WHAT'S YOUR… 1. ACCESSORIES ADVICE Mix in metals and fun, shiny pieces to animate a space. This paperweight is pyrite—even the little things count. 2.

BARBARA KING: One of your dogs blends with the throw, the other matches the ottomans, and your clothes and hair harmonize with the whole room. RITA HAZAN: Black, white, gold, neutral—that's the palette that makes me comfortable. Nate Berkus was my decorator. We met on The Oprah Winfrey Show—he did home makeovers, I did hair makeovers—and he said, 'I know what you like. We're going to do your apartment to look like how you dress.' Dare I ask if you chose dogs that complement your decor? Ha, no! Señor and Chico are Havanese, good house dogs that are friendly and hypo allergenic. But also, of course, beautiful. Beauty is very important to you. It's always on my mind. I have a beauty salon on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and…

"I love to entertain, but I work a lot and live in an apartment, so I don't always have the time or space to cook for parties. When I have friends over, I often order takeout—but that doesn't mean I sacrifice the glamour of a dinner party. We eat around my ginormous five-foot-by-five-foot coffee table, and I pull out my best china, balancing it with little tchotchkes that match the theme. Here, Baccarat crystal butterflies function as stands for chopsticks that cost a few dollars a pair. I mixed Bernardaud plates—I love the cupped-hand motif!—with ceramic bowls and soup spoons I picked up at Pearl River, a fun source for inexpensive odds and ends near Chinatown. I always incorporate fruits and vegetables into my table schemes. Having food already on…

SMALL APARTMENTS AND little houses are microcosms of design and decorating ideas that can be equally useful for rooms of any size. In fact, homeowners with space to spare often face a challenge when it comes to furnishing sprawling family or great rooms, because what we all really crave are cozy places where we feel embraced. So when designing a big room, think of it as a collection of smaller spaces. It's the nooks and niches, the intimate arrangements of furniture, that make well-designed rooms special, regardless of their proportions. In this issue, we explore little—even tiny—rooms where designers have applied practical and stylish decorating tricks in apartments that are all under 1,000 square feet. Most of these tips work across many aesthetic styles, and these creative ideas are not…

Designer Matthew White loved the 18th-century floor in his Venetian living room, but modern interventions like interior windows seemed awkward, so he hung fabric over the walls to hide them. The sofa and chairs are slipcovered in Rubelli linen and accented with pillows from Venetia Studium. White and his business partner, Frank Webb, designed the acrylic end tables, available through Donghia. They're topped with vintage English glass lamps. A Venetian glass vase by Seguso stands on the White-designed coffee table. LEFT: The Grand Canal. CHRISTINE PITTEL: You're living my fantasy—a pied-à-terre in Venice. How did this happen? MATTHEW WHITE: I've always loved Venice—anybody with eyes falls in love with Venice! I enjoy the history, the art, the architecture, and the food. It may be a cliché to say, but there's…

A Louis Philippe mirror hangs over an antique table fitted with Ronbow's vessel sink for a timeless look. Margaux faucet by Sigma. Wallpaper by Black Crow Studios. Soho marble tiles from Exquisite Surfaces. Wainscoting in Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo in Sail Cloth. CHRISTINE PITTEL: What is that gorgeous striated stone on the walls? AMY MEIER: It's not stone. It's wallpaper. This house is on Coronado Island, opposite San Diego, and the beach is just outside the door. If you started to dig in the sand, you'd see these layers of sediment in black, white, and cream. That's how I wanted the walls to look. That was the root of the design. Where did you find wallpaper to duplicate that? I had it made, by Tracy Hiner at Black Crow Studios.…

1. "This silver-covered shell by Buccellati was a wedding gift many years ago that has followed me from place to place. It finally found its perfect spot in our home in the Bahamas." ALESSANDRA BRANCA 2. "I am a collector of heart-shape rocks and have picked them up on beaches around the world. I love the sense of place each one carries with it. They aren't easy to find, so it makes the hunt an adventure and the prize that much sweeter!" MOLLY LEUTKEMEYER 3. " These rare pewter toy soldiers were made in Germany in 1785. Their miniature size just adds to their charm." MATTHEW PATRICK SMYTH 4. "I have a big collection of these little delftware houses that KLM gives out as souvenirs in business class. They…

"This is a small space off the family room that we set up for the kids to do their homework. Yellow is not a color I use much, but this is a gentle yellow, more like straw. It's fun for the kids but it doesn't look juvenile. Shelves show off their artwork, and we covered a bulletin board in bright fabric. When the mirrored doors are open, it's chic and surprising." SUZANNE KASLER GLIDDEN PREMIUM COLLECTION CRISP GINGER ALE GLY24 "I think powder rooms should be like jewelry boxes—a tiny space that gives you a precious experience. This purple with an undertone of red would make it feel as if you'd lined the room in velvet. Add a Chinese red-lacquer vanity with a polished marble top, a gilt mirror, and…

"This bird-shape table by François-Xavier Lalanne is one of my most favorite things! His wings fold down, and he's got a berry in his mouth, which to me symbolizes abundance and well-being. And those feet!" JOHN OETGEN "I rearrange the items on this mirrored table daily, except for the book, Helmut Newton's Sumo, which came with the Lucite base—it's only moved for dusting. The feathers are the last remnants of an over-the-top floral arrangement." SCOTT SALVATOR "I designed this glass-and-brass piece out of a desperate need for chic storage for my ever-growing book collection. It's solid, but it looks light. And j'adore that lower shelf!" MADELINE STUART "I don't have many vices, but the top of my table will tell you that I'm addicted to books and fresh…

"FURLOW HAD BEEN EYEBALLING THE Cuthbert House, a mid-19th-century Gothic Revival dwelling located in nearby Cuthbert, Georgia, for decades. But it wasn't until 2007, when he learned that it was about to be demolished by the local Methodist church to make way for a parking lot, that he went into action. Clearly, he's mystified by the congregation's logic: 'There are only about 25 members,' he says in his inimitable deadpan. 'Surely they could have parked on the street.' But the church's disinterest in the building's gorgeous architecture was Furlow's great gain. As soon as the house made the 65-mile journey—in two major pieces—and was set into its new concrete foundation, Furlow and his über-talented builder, Jimmy Fuller, got to work. 'It was pretty much there,' says Jimmy, meaning that the…

Peter Dunham lives large in his tiny Los Angeles apartment. To lend softness to the living room, he used a milk-paint formula from SafePaint on the walls—White with 10 percent Barn Red—and hung curtains and shades in Isfahan from his Peter Dunham Textiles collection. The Danish sofa is upholstered in Lamu, also from his fabric line. Jute rug, Decorative Carpets. Custom ottoman in a vintage cowhide. BARBARA KING: What an about-face you have made, going from a 3,500-square-foot house to a 550-square-foot apartment. Why the drastic change? PETER DUNHAM: I had a midlife crisis and a breakup with my partner. I was feeling quite vulnerable, and I needed to move somewhere that was emotionally manageable for me, where I could get my life sorted out again. I happened to see…

SMALL SPACE BIG STYLE In this Manhattan living room, walls painted to resemble awning stripes create a backdrop that's just as interesting as the eye-popping shots of color and the owner's collection of contemporary art. The console is lacquered in Benjamin Moore oil-based high gloss in Yellow; walls are in Benjamin Moore Ultra Spec 500 in White stone and Gull Wing Gray. Designer Nick Olsen covered the cushions on Chinese chairs with a vintage Yves Saint Laurent fabric. Spoon-back chair in Clarence House's Vesuvius. The entry triples as a dining area and library. To unify the irregular proportions of the space, Olsen used Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac Brilliant in Tulip Red for the ceiling and walls. A trio of Louis XVI–style side chairs covered in leather adds a touch…

"A room with too many high notes is cacophonous. One with too few falls flat." JEFFRY WEISMAN (LEFT) "The best rooms have strong ideas supported by quiet moments." ANDREW FISHER ABOVE: In Fisher and Weisman's San Francisco living room, the chairs move around all the time to facilitate frequent soirees. Antiqued-mirror panels add glamour and reflect candlelight.

"My ADDISON WEEKS LAPIS BENDALL CUFF [$280] is gorgeous and so dramatic. It was made by good friends of mine, and every time I wear it, I think of them." "My vanity is part of a whole closet system my husband built in our bedroom. I'm always hunting for new treasures, and I like mixing humble, rustic elements with richer, more luxurious ones. The little white basket was a flea-market find—it holds my bangles. The mirror is one I made, based on a beautiful French mirror I saw once at an auction. The tissue box and ginger jar are my designs, too—I like how they add a graphic punch." "I only put ESSIE E-NUFF IS E-NUFF [$8] on my toes—I use my hands too much to keep my fingernails covered.…

Every summer, mostly in July, I visit the Hamptons, on Long Island, New York. The beaches are great, and there's always lots happening, but one of my very favorite things about this time of year there is all the wonderful produce. A zillion roadside farm stands sell local corn, tomatoes, summer squash, peaches, melons, fresh herbs, and on and on, and it is all nothing short of sensational. Last year I was invited to a friend's house for lunch, and while I was on my way, my phone rang: "We have some great burrata from the city—get some things to go with it." You know burrata. It's that rich, fab Italian cheese made from cream and mozzarella. I stopped at the closest stand to grab some heirloom tomatoes, gorgeous peaches,…

"It all started with the windows," says designer Juan Carretero. Prewar metal casements lend his Manhattan one-bedroom a midcentury modern grandeur that belies its modest 700 square feet. In the living room, Carretero echoed a view of evergreen ivy with the mineral green of malachite objects. The curves of Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs, a shop-mannequin torso, and a cowhide rug soften architectural angles. OPPOSITE: Contrasting paint finishes divide the chocolate-brown dining area from the adjacent faux-malachite kitchen. The Thom Filicia sofa beside the antique scroll-arm chair is long enough to double as a guest bed. Carretero says, "In small spaces, you have to go with some large pieces. A mix of big and small keeps things interesting." Urn lamps from Visual Comfort strike a note of classical symmetry atop Robb…

RIGHT: A top photo stylist in New York and currently the head stylist at e-retailer One Kings Lane, Andrew Stewart transformed a client's "big white box," as he calls the original apartment, into a youthful, cozy, multifunctional home. The console—which, like many of the furnishings, came from One Kings Lane—and Ocelot wallpaper by Farrow & Ball help establish the nook inside the front door as its own entryway. The studio has only two windows, but the big wall mirror brightens up the space. 1. USE ALL AVAILABLE SPACE—EVEN THE WALLS Stewart mounted the Samsung TV on a swing-arm device, eliminating the need for a bulky media center. It swivels to face the bed and pushes back flush when not in use. Sconces by the bed free up space on the…
