The second key to living in a small space is multifunctionality. The biggest problem in our apartment is the size of the kitchen; there is literally no counter space. To solve this problem, we bought a large cutting board. This large cutting board has been a live saver when it comes to preparing our own meals. Check out these pictures to see how we use it, and awesome place we found to store it while not in use!
The cutting board thing is just a simple trick we discovered. For someone who owns their own property, there is an endless array of ways they can remodel or design from scratch to incorporate multifunctionality. For an example of what I mean, check out this design: a bed that goes up into the ceiling during the day to free up the floor space for day use. There are also many books on the subject. The book How to Live in Small Spaces suggests tables and beds that fold down from the wall, chairs that are stackable, and furniture on wheels, so that any given space can be converted from one purpose to another.
