Guest Picks: Neutral Essentials for a Small Space
With furniture that flatters, savvy storage and accessories that maximize space, small rooms can be long on style
Living in a small space can be a challenge, but the approach you take can also radiate style. I love lifting things off the floors by taking advantage of ceiling or wall space, utilizing translucent or transparent elements and not sacrificing an ounce of personal taste. This collection focuses on natural elements, neutral colors and chic accents to help you make the best of a small home. — Erin from House of Earnest
Miguel Double Sconce
There's no need for lighting to take up precious floor space when sconces this pretty exist.
Under Bed Storage Box With Lid, Dark Brown
Utilize the space you see — and the space you don't. This basket makes wonderful storage for under the bed, but it is also pretty enough to be visible. You can use it under a chair or couch too.
Rogar Medium Oval Pot Racks, Hammered Copper/Copper
Capitalize on the space above your head when you're low on cabinet real estate. This is the the prettiest pot rack I've seen at a reasonable price.

Chic café chairs are even more suited for small spaces when done in clear acrylic. These almost disappear and create more visual space for a tight nook.

Easy, simple and adaptable, this little drop-leaf café table would be perfect with a mix of eclectic café chairs in pretty colors.
Ekby Alex/Ekby Valter Shelf With Drawer
This wall-mounted shelf with drawers would make the perfect home bar and wouldn't take up any precious floor space.
All Welded Utility Rolling Rack
A rolling rack is the perfect solution for the closetless, and it puts pretty pieces on display. Opt for a big piece of fun art above it for maximum impact.
Barrington Sofa, Kyle Charcoal
A sofa in a light shade with low (or no) arms helps a small living room look spacious. This sofa is on the smaller side but is big on style!
Numeric Stacking Stool
Small stacking stools work as side tables and additional seating when a big couch isn't an option.
Argyle Printed Dhurrie, Winter Sky
The light colors and elongated pattern in this rug would jazz up a small space without looking too crowded.
Chiara Coffee Table
I love putting round coffee tables in small spaces. The bottom shelf, reflective glass and antique mirror finish make this one even more perfect for a little living space. I would pile some pretty books on top and put a colorful catchall basket for remote controls and other small items on the bottom.
Shoji Rice Paper Folding Screen Room Divider
Low on storage? A room divider gives you the perfect opportunity to hide anything from a bike to stacks of storage containers.

Anything on wheels is great for a smaller home. This cart could be used to house small appliances in the kitchen or to display your Thanksgiving buffet for the family. It's super stylish to boot.

The perfect mix of vintage and sleek, this wall-mount sink by Happy D. is just right for the petite powder room.
Satin Interior Glass Doors
Own your home? Switching out interior doors for these with a glass panel will make your home seem more spacious. I would opt for frosted glass for privacy.
