We have always believed that size is indeed relative, and what might be a lavish, generous home for some might seem like a modest, mundane affair to others. A backyard swimming pool is not too different in this regard, as those who actually do not have one often crave at least a small pool that allows them to cool off on a hot summer day. Adding a petite pool to your small backyard need not be a challenging and complex affair, and the result will often leave you amazed, as you will discover a brand new hangout just a few steps away from your living room!

There are walk-ins and then there are these beauties that redefine what it means to own a luxury closet. The only problem? You'll be left full of envy after taking a peek at these rooms, which feature museum-quality shoe storage and a few chandeliers (because, why not?).​



Bright Skylight 
The skylight in the closet provides natural light, making it easier
                             (and more enjoyable!) to pick out an outfit in the morning.

           Shoe Storage
                 A dedicated space for it, which represents the height of luxury (we agree!).

                              High-End Doors                              
 The mirrored panels and hardware in this closet were inspired by the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris.   and the cozy furniture and chandelier are just the cherry on top.

Boutique Touches
When it comes to boutique design, less is certainly more as seen in this closet. That way, you can actually see what you own.



Black and White
Even the most cramped closets can get a boost from wallpaper (or paint).Focusing on one wall to not overwhelm the rest of the space.

 Your bathroom may be the smallest room in the house, but there's no reason why it can't make a splash. We have put together a collection of beautiful small bathrooms from traditional and country, to the modern, wild and wonderful. Whether you are thinking of decorating your downstairs loo or your en-suite, take a look at these small bathroom inspirations.



A built-in shelf is perfect for keeping bathroom knick-knacks to hand and creating a pretty display at the same time. The use of colour and galvanised metal furniture in this bathroom keeps it spring garden fresh. 




Why not make a small bathroom the place where you experiment with the bold colour you're slightly afraid to put elsewhere. 



A pretty pendant light and a wall mounted towel rail are neat final flourishes that are discreet enough to keep this small bathroom looking airy and light. 



lights float on the surface of the mirror like bubbles in a bath. The motif is echoed in the handles of the teal cabinets.




Dark wood decorates the walls, which are inset with art. A big white bath is a lovely contrast to the dark wood. 




You may not be blessed with a huge outdoor space but that's not to say you can't be creative with what you do have. With a little design know-how even the smallest back lawn, the most petite of patios or the tiniest of balconies can become an enjoyable place in which to spend time. Trick the eye with a colour scheme or clever use of lighting, make a feature of foliage, or simply adorn the small space with inviting accessories. Look no further, we have all the small garden ideas you need.

Lighting is the simplest way to create mood in a garden. A few hurricane lanterns or tea lights hung from a tree can add instant romance to a summer's evening. 

Wooden decking and box hedges are an instant winner when it comes to smartening a small space. Add a chic café table and chairs and we couldn't imagine a lovelier spot for breakfast.

For a Palm Beach sunroom, designer Allison Paladino had the walls glazed bright green to capture the light and painted the woodwork white to tone it down. "The sunroom is gutsy, but the room is actually quite relaxing because I restricted the palette," she says.
