In this small kitchen, square footage is preserved by an ingenious Murphy table. At mealtimes, the table drops down from the wall to provide intimate seating for one or two. In an extra space-saving move, there is also hidden shelving for cups and glasses tucked into the wall.

The cabinet above this chair is actually a dining table that drops down from the wall. Fold it up and out of the way for more floor space when meal prep is underway.

This shelf's little storage nooks are the perfect fit for drinking glasses and coffee cups.

In the entryway to this loft, Bertoia and Eames chairs are joined by a 19th-century Victorian reading chair from London. Open shelves provide handy book storage above the window and don't take up any floor space.
