Small Space, Big Style

These four little homes in the big cities of New York, DC and San Francisco provide design inspiration for even the tiniest of spaces. There's modern, mellow and thrift store chic.

Discover how big potential was tapped in these four small spaces. Tour rooms without walls in Miami, recycling taken to a new level in New York, hotel-chic in San Francisco and historic charm in a small package in Philadelphia.

Step inside a tiny New York walk-up with loads of glamour, an Austin loft that doesn't need color, a historic Baltimore row house with modern style and a small Miami apartment right out of a science fiction movie.

From a live-in salon in New York to an upside-down renovation in Los Angeles, these homes prove you can dream big in a miniature space.

Big ideas transform small spaces like a tiny garden cottage in Miami Beach, a Technicolor loft in San Francisco, collections on display in Chicago and automation gone extreme in Austin.

A tiny space goes surfer-modern in Miami, newlyweds enjoy a colorful nest in DC, a San Francisco apartment gets old world style, and minimal space accentuates a huge view in New York.

The smallest spaces are filled with the biggest ideas. Check out a tiny industrial bachelor pad in Miami, built-ins galore in New York City, a simple and sophisticated space in San Francisco and a hidden office in Oakland.

When it comes to these living spaces, small doesn't have to be ordinary. Check out a small pink and green playhouse in Brooklyn, a tiny, transformed row house in Washington, DC, and a multi-functional studio in Virginia.

Visionary small spaces include a downtown Miami loft built around the view, a tiny handmade walk-up in Brooklyn and a high-style convertible condo in San Francisco.

Step inside a whimsical 40s-inspired New York retreat, a rooftop glass house in San Francisco, a city oasis in New York and a Miami condo with moveable walls.

These four small spaces make a huge impact. Check out a white-on-white warehouse in Brooklyn, Spanish gone swanky in Los Angeles, a crafty live/work space in Washington, D.C. and a tiny do-it-yourselfer in Miami.

Andrew Yani visits places that show how to downsize space without sacrificing style, including a tiny yet elegant Miami apartment and a serene and open New York retreat.

Less space means more creativity. Andrew Yani visits a Moroccan on a small scale in New York, a wide open loft in Chicago, a tiny apartment just big enough for two in Florida and panoramic views in D.C.
