Small but beautiful - a compact design gem!

A Stair-Landing Shoe Drawer Is a Must When You Live in 430 Square Feet With a Toddler

I recently sat down with Olivia Lidbury, a talented journalist known for her work with Domino, to discuss the intricacies of designing and living in small spaces. Our conversation centred around how to seamlessly integrate life with a young child into a compact and intimate space. Olivia's thought-provoking questions probed beyond surface-level design solutions, delving into my personal preferences, daily routines, and core values.

As a designer, I'm accustomed to asking these types of questions to my clients, so it was intriguing to find myself on the other side of the conversation. The small apartment presented a unique challenge, requiring innovative solutions for storage, lighting, privacy, and socialising. Olivia was particularly amused by some of the quirky solutions I implemented, and her article expertly captures the essence of our discussion.

With her expertise in highlighting charming British houses, whimsical apartments, and design inspiration, Olivia Lidbury skilfully wove our conversation into a compelling narrative. Her writing often focuses on small-space design, showcasing creative solutions for maximising functionality in compact spaces.
