There’s no right or wrong when it comes to space-planning, especially when a room has multiple jobs to do. From open clothes storage to a flexible home office, see how we helped to make this room work harder.
Rather than being limited by an unusual space, put its quirks to good use. Julia and André’s room has limited floorspace but they thought in cubic metres, using its high ceilings to build a mezzanine bed platform. They turned the structure below into storage, and used the rest of the space this freed up for André’s clothes rails, where he organises his carefully curated wardrobe and home office.
“We used the ceiling height to build our mezzanine bed. I love how it feels like a cosy cave. The added benefit is having my wardrobe below without taking up any extra room.”
Make The Most Of Storage In Small Spaces.
“My wardrobe was my starting point in working towards a lightweight lifestyle. I used to shop a lot. Fast fashion. Since paring back, I noticed how much better it felt to have less.”
Consider the impact one part of the room has on another. Open wardrobes suit some spaces, but because André also works here, he didn’t want it to feel like a dressing area. Finding doors to fit the custom structure proved difficult, so when stylist Carl Braganza visited, he added a curtain to cover the hanging rail, along with slim storage boxes for the shelves built into each stair riser.
Invest in hard-working pieces. André’s old office set-up was bulky and impractical, so he often ended up working in the dining room. Together, he and stylist Carl chose the IDÅSEN desk – a flexible solution that offers sitting and standing positions via electronic controls. “I’ve wanted to try a standing desk for a while. And I’m six feet tall so the adjustable height is good for me!” says André.

The self-built mezzanine platform measures around seven square metres, and extends above half of the overall room. On the back wall, and under the staircase leading down from the mezzanine level, is Julia’s clothes storage. At the foot of the stairs, in the far corner, are André’s clothes rails. His workspace sits on the opposite side of the room.

Mercedes uses smart storage and organisation to make life easier in her compact apartment. Here are her ideas for each room.
1. Open up your kitchen storage Smart storage doesn’t mean everything has to be hidden away. Keep crockery and kitchen utensils stacked on a long shelf and in open boxes on the worksurface, so everyday items are easy to reach while preparing food.
Storage Ideas To Maximize A Small Space
2. Use the walls in the hallway Don’t let a hallway be wasted space. A whole wall of TRONES shoe cabinets can add tonnes of storage to a narrow hallway. ‘As well as shoes, we keep general household stuff hidden in there, too.’
3. Fill awkward spaces In a compact home, every corner counts! Make the most of space under the stairs by adding small storage solutions. Baskets and boxes keep paperwork and craft supplies organised, and a low dresser is great for storing things out of sight.
4. Customise storage in the living room Make a large storage unit more effective by adding pull-out boxes and inserts. Mix open storage with closed and choose different materials to give it a personal, customised look.
A Small And Smart Family Hallway
5. Stack boxes in the bedroom Store out-of-season clothes in boxes and add labels so you know exactly what’s inside each one. Mercedes hides her clothes rails and boxes behind a curtain, rather than in a conventional wardrobe. ‘I can give the room a new look just by changing the fabric.’
6. Encourage creativity Make it easy for kids to find inspiration in their bedroom. Mercedes’ daughter Emília (6) has shelves and boxes around her desk for all her colourful art supplies and toys. She picks out new pictures for her walls every few weeks and Mercedes helps her display them using washi tape.
‘I’ve never lived in a big home, so I’ve learned how to be smart with storage, ’ says Mercedes. ‘We fit everything we need into whatever space we have – just like my mother did.’
