Choosing furniture for a small house

Choosing furniture for a small house

Scale, sight lines and dual purpose pieces. How to furnish a compact home without making it feel smaller.

Small rooms are not helped by small furniture. They are helped by fewer, better proportioned pieces.

Fewer, larger pieces

One generous sofa reads calmer than three small chairs. Clutter, not size, is what shrinks a room.

Keep sight lines open

Legs rather than plinths, wall hung units rather than floor standing, and nothing tall in the middle of the plan.

Make pieces work twice

Storage benches, extending tables and beds with drawers earn their floor area twice over.
