2. The platform game

Walls limit the look of space in a small home, while platforms are an excellent choice to enhance a spacious looking interior, it’s like designating areas in the home to serve different functions and is great for a studio apartment.

The platform serves as extra slide out storage for those items that you don’t always need.

3. Railed door

Sliding doors are an excellent choice for a tiny living space as they don’t take up any extra centimetres when open, giving a home a loft-like feeling.
