Taking us on a tour of his small, yet surprisingly spacious 420-square-foot apartment, Graham Hill explains how living with less can make you more happy. A miniscule living space can become as high-functioning as a mansion with the use of smart modifications and multi-purpose furniture designs.
Storage is a big issue in a small space and Graham Hill took that into consideration with floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall cabinets with a seamless design, as well as fold-away furniture that allows for larger spaces in smaller rooms. A whole wall shifts to the side to reveal a guest room with two pull-out beds, a sound-proof washroom doubles as a private room and an expandable table seats 10 people comfortably.
Use these tips to make the most of your space when living with less.
