Small but mighty

So you live in a small space, and you have a lot of stuff.

You don’t know where to put it or how to arrange it in an attractive way. The struggle is real. As editors who work in a city and live in tinier-than-average homes, we’re all too familiar with this issue. We understand firsthand the storage and design dilemmas of a petite pad – the too-little closets, the lack of countertops, the awkward nooks, the miniscule bathrooms...the list goes on. But small space living doesn’t have to mean constant clutter and disastrous decor. The secret? Organization. It’s as simple as that, but we all know it’s not as easy as that! To learn how to do it right, we present this special issue dedicated to bringing order to every square inch you occupy.

We start off with tidying schedules (things can get out of hand quickly in tight quarters) and then move on to room-by-room ideas for getting messes under control (it’s all about smart and stylish storage solutions). We also feature five fabulous homes that prove you don’t have to be a minimalist to make the most of your wee abode (clever and creative thinking is key). And last but not least, we turn to the pros for clutter cures (you’ll be obsessed with colourcoding by the last page).

That’s just a taste of what’s on offer in this handy guidebook. It’s jam-packed with useful tips and tricks – many new and some tried and true – as well as endless inspiration. Now ask yourself: Am I ready to take this organizational journey? Your small space sure hopes so.
