Under the stairs is a prime spot.

3. Keep your furniture small but your patterns big and bold

You don't have to be minimalist just because you have small dimensions.

4. Try to install your kitchen with symmetry in mind

This will help prevent taking up an entire room just for eating. Don't forget to add fun colour accents!

6. Choose a theme for your small bedroom

Small bedrooms can be great if you think of a theme you like and really go for it. This rustic style looks amazing and perfectly hides the proportions of the room.

7. Turn a box room into a walk-in wardrobe

If you have a terrace house that has a box room, use it as a walk-in wardrobe to save taking up valuable bedroom space. You only need some built-in shelves and a rail and you're done!

8. Use bunk beds

9. Bold wallpaper loves a tiny bathroom

Tiny bathrooms make great recipients for bold wallpaper designs. Just look at how amazing this space is and what a shock it must be to open the door and find it.

10. Make every inch work for you

If you have a garage, take the time to add some clever storage or it will quickly get overrun with rubbish and become unusable. You could even have a utility corner to free up some kitchen space.

12. The great outdoors

The tiniest of patios or balconies can become valuable outdoor space with a little bistro table set and some lights.
