This 36.5-sqm unit shows that having a small living space doesn't have to limit one's imagination. In fact, the members of the family who call this compact flat home are avid toy collectors, which just goes to show that having a lot of stuff doesn't keep you from having a stylish and tidy abode, so long as the space is equipped with plenty of creative storage.

In this diminutive unit, it is apparent that the owners put function and practicality first. They chose light colors—mostly white—so their space would appear bigger and it would be easy to match the furnishings. Check out their bright space by browsing through the gallery!
