Not Your Typical Small Space Living List - a list by fauna
Options for This Page
About this list:
I live in a small space (650 sq ft) and I actually enjoy living in small spaces. I always appreciate pieces that are well-designed for small space living with 'looking' like they were made for compact spaces. At first glance, this list is going to look really random. But look again. Many pieces have multiple uses -- like the ottoman that could seat 3 at a party. Some pieces are just the perfect scale -- big style in small packages. A few are space-saving, but in non-traditional ways.
Qualifications:
Manage the home & tabletop dept at a major luxury retailer.

Ming Vase Bowls Ibride
First to recommend
Description
What a cool object! Made of melamine, this vase is actually made up of 6 bowls which can be used individually. Beautiful decoration on the inside!
Be sure to 'take a closer look' to see other photos.
I've added this in my 'small spaces' list because it can serve double duty and stores so gracefully.

Description
I've always been a fan of this petite table, and now it's on SALE. It is feminine without being overly so, the size is great for small spaces, and the mirrored top makes it glam.

Hex Key L - Wrench Set on PB Swiss Tools
6 people recommended this item
Description
Caution: my longest review ever!
Admit it, you own a piece of furniture that you had to put together with one of these things. OK, maybe more than one.
And let's just say that one day, you had to take one of these pieces of furniture apart because... oh, I don't know... because you decided to sell your West Elm bed on Craig's List so that you could buy the EXACT SAME bed in a different color to better match your new color scheme -- not that I've ever done anything so crazy (he, he). Anyway, this is the moment that you realize you have NO idea where you put that stupid hex key. Or you find one, only to realize it was for that Ikea table you sold in a garage sale last year and it's the wrong freaking size. Who knew these things came in sizes, anyway?
At this point, buying one of these little sets seems like a BRILLIANT idea. In fact, this one is so lovely that you realize it has other uses too -- like a as a paperweight on your desk, or as a teaching aid to teach your little nephew about rainbows.
Are you still with me? Buy the dang thing already!

Pling Collection - ZipZip
First to recommend
Description
***BE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL PHOTOS -- TAKE A CLOSER LOOK***
ZipZip are upholstered cushions, which can be connected with zips on all four sides. Countless possibilities to build nearly every situation of sitting or laying down comfortably are the result.
How cool is that? Endless possibilities. Great for small space living because they are so multifunctional.

Mesmerizing screen in black and silver leaf. The diamond pattern pops and adds height and pattern.

Edbland & Co Aluminum Wallchair
First to recommend
Description
Smart and neat folding chair in matt polished aluminum to be mounted on a wall. Available accessories: cover of reindeer skin leather, special order.
I can't say this chair looks terribly comfortable, and you'd have to have a pretty strong wall to support it. But it's a great idea for the right place.
