2022-07-Innovative Solutions for Micro Living

As the average family size shrinks and housing prices continue to rise due to increasingly limited housing in our densest urban areas, there is an undeniable cultural shift toward smaller, more flexible ways to live. New innovations in furniture design have allowed for efficient layouts and coherent details that provide a high degree of functionality in an apartment, condo, loft, or other micro-living configuration.
