Living in a small home on a compact plot doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or comfort. With clever design, small houses can feel open and inviting. Here are 41 ideas to maximize tiny homes and small plots:

1. Install large windows and skylights to draw in natural light. Opt for double height ceilings to create an airy feel.
2. Use a flexible open layout for the living room, kitchen, and dining area. Skip hallways and doors.
3. Build a multifunctional furniture piece like a storage bench, folding table, or Murphy bed to save space.
4. 
5. Add visually lightweight furniture like clear acrylic or glass-topped pieces to maintain an uncluttered look.
6. Create the illusion of more space with mirrors, glossy surfaces, and bright paint colors like white.
7. Go vertical with wall-mounted desks, shelves, bike racks, and other storage solutions.
8. Use pocket doors, barn doors, or sliding doors to save space. Draw the eye upwards.
9. Convert the attic into extra living space with a loft bed, office, playroom or guest room.
