When Svetlin Krastev and Dessi Nikolova had their second child, they saw two options: Go broke buying a bigger apartment, or renovate their existing 620-square-foot home. The main living space has to function as both a bedroom and a family room, meaning Krastev and Nikolova make do without a couch. When the family watches TV or reads, they cozy up on the bed or sit on the built-in bench, which also serves as a dining and play area. Photo 11 of 12 in Beautiful Bedrooms by Sara Ost
