You can find small house plans, or great small appliances for your small home here!

As we all know, the kitchen is really the heart of the home, and unfortunately it’s also the room that has the most, um, stuff, in it. Stuff isn’t great in a small home, so designing a kitchen that is attractive, functional, and small is always a challenge. I find it difficult to pick out appliances, cupboards, countertops and accessories individually, I get overwhelmed, so I’m loving that more companies are designing entire kitchens that come as a package with everything thought out in detail.

The Touch Tatoo Kitchen from TM Italia, one of my favorite companies, is compact, functional, and stylishly modern. When closed, everything is hidden in compartments. Cabinets and drawers open electronically with just a touch, and doors disappear so they aren’t in the way, important in a small house. The outside and inside are available in different colors so you can customize the kitchen to your decor.

I’m a cuddler and voracious reader, so finding the perfect sofa that is comfortable, stylish, small, and yet functional for a small house is important. The Fat Sofa by Patricia Urquiola reminds me of a chair and a half but without looking too slumpy as some do.

The Fat Sofa can be covered in leather, fabric or a combination so it can fit any decor. I love the soft lines that are still structured, and the modern back is a nice touch.
