Small Space Squad Home Tour

What is your favorite part about living small? 

Our house has low ceilings and a real cottage feel — it’s just so cozy and sweet, the smallness makes it feel intimate.

What is your number one hack for living small?

Take advantage of wall space! Hooks and shelves are your friends, especially if you’re limited on closet space.

Finding places to store things! Our bathroom has a pedestal sink and no storage space except for a mirrored medicine cabinet. I added a small bamboo cabinet to the room to hold beauty and bath products — sometimes if the storage space doesn’t exist, you have to create it.

Do you ever feel pressure to be “minimalistic” or feel guilty about buying things you don’t “need” for your home?

I have a lot of respect for minimalists but it’s not my style, so I don’t really feel pressure to adapt that lifestyle. However I am trying to be more intentional with what I bring into the house — if I don’t absolutely love a piece, then it’s probably not something I should spend my money on.

What have you learned about yourself by living small?

That I’m actually happier with less. Chuck Palahniuk’s quote, “The things you own end up owning you” rings true for me. After binging Tidying Up with Marie Kondo this past winter I donated about half of my wardrobe and so many bags of home decor, as well as other things. It felt like a giant weight was lifted off my shoulders! I had accumulated so many “things” that were no longer serving me, it felt good to let them go and only keep the ones that spark joy.

What do your friends and family say about your choice to live small?

Everyone is supportive! Most of my friends live small as well, so we’re all in the same boat. Family gatherings or get togethers with friends at our house always feel intimate and fun, we wouldn’t change a thing.
