More Life Per M²

Compact Living is about optimising your available space, especially when you live or move into a small home, or co-habit with others.

Here in Britain, we have some of the smallest homes in Europe. In fact, the average floor space of a British home is just 76sq m compared to 137sq m in Denmark, for example. With the average house size continuing to shrink and homeowners prioritising location over square footage, thinking small is becoming increasingly vital. 

Our Studio Partners are experts in optimising space and will be able to advise you about the best solutions to integrate into your home if you want to get smarter with space. These could include sliding doors, audio solutions and clever, concealed storage.  For example, they may suggest replacing your standard doors with sliding, pivot or pocket systems. These use less room than hinged doors, freeing up floor space and maximising a rooms area, whilst still giving you the option to close off areas for privacy, security or comfort.

Here’s a selection of products and solutions that could create more life per M2 in your living space:
