14 Japanese Home Ideas That Make Small Spaces Feel Twice as Big

How does a Tokyo apartment the size of a one-car garage hold a living room, a laundry, a bedroom, and a room that officially doesn't exist? Let's walk through one small Japanese apartment together, from the front door to the bed, and look at 14 clever ideas that make a tiny space feel twice as big. From the genkan entryway and tension-pole storage to the factory-built unit bath born for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the toilet with a sink on top, sliding shoji doors, the kotatsu, the oshiire closet, the loft, and the tatami room that turns from a living room into a bedroom every single night. Some of these ideas are centuries old, and a few you could easily try in your own home this weekend. Which idea would you steal first? Tell me in the comments.
