Welcome to Elise’s 300 sq ft micro studio in downtown Toronto, where she shares 15 practical and stylish tips to help you maximize small spaces. Whether you’re living in a tiny apartment or just looking to make your space feel bigger, Elise’s creative solutions and thoughtful design will inspire you to transform your home.

The tour begins with Elise’s renter-friendly tip of using wallpaper on doors to add personality and depth without permanent changes. Mirrors are strategically placed to reflect light and create the illusion of more space, while hanging decor and artwork high up draws the eye upward, making the room feel taller.

Elise’s living area features clear and light-coloured furniture, like a transparent coffee table, to keep the space open and airy. A large, abstract rug ties the room together, and floor-to-ceiling curtains add height, enhancing the sense of space. Her Murphy bed is a game-changer for small living, transforming the bedroom into a functional living area by day.

In the bathroom, over-the-toilet shelves and hooks maximize storage, while oversized art tricks the eye into perceiving more space. Elise’s personal touches—like custom knobs, DIY projects, and unique decor—make the space uniquely hers. From a 3D-printed Roman bust to a pebble bath mat, every detail reflects her creativity and personality.

Elise’s workspace is a compact yet efficient corner, featuring a standing desk and a comfortable chair, proving that even the smallest spaces can be functional and stylish. Her projector setup replaces a bulky TV, offering a cinematic experience without taking up valuable space.

This apartment is a testament to how thoughtful design and clever organization can turn tiny spaces into beautiful, functional homes. Whether you need small apartment ideas, space-saving hacks, or decor inspiration, Elise’s tour offers a wealth of practical tips and creative solutions.
