COZY LIVING ROOM

Turn a tiny room into a multitasking haven. An apartment-size sofa and a pair of slipper chairs anchor this seating area. Built-in bookcases wrap a sunny bank of windows and give the room floor-to-ceiling storage.

COLORFUL ENTRY

It's OK to be bold in a small space, especially in a transition zone, such as a foyer. Here, graphic blue-and-white wallpaper adds life to an entry. Crisp white trim balances the space.

SUNNY DINING ROOM

A round table with a pedestal leg functions best in a small dining room because it allows more legroom. An inexpensive Colonial chandelier from Ikea gets a modern touch with unexpected round bulbs.
