It's a sad fact: There's only so much square footage in a home, and furniture is taking up a big chunk of it. But if you take into consideration all the available space that starts just past the floor and continues up to the ceiling, all of a sudden endless possibilities open up to you. Float some shelves, a desk or even a loft off the ground to start maximizing the spacial potential of your small home.

The dish rack has long been the bane of my kitchen counter, taking up space and looking none too pretty in the process. A slight lift and it's no longer a space suck. Huzzah!

In the same studio, the designer used a shelving system to hold items and work as an office space. It's much more compact than a bureau, and leaves the floors wide open.
