In condos and other small homes, Burfiend suggests sticking to a flexible floor plan. Opt for multipurpose spaces, like this media room, where doors can slide open when entertaining. “We often tuck additional ottomans under a sofa console,” the designer says. “They are great for overflow seating during larger gatherings in a smaller space.”
LIGHTING LOWDOWN
“Use opaque shades,” designer Nancy Burfiend says. “The shades keep the light source from reflecting in windows at night, which disrupts the view.”
ARTFUL WONDER
Focus on large-scale artwork. “Filling up a wall with a singular piece adds a powerful yet clean presence in small spaces,” Burfiend says.
NATURAL WONDER
The condo features wood and grass cloth throughout.
