large windows. I took advantage of the natural light by hanging gauze curtains which provided a warm, dreamy atmosphere.

I had an EXTREMELY small bedroom I used to live in. My old bedroom was a closet. Me and my two other roommates moved into a two bedroom apartment with a storage closet which I ended up with for a bedroom. I moved out of my small bedroom just over a month ago.

I feel my bedroom has it’s own personal charm. It may be small, but my room reflects my personality and it’s one of the only places I can think of as my own sanctuary. I color coordinated the room around white—white being a color that represents purity. It seemed to fit with my sanctuary idea.

My bedroom is very small and that helps it go along with our very small house (600 sq. feet total). The room is small but has a cozy feel to it and everything has to be arranged just right for it to fit properly. I have tried my best to do that.

Our whole cabin is very small—under 500 ft. We love living in the mountains and our little home suits us. We like the cozy feeling of a small bedroom. We have the bed at an angle to be able to see the view and since we have two dogs it gives them room on either side of the bed.

I think my small bedroom is the best because this is what all my friends and family always tell me (and I have to admit, I tend to agree!). It’s tough still living at home, so I needed a bedroom that I could escape to for long periods of time which means it had to be equipped with everything.

The walls of my bedroom are decorated with my artwork and with outside images I have collected in the past. Every time I feel confined I glance at the hung works and the company, pleasure, inspiration, and grandeur that they bring aggrandize and dominate over the smallness of the room.
