Smallest space you’ve lived in? A studio

apartment in Chicago. Every morning I’d fold

up my futon to transform my bedroom into

my living room. Any small-space living tips?

When I lived in a small condo with a tiny

kitchen I sacrificed cupboard space for a

small dishwasher — a great place to store dirty

dishes and clean ones too! How do you

reduce clutter? I’m pretty judicious about

which of my kids’ art projects we keep. Unless

they’re very special most get quietly filed in

the recycling bin and no one seems to notice.

Smallest space you’ve lived in? Our previous

apartment a prewar on the Upper West Side

in New York was 600 square feet. Any small-

space living tips? Carve out nooks within

larger living areas and use area rugs to define

spaces. How do you reduce clutter? Edit

edit edit! If you haven’t used it within a year

or it doesn’t make you smile get rid of it.

Also consider dual-purpose furnishings

that can double as storage — like end tables

with drawers.

Elegant” (page 70)

Where do you call home? My family of

three fits perfectly in our 800-square-foot

bungalow in central Toronto. Decorating tips

to make small spaces feel bigger? In our

house we removed non-load-bearing walls to

improve flow and used lighter paint colours to

make the space feel brighter. For the decor

we also used lighter tones and went for

apartment-sized pieces like our sofa which

keeps the space from feeling cramped.
