How the right furniture arrangement can maximize a small space.

Interior designer Michael Bargo went big with his 475 square foot studio apartment, packing a maximum of furniture into strategic vignettes— including a bed smack-dab in the middle.

Create a furniture plan that works with your space. A small rental apartment doesn't have to be glorified a dorm room: An elongated sofa, a pair of neutral slipper chairs, and elegant floor-to-ceiling drapes create an urbane feel.

Strategic furniture creates distinct rooms; open bookshelves divide the space without blocking light.

Custom bookshelves frame a doorway, setting up this small apartment's rectangular motif while adding extra storage. A unified color scheme—in this case, black-and-white—makes a small space feel considered.

Tori Mellott, transformed her 450 square foot apartment into a neutral haven without skimping on her over-the-top style. Farrow & Ball wide-striped wallpaper helps emphasize the high ceilings, glossy white floors bounce tons of sun around and make the room feel airy, and a big mirror and hanging lamp further the illusion of expansiveness.

Tips for Office Interior Planning

What you see here is the traditional setting to any office space - as long as you have two walls! This plan is safe & can be creative & attractive if you choose to do one or two of the followings:

1- Change the color of the back wall (the one behind your desk) by painting it or even better by wallpapering it: Adding texture & color of your choice in only ONE wall, will frame the space beautifully & it will be the starting point to design the full room.

2- Choose a simple desk that matches your needs & doesn't take much space.

3- Try to be brave with colors, but only by using accessories NOT fixed items, so you can remove them & change them whenever you like easily.

4- The Office Chair : Invest in this item as much as you can & buy a chair with a thin back (Padded leather chairs looks comfortable & feels that only in the first 40 minutes) & you must have a high quality mechanism in it's movement.
