Inside a Micro-Apartment That's Packed With Small-Space Decorating Ideas

When architect Graham Hill was faced with the challenge of gut renovating then decorating a 350-square-foot apartment, he didn't groan or stress as many New Yorkers would—he jumped at the opportunity to get creative. The founder of LifeEdited, a website dedicated to small-space design, minimalism, and eco-friendly living, completely reimagined the SoHo micro-apartment and has just listed it for sale for $750,000.

A tour of the space reveals a glimpse at the home of the future. Despite its size, the multifunction apartment includes a guest room, home office, and a seated area for up to 10 people. Curtains act as movable partitions, a fold-out bed can be tucked away when not in use, and every kitchen, closet, and bathroom drawer is designed to maximize storage. Take a peek at Hill's master micro-apartment, a lesson in smart, serviceable small-space design. 

The seating area can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. 

Shelves act as a bar or workspace. 

A fold-down bed transforms this room into a snug space to sleep. 

Fold-down shelves can be used as a standing workspace. 

Mirrors and penny tiles make the small bathroom appear much more spacious. 

The apartment is packed with hidden storage. 

Even the fire escape is styled to be used. 

Though small, the all-white kitchen includes an oven and fridge. 

The fridge is cleverly concealed with matching cupboard doors to blend away. 

There's even space for a dishwasher. 

The well-designed closet includes railing that extends out so that all items are accessible. 

Drapes sub-divide the room to create an intimate space. 

Custom cabinets mean that every inch of storage is put to good use. 

The bedroom is surprisingly spacious and has two nightstands which fold-out from the wall. 

Fold-out nightstands are a great use of space. 

The bed can be folded away when it's not in use.
