I'm not sure about you, but I'm tired of seeing so many small spaces that are extremely boring, that have just the same old, tiny furniture that barely fits. I know for sure that we can all have a comfortable and stylish small space. Today I'm picking 20 items to make any small space feel a bit industrial, a bit masculine and far from boring!

modern sofas by The Cross Decor & Design
Notting Hill Sofa »
I'm not going with a tiny sofa. You can compromise on the size of many things in the room, but you shouldn't compromise on the comfort of a normal-size couch. That's my tip to keep a small space felling like home: never compromise on comfort on main items for your house.
modern pillows by Restoration Hardware
Cashmere Pillow Covers - $79.00 »
You can't have a comfy couch without adding comfy pillows. Cashmere, anyone?
modern bookcases cabinets and computer armoires by UpCountry
Halo Scaffolding Wide Bookcase - CAD 2,995.00 »
Use large bookcases to divide spaces without blocking light. This one adds a vintage, industrial feel.
eclectic rugs by UpCountry
Halo Union Jack Rug »
Patriotism — why not? Rugs with straight lines can make a space feel larger.
modern mirrors by The Cross Decor & Design
BALADI Rustic Finish Mirror - CAD 1,995.00 »
Mirrors are the best friend of a tiny room. Don't be limited to the usual ones; use a mirror with personality.
traditional paints stains and glazes by Home Depot
BEHR Premium Plus 8 Oz. Antique White Interior/Exterior Paint Tester - $2.49 »
We all know that light colors make rooms feel bigger, but aren't you a bit tired of the "old" white? This one is a new white with a twist.

Keep walls in a light color and add color with accessories. I really like this unique stool. It's so fun!
contemporary glassware by Bellissimo
Bellissimo Sun Valley Turquoise Swirl Blown Glass Tumbler - $45.00 »
Be creative and find multi-use items. Cups can hold many things, such as keys or candles, and they can even become small vases.
traditional wall shelves by UpCountry
Gus Picture Rail - CAD 120.00 »
The best tip when designing a small space is thinking vertically. Use shelves to display beautiful items.
traditional throws by The Cross Decor & Design
Wool Gray Throw - CAD 295.00 »
Large or small, every space needs to have some coziness. A soft lamb wool throw is perfect for this time of the year.
modern dining tables by Crate&Barrel

Glass tables don't block out the space and keep an airy/spacious feel in the room.

traditional baskets by West Elm
Cara Baskets - $49.00 »

I'm a big believer that every house should have some kind of natural plants. It can be tricky in a small space, but these hanging glass planters are simply perfect for it.
traditional medicine cabinets by BoBo Intriguing Objects
Rivet Medicine Cabinet »
Use a medicine cabinet as art and storage. I'd use four of these on a wall.
modern bar tables by Furbish Studio
Bond Bar Table - $1,100.00 »
A bar table would be perfect to use as a console because it's slightly smaller.
