Interior Design – How To Live Large In A Small Condo

Discover designer Melissa Davis’s brilliant small space decorating secrets!

When Melissa downsized to a condo for her and her son, she didn’t go the typical small space decorating route. Instead, she relied on large furniture to anchor the space and an open-concept floor plan to create great flow. A large dining table that seats 10 has additional seating that doubles as storage. A big sofa centers the living room, while collected art decorates the space throughout. Both bedrooms are kept simple, leaving space to evolve over time. The result is a condo that has all the comforts of a house.

That wall kitchen is a blessing in disguise. Good for you.

Bedrooms look so unique, especially your sons' bedroom. I loved the dinning room concept.

Outstanding job here. Modern, clean, sophisticated. I am especially amazed how well this designer utilizes this space. One of the best in HH.

What a great great space. Really love all of her style and that it's casual, child friendly and even lush in how comfortable it looks.

This is an example of how excellent taste and design can save a condo from looking tight and boxed in.

I really love this! Creative, light (bright), and fun! Makes 600 square feet look like a million bucks — which is probably what it costs in Toronto! 🤦‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️😬🕵🏽

This is an incredible space. I could very happily see myself living there though maybe not with kids. Love the long table with the bench along the wall. It's a really practical storage/seating/space solution.

I always love hearing from the homeowners. They're so much more honest and interesting than the designers who just list off buzzwords. I really like what she says about it being an evolving space. It's something to aspire to and more realistic than the show homes in a lot of videos.
