Good space planning is about flow, not just furniture placement. In compact apartments, every layout decision should serve at least two purposes.
Start with circulation paths
Before placing a single piece of furniture, we map how people will move through the space — circulation paths should never cut through seating or work zones.
Design vertically, not just horizontally
Loft storage, wall-mounted units and tall wardrobes free up floor area while keeping everyday items within reach.
Finally, sliding and pocket doors instead of swing doors can reclaim several square feet in bedrooms and bathrooms alike.
