Tiny NYC Apartment and 8 Tips for Living Happy in a Small Space

Reset A− A+ J. Michael Moore is an interior designer who lives in New York City and today we’re touring his tiny NYC apartment.

It’s a 225-square-foot studio that he remodeled with crown molding, new paint, decorations, and a sleeping loft.

Moore chose furniture that he could easily move around so he can change his configuration whenever he wants.

The majority of the living space is for hanging out and having friends over while the back portion of it is dedicated to his work.

In the kitchen he was missing counter space to be able to cook but thanks to the open floor plan he was able to add a recycled island to fix this.

Moore added a sleeping loft directly above the kitchen so that he wouldn’t have to worry about having a bed in the middle of the limited space in the studio.

He was able to make it work even though he’s 6’4″ there’s still plenty of space in the kitchen and the sleeping loft.

8 Tips for Living Happy in a Tiny NYC Apartment or Studio

• Be organized with where you put your stuff because it will lead to less frustration
