The following seven homes break every guideline in the less-is-more rulebook. Each micro space proves when done right, you don’t need a lot of square footage to create a home that’s brimming with style. Stuffing the tiny nook shown here with several pieces of small-scale furnishings would make it feel cramped and crowded. However, filling most of this space with a large sectional sofa makes this compact living room very inviting. How did she pull this look together? Walls and furniture in soft shades set the stage for her colorful wall art, curios, and home accessories. This stylish kitchen offsets dramatic black walls with a white ceiling and cabinetry. White paint creates the illusion of molding around the door’s edges and the top of the walls. To pull off this look, you’ll need to make sure that the chairs you pick are the correct seating height for the table you’re using. To create a bohemian vibe, use an eclectic mix of seats as shown here. For a clean, and contemporary look, keep all the chairs the same style, with each one being a different color. As shown here, an oversized pendant shade gives this tiny living room a beautiful focal point while illuminating the coffee table. The floor lamp on the right is for reading. The two small table lamps in the middle provide this tiny room with a diffused decorative light.
