SMALL SPACE DWELLER HANDBOOK: Floating Furniture

{The long legs on this custom-made side table is perfect for a small space...functional and appealing.}

{The narrow legs on this vintage credenza provide a visual cue of more space.}

Another page in the SMALL SPACE DWELLER HANDBOOK for you lovely readers. If you are looking to make your space "feel" bigger then it is, buy furniture with longer, more narrow legs. This allows a visual cue to keep the eye moving beyond the piece of furniture. Every piece in our main room (less the IKEA hacked bookcases) float in the space. I am even going to add casters to the bookcases one day to create a floating effect. If your current furniture does not have legs, don't fret. Many stores now carry a selection of legs you can add to furniture. Or contact a local carpenter and customize your own for a nice price.
