What are the best practices from Jeremiah Brent for small space design?

Lead with function: Decide the 1–2 main purposes of the room (working, lounging, dining) and let every piece of furniture serve that first. Multipurpose pieces are key.

Edit ruthlessly: Fewer, larger pieces feel calmer than lots of tiny ones. Negative space is a luxury, especially in a small home.

Create visual continuity: Keep a restrained palette, repeat a few materials, and use rugs to define zones without chopping the room up.

Go vertical: Wall-mounted lighting, shelves, and art draw the eye up and free the floor.

Layer softness: Window treatments, rugs, and pillows add warmth so the space feels collected, not cramped.
