In this mountain home, two studded leather coffee tables provide flexibility in arrangement without sacrificing table space—and match perfectly with the antique Oushak rug, which ties the whole room together. Or, use two tufted ottomans—like in Hammer & Heels living room—to add storage space.

Do you absolutely need the space one unified coffee table provides? Don’t choose chunky or bulky furniture. Instead, pick a sleek table—like this iron-framed wood-topped coffee table designer Sarah M. Dorsey used in her living room. The open-air bottom makes the room feel roomy and large.

Just because your house isn’t huge doesn’t mean you can’t have a space all to yourself. You may not have room for your own office or lounge, but transforming a corner into an itty-bitty reading nook—just add a comfy chair and a small side table—creates a peaceful space that’s all your own. Need inspiration? Check out this calm, beautiful nook from Love Grows Wild.

Adding a pop of a vivid color, like bright yellow—see this half bath from Mrs. Fancee—can add drama and personality to a small room. There is one caveat: Using too much of a bold color can feel claustrophobic, especially in a tight space, so make sure to contrast with white, which makes rooms feel bigger and airier.

Wicker’s all the rage—and we’re so thankful. Not only is it chic and in-style, but it can serve dual-duty as storage and shelving. In this Park Hill house, featured on Houzz, two stacked baskets create an attractive makeshift nightstand. Inside, store extra blankets, pillows, or books.
