I’ve shown many, many small spaces over the years – the majority of which are located in Sweden, but some have been in far away places too, like this tiny home on wheels!  And today I stumbled on another inspirational small space – the studio apartment of Lauren Maclean. Located in Montreal, Canada, Lauren’s home is a mere 500 square foot (46 square metre).  Dramatic high ceilings and beautiful period features provide a striking backdrop for a blend of vintage and mid-century pieces as well as some striking works of art. It really does go to show, that some of the best homes come in small packages, don’t you agree?!

What a great space? The more I look at the pictures, the more I notice! 
I particularly love the one-off vintage pieces, mid-century furniture and lighting (how fab is that Pelle chandelier ceiling light?!). How about you? 
A quick note on where some of the other key pieces are from: art (over desk) by Lysa JordanWishbone chair, modern dresser, sofa by design republic,
You can see more of Lauren’s apartment over on her fab instagram feed, and a full interview here.  
Have a lovely day!
