Small Space, Big Style : Episode HSSBS-107 -- More Projects »
Host Martin Amado visits four distinct spaces in New York, Brooklyn, Houston and Washington, D.C. With some careful planning and ingenuity, the homeowners came up with clever ways to employ versatility, utility and style in less than 900 square feet. Try some of these ideas in your home!
Versatility Is Vital
Jonathan Gann of Washington, D.C., never expected to be able to afford a house downtown. A housing lottery landed him an 870-square-foot loft that he transformed into a bright, modern, open space that's perfect for entertaining a variety of groups. Furniture can be rearranged, cabinets double as closets, and the Murphy bed folds up to create more space. Flexibility is the key in this apartment.
Maximizing Every Square Inch
Understanding how to plan for and live in a tight space comes naturally to Leslie Hoffman, who has a background in architecture and sailing. Her 460-square-foot traditional apartment in New York, N.Y., features the modern must-haves of ample storage and an open floor plan. Combining some inventive touches with essential items paid off big in this small space.
