Living in a small space

Living in a small space can have its challenges, but with a little creativity, colour coding, extendable functions and other smart solutions, one room can work just fine for two or even more.

Double the bed space

Even if you’re living small, you can easily create more space for your siblings. With stackable beds it’s easy to double the amount of bedspace.

Curtains for privacy

It’s nice to have company, but you will probably need alone-time too. Just draw the curtain and you will have the space all to yourself. It’s also a cosy way of cocooning the bed before bedtime.

Systemise with a splash of colour

A bit of paint on your untreated wood furniture helps you divide things up without actual dividers. If you make it a theme throughout your space, it's easy to tell what is what and whose is whose.
