As we downsize our residences, lighting plays an integral part. After the furniture layout is done, look at how lighting will add style and illumination. Look at the finishes and the current trends and ask, “What will add function and style to the space?”

Making Small Spaces Shine

Fun, yet sophisticated. Classy but edgy. Interior designer Tina Wolff uses those adjectives to describe both this Clayton home and its owner. “She’s well traveled, and she has an art collection that reflects who she is,” Tina says of the homeowner. “She also likes a dab of bling, so all of those things together make the home and her style eclectic and interesting.”

When designer Kathy Israel first sits down with a client, her top priority is getting a clear picture of how the family lives before devising a plan that fits their lifestyle and day-to-day needs. As owner and principal of the award-winning Accent on Cabinets Design Group, whose client list stretches nationwide, she passionately believes that the little things can turn an ordinary project into something spectacular.

If Beatrix Potter’s charming characters from the English countryside were to vacation in the United States, they would undoubtedly make a stop in Lauren Knight’s University City garden.

When working with a smaller space, an office, apartment or even your very own tiny home, it can seem difficult to add plants into the mix. But with some careful planning, you can transform your space into the plant haven of your dreams.
