While many of Castlery's furniture designs are showcased in enviably expansive spaces, if you're decorating something completely different (read: small, cramped, squishy), don't rule the retailer out: some of its strongest pieces are also its savviest. Armless silhouettes, compact proportions, clever materials, and accent pieces that also conceal storage — Castlery's furniture can be a surprisingly adept ally for small-space living.
And how do I know? I spoke with London-based interior designer Juliana Custers, who had — conveniently — just wrapped up a job where she'd specified pieces from Castlery's range. Her best advice? "Embrace the size of the room, and don’t shy away from using full-scale pieces," she says. "Small spaces don’t need to be filled with miniature furniture to work well — in fact, that often does the opposite. A well-chosen, full-size piece can ground the room and give it confidence, rather than making it feel apologetic."
