People are moving into smaller spaces. If you are choosing to downsize, cutting costs to save money, or moving into your dorm for the first time, living in a tiny space doesn’t have to be stressful.

We generally have enough room to store all of our things, but we fail to find creative ways to efficiently downsize. You don’t have to be organizationally savvy to find ways to design your new space because there are plenty of things on the market to give your space a fresh new and practical look. Scroll through to see how you can make your space feel bigger by making a few simple changes with your furniture.
