Illuminating Experiment
Daytime Arrangement
TRY THIS
Updated 2016-05-26
You may find that the remainder of your space is luxuriously spacious and more than meets your needs.
Here's a suggestion for an experiment you can conduct for a limited time to appreciate more clearly just how little space you really need.
Starting from a corner of your current space (or a window alcove as pictured) see how compactly you can arrange the basics of living space:
- Chair or sofa
- Table
- Bed
- Minimal storage
As you use up vertical space move out of the corner (or alcove). Use your most functional furniture first.
Actually try living with this new arrangement for a limited time, say a week or a month.
Base your future furniture acquisitions (scrounge, make or buy) on this new-found knowledge.
