"For many people, including me, every square foot in a home is precious - and preferably usable. What appears to be a bare corner to some is actually an opportunity for clever vertical storage. This hypersensitivity to many interior-maximizing moments is born from my time spent living in small spaces. It's as if I've developed an internal alarm whenever I see someone else doing something brilliantly space-saving in their home - especially if it doesn't require any tools and looks stylish."
"When I came across Frida and Petter's 475-square-foot apartment in Oslo, Norway, I was stunned. The couple transformed what was once initially a blank, builder-grade space into a home with layers. Even though they did a lot of DIY projects in the home, and created their own custom furniture pieces out of wood, they also made some thoughtful furniture purchases to make their small space work smarter."
Every square foot becomes valuable in small homes, turning bare corners into vertical-storage opportunities. A 475-square-foot Oslo apartment was transformed from a blank builder-grade layout into a layered, functional home through DIY projects and selective furniture purchases. The occupants built custom wooden pieces and chose multiuse items to maximize space. They use three stacked wooden stools as a nightstand, providing a bedside surface while concealing extra seating and side tables. The stacked stools' wood finish complements a casual Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic, creating cohesion between form and function in a compact living environment.
