Small spaces come with unique challenges, and I find that multiple-use furniture and layering works best — for example, an ottoman that can double as storage and also seating, or a side table that can be tucked into a nook but easily moved around. Sometimes having an interesting light or mirror can draw in the eye and keep the space visually appealing. Here are some of my finds, from furniture to vases, that bring this concept to life.
