There is much to be said for the pleasures inherent in small spaces. Whether it's a cozy corner, an intimate library, or a window seat tucked under an eave, we respond to these smaller spaces because they have a more intimate scale. Regardless of whether you aim to embrace the enveloping nature of a small space or prefer it to feel more expansive, there are designer tricks you can use to make the most of your home's compact areas.

See Making the Most of Small Spaces for more design ideas.
