Small-space living tends to lean toward a minimalist design and decor -- simply due to the lack of room -- in an attempt not to create an overbearing interior. But DUS Architects have gone the other way with 'House of Canvas,' a recently renovated house in east Amsterdam that pays homage to the avant-garde artist Karel Appel.
'House of Canvas' incorporates bold colors and efficient uses of space in a fascinating way to create six ingenious studios that are small, but beautiful and uncluttered.
