This small one-bedroom apartment had to think smart in terms of its design. Luckily its interior designer Homme Space built in some useful space-saving tricks so the owner didn't have to moan over its size.
What appears to be a regular dining area has more than meets the eye.
It can actually be folded in and out of the wall depending on the need for the table. Neat, wouldn't you agree?

In the kitchen, wine storage is incorporated into the bar counter.

To enhance the sense of space visually, a horizontal stretch of mirrors is installed between the countertop and top-hung cabinets.

Space-saving options extend even to the spare chairs for when guests come over - only foldable chairs can be afforded, which are hidden away in a slim panel storage door.

In this 1,152 sqfoot condo, William Chan of Spacedge Design built a space-efficient trapezoidal block out of warm Figure Anigre wood at the heart of the unit. What it does is it effectively keeps knick-knacks behind its seamless design, and also conceals the washroom, kitchen and fridge. Genius.
It also hides a pull-out dining table!

This may be a fairly spacious home - being a 4, 600 sqfoot two-storey cluster bungalow - but the owners have not taken its size for granted and planned space-saving furniture all around the house.
A TV screen is mounted on a swivel door that can be made to face the sofa when the door is open, or the closet when closed.

Clever design features such as this tuck-away ironing board add an element of practicality.

The top-floor attic-like space was transformed into a sophisticated walk-in wardrobe, where a swivel door was transformed into an open-concept clothes cabinet.
