Designer Tips: Coastal design for small spaces

The guide to designing your small coastal space.

Designing your small coastal space with function and style

1. Paint is an easy way to create an illusion of space by painting the same color throughout. This small coastal cottage kitchen is chic white with big style.

2. Open up your coastal room with a large mirror to reflect light and give the illusion of more space. 

3. Dual purpose furniture such as a sleeper sofa makes your coastal space multifunctional.

 4. Using bench seating in your coastal dining room adds more seating while creating an unobstructed open feeling space.
