About Hey Small Space

Every day, we hear from people who've transformed their tiny apartments, compact studios, and cozy homes into spaces they absolutely love. Some share their clever storage hacks, others send photos of their maximized spaces, and many ask: "How do I make the most of what I have?"

That's exactly why Hey Small Space exists.

Who We Are

Hey Small Space is your go-to resource for making small spaces work beautifully. We're a team of space optimization enthusiasts, product testers, and design lovers who believe that limited square footage shouldn't mean limited style or functionality.

Our diverse team brings together interior design expertise, practical DIY experience, and real-world small space living. We've lived in studio apartments, transformed tiny bedrooms, and optimized every corner imaginable. We understand the challenges because we've faced them ourselves.

What We Do

At Hey Small Space, we specialize in three core areas:

1. Product Reviews & Recommendations

We rigorously test and review space-saving furniture, multi-functional pieces, and clever storage solutions that actually fit in small spaces. Not those oversized items that look great in showrooms but overwhelm a 300 sq ft apartment.

From compact recliners and wall-mounted desks to under-bed storage and vertical organizers, we only recommend products we'd use in our own small spaces.

2. Space Optimization Guides

We create detailed guides on maximizing every inch of your space. Learn how to:

• Choose furniture with the right scale and proportion
• Utilize vertical space without making rooms feel cluttered
• Create zones in open-plan layouts
• Implement smart storage solutions that hide clutter
• Maximize natural light to make spaces feel larger

3. Real Solutions for Real Budgets

Unlike luxury design sites featuring $5,000 sofas, we focus on practical, affordable solutions. Quality small-space furniture doesn't have to break the bank. We hunt down the best value options, budget-friendly alternatives, and clever DIY projects.

Small space living isn't about compromise—it's about smart choices.

Our Review Process

When we review products, we evaluate them specifically for small space living:

• Dimensions Matter: Will it actually fit through a narrow doorway? Can it navigate tight corners?
• Multi-Functionality: Does it serve multiple purposes to justify the space it occupies?
• Storage Integration: Does it include hidden storage or maximize vertical space?
• Visual Weight: Does it make a small room feel cramped or does the design create breathing room?
• Quality vs. Price: Is it worth the investment for small space dwellers?

Why Small Spaces?

Whether you're living in a studio apartment by choice or necessity, downsizing for financial freedom, or simply trying to make a spare room functional, small spaces present unique challenges and opportunities.

We believe that thoughtful design, the right products, and clever optimization can turn any compact area into a space you love. A well-designed 400 sq ft apartment can feel more comfortable than a poorly planned 1,200 sq ft house.

How We Keep the Lights On

Hey Small Space is completely free to use. All our reviews, guides, and optimization tips are accessible to everyone.

We sustain ourselves through affiliate partnerships. When you purchase products through our links, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This allows us to continue testing products, creating content, and helping more people make their small spaces work. Read our full disclosure.

Important: We only recommend products we genuinely believe in. If something doesn't work well in small spaces, we won't feature it—no matter how lucrative the commission.
