How To Streamline Your Small Space (And A Giveaway!)

I have a long history with figuring out how to best organize a small living space. For years, we lived in a 350-square-foot apartment, before upgrading to what felt like a sprawling mansion: a 700-square-foot apartment. Now we live in a house, but it's a hundred-year-old Colonial, which means that it comes with its own space issues: teeny bedrooms, narrow hallways, and next-to-no closet space.

But something I've discovered over the years is that there are ways to make small-space living not just workable, but lovely. It's all about smart choices: looking for compact home items that pull double-duty and choosing decor elements that emphasize light and create the feeling of a wide-open space. Here’s how I’ve been adding a few easy updates to our home to make it more beautiful and more functional.

How To: Set Up A Nursery In A Small Apartment

Q. Hi Jordan,

My husband and I are expecting a little one soon, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for creating a nursery. 

We live in New York City, where (as you know) having an actual separate room for baby is hard to come by. We're lucky enough to have a big bedroom, so we're rearranged it to feel (kind of) like two separate spaces. Any advice on how to make things modern, eclectic, kind of funky, all while meshing with the adult space?

(Our walls are currently cobalt blue, FYI.)
