We thought of a few must-haves to create a space that feels warm but not too cozy. The "use a mirror to create the illusion of space" design tip has been passed around a lot, but it's advice worth heeding. Mirrors reflect light and open up a space while serving as a statement piece on a wall.
It's important, particularly in a small space, to eliminate stuffiness by not having too much in one room (furniture, knick knacks or otherwise). One natural way of creating an airier atmosphere is having a potted plant or two indoors. It releases extra oxygen into the room and adds a bolt of color. It can take a lot of creative thinking to come up with the most efficient designs, but there are plenty of design blogs where people have done just that. Without the Internet, we wouldn't necessarily have thought of how rad it would be to ditch your TV screen and get a projector.
