Small Space Makeover

  • Share:

"We live in the smallest apartment ever," says Louise, who shares a 290-square-foot-studio with her boyfriend in New York City. "It's really cramped and it's constantly a mess ... we can never find anything." They have no storage for clothing, books or electronics and desperately want help making their small pad feel like home.

Rach's buddy Kristan is up for the challenge. "When you live this small you've got to be smart about how you store things, and everything still has to be accessible," she explains. So she hangs matching white cabinets on the walls and hides more storage under their bed, creating a sleek, efficient space. She even finds room for a dining room table -- click on the video for the dramatic reveal!

Louise is thrilled and says it even feels "big!" And, her boyfriend Anton enjoys inviting some friends over for a tour. "Just the other day we had five people," he says. "That's just never happened before. And now we have ... a home."
