When horizontal/floor space is limited, it is critical to make sure you are making the best use of your vertical space. Even if you don’t have exceptionally high ceilings, make sure bookshelves, for example, are proportional. When square footage is limited, also consider floating (mounting to wall) certain pieces of furniture, like a media shelf with your TV mounted above or a desk if you need a workspace in a multi-function room.
