Small living spaces in big cities are the norm, which means you’ll need to understand some of the basic design concepts for working with these spaces.

Another important design aspect is the functionality of furniture. Acquire as many pieces of furniture that can pull double duty as possible. Find a kitchen table that can collapse and become a work desk or a bed that can become a sofa.
