Elise's 300 sq ft micro-studio in downtown Toronto proves small living doesn't mean sacrificing style. She leans on clear acrylic furniture and mood lighting to keep the space feeling open, a wallpapered front door for a renter-friendly pop of character, and a Murphy bed that transforms the room from bedroom to entertainment space in seconds. A standing desk by the window supports her work-from-home routine, while a compact kitchen and a balcony overlooking the Toronto skyline round out this colourful, highly functional studio.
