Anyone else live in a small space?

Hi I rent a small studio flat. 

I like it, but it does have its challenges, for example I do like clothes, and I am doing a clear out just now, will be selling some of them to make a bit more space in here. I also take DVDs out of their holders and give the empty ones away to whoever wants them and put the DVDs into those DVD wallet books very space saving, I have the whole Star Trek and STNG in just one of the books. 

One thing I feel is that my old school friends all live in big houses or bigger flats, and well I feel that if ever I get around to inviting people up here they might turn their noses up at my wee flat. I do intend on getting a wall up to split it so I get a tiny tiny bedroom and then there will be a cosy small living area. I like the area I am in. And if I lived in London then this would be the norm, as lots of people live in studios in London and in Paris they are seen as chic. I actually decorated mine in a Paris and New York style (New York has lot of Studio Flats). 

Here is a studio flat youtube tour of one of my favourite studio flats (not mine off course)I just like this one:

My flat is bigger, and I feel lucky to have my flat. Small spaces are cosy. 

Just wonder who else has a small space to live in and what you feel are your happy points of points you feel are challenging? Any space saving tips you have to share? 

Just would love a wee natter on here about small spaces.

  • Hi. I live in a supported living flat. It's a one bedroom flat. Just enough for one person to live in, but I don't mind, as I quite like it. I appreciate what I have. My bathroom is more like a washroom. Even though I still have a sink, and a toilet in it, I don't have a shower unit. Just a free-standing shower. I think the builders created our bathrooms like this, so that there is enough space for a wheelchair user, if any decide to move into this apartment building. My bedroom is quite big. My lounge and my kitchen are open plan, so them two rooms aren't big, but like I mentioned, it's enough for me myself to live in. I don't need a lot of space :) I decorate it how I like it, as it's my own place, which is probably the best thing about having my own place.
