It’s a common dilemma: how to make a tiny space feel luxurious, functional, and reflective of your personal style, not just cramped. While a large room may seem easier to tackle, the truth is that limited square footage often inspires the most ingenious design solutions. When done well, a small kitchen feels uniquely tailored – a true reflection of the owner and the house's character.
The kitchen, arguably the most functional and visually demanding room, is one of the hardest to get right in a compact format. American actress Sarah Paulson's kitchen, designed by interior expert Amy Kehoe, offers a perfect case study in maximizing what you have. Paulson, a former New Yorker who’s used to tight living, transformed her petite Los Angeles home – reportedly no bigger than a typical New York one-bedroom – into a star attraction, thanks to Kehoe’s knack for making small room ideas feel luxurious.
