Cozy Small Spaces & Apartment Ideas

Small spaces have a head start on cozy — they just need warmth, soft light and a little editing.

A small space becomes cozy, not cramped, when you lean into warmth: a rug to define a zone, a lamp in every corner, and textiles that soften hard edges. Renters welcome — most of these ideas leave no marks.
