Weekend Reading: Secrets to Happy Small-Space Living

We gleaned some great tips for small-space living from Remodelista’s posts this week. For instance, here are three things you may want to consider if you live in a square-foot-challenged home:

1. Multi-Tasking Products

2. Wall-Mounted Shelving

Ikea Overallt Collection — Above: Like we said in Off the Floor: 5 Surprising Wall-Mounted Storage Ideas for the Bathroom, getting your things off the floor just looks visually neater when you have a small space. We really like these new wall-mounted plywood Overallt shelves from Ikea, in stores this May.

3. Curtains As Partitions
