Gina Caprari transformed a 200-square-foot, sun-filled micro-studio into a functional, personal home. She maximized vertical space with wall shelves that hold books and meaningful objects. She built a kitchenette using compact furniture and smart organizers. She custom-built a versatile table that functions as a side table, fold-out coffee table, and offers storage. Tall ceilings and bright white walls enhance perceived space. Every item serves multiple purposes to increase utility in a small footprint. Several purchased belongings represent smart small-space investments, including an unusual over-the-tank toilet paper roll holder. The apartment became a symbol of independent living and affordability after more than a decade in the city on an educator's budget.
Nearly every corner of the space has been intentionally designed to maximize space. Wall shelves on several walls hold both books and meaningful options. Gina actually created the little kitchenette out of compact furniture and smart organizers. And she even custom-built and designed a versatile table that serves as a side table and a fold-out coffee table, and even provides storage.
When I come across renters living well in such small spaces, I pay particular attention to the items they've purchased for their home. If it's something they're willing to spend money on and make room for, I tend to consider it a good investment as well. I found quite a few items that Gina had purchased for her home to be smart additions, but there was one item I had actually never seen before, either.
