Sheila Bridges and guest designer Miles Redd look at small space solutions at the Terence Conran shop in New York City

• Maximize light in a small space with sheer window dressings.
  
• Floor to ceiling treatments give an added illusion of height.
  
• Mirrors reflect light and space, creating an illusion of
  depth.
  
• Capitalize on color. Repeat your color palette on floors, walls and furnishings for a seamless, open look.
  
• Keep furnishings small scale. Look for space-saving and multitasking options.
  
• Choose large-scale pieces with a light, translucent quality. Use them to divide an open space.
  
• Flat screen TVs, mini systems and laptops are ideal for a home that's small but chic.
  
• Washing a wall with recessed light makes a room appear larger. Shadows and contrasts add the illusion of depth.
