"One of my favorite parts of writing House Tours for Apartment Therapy is getting to explore beautiful, unique interiors around the world - and discovering all the deeply personal and wildly imaginative ways people make a space their own. And no one is quite as creative as a big family trying to make a small home work for everyone who shares the space."
"While it's always fun to admire a stunning home, it's not a huge layout or an unlimited budget that impresses me. What I find much more compelling is seeing how people work within real constraints - of space, money, time, or energy - and still manage to create homes that are functional, thoughtful, and full of character. Size and budget limitations are often where the truly brilliant ideas show up."
Big families adapt small homes using creative layouts, custom storage, and shared rooms to meet everyone's needs. Constraints of space, budget, time, and energy drive practical, inventive solutions that prioritize function, thoughtfulness, and character. Effective designs emphasize problem-solving over expensive furnishings or perfect room counts, using hacks like custom storage to make tiny bedrooms work and shared spaces that accommodate multiple users. Organizational strategies keep homes tidy daily while maximizing usability. Shared sleeping arrangements extend beyond bunk beds, offering a range of sleeping and storage configurations that provide inspiration for households with children, partners, or pets.
