"A small space requires some really creative solutions, always, if you want to live graciously in a space that doesn't have a lot of square footage," Berkus said in his video. "One idea that I've done in the past in my own tiny, under-500-square-foot apartment ... was I looked at the wall of closets that came with the apartment and I thought it would be so much more elegant to live here if I tucked the TV inside one of the closets."
"It also helped me because I didn't have a wall; it was all a wall of windows," Berkus said. "And so by putting the TV inside a closet, and you open both doors to watch TV, which I did every single night, it really helped with a small space to make it feel really elegant and gracious."
Tucking your TV inside an existing closet may also help you with a living room layout or a tricky bedroom layout, too. You can then have your couch or chairs face the closet wall, whereas before you may have been stuck with them facing the opposite way and blocking off access to the storage space.
