Small Space, Big Ideas

The Living Room  

• Add sparkle and shine. The designers relied on glass and Lucite for tables that don't take up much visual space. The gold mesh curtains and full-length mirror also reflect light, which—despite the dark furniture—keeps the room feeling airy.
  
• Two tiers=more storage "Having spaces within spaces allows you to tuck things away until you need them," says Lauren of the plush ottomans that live beneath the console. Likewise, Amy's bi-level coffee table offers twice as much surface area for stacking books and trinkets.
