Small Spaces

Hi, I’m Niklas – the developer of Small Spaces. My goal is to make a game that puts you into a creative flow without you even noticing. And a lot of the player feedback has been exactly that. So, if you’re looking for a relaxing game to take your mind off stressful thoughts, Small Spaces might be just the creative escape you were looking for :)
What can you expect?
Shape the space your way
Turn the small spaces fully upside down with your creativity! Modular kitchens? Loft apartments? Find smart solutions and design unique spaces that are functional and beautiful. Add indirect lighting, plants and more to decorate and personalize your space down to the smallest detail.
Inspired by real places
On Early Access start, you’ll design in 3 different locations:


New York – raw industrial factories and warehouses turned into gorgeous loft apartments with high ceilings and expansive windows.


Berlin – historic apartments with the typical 1900 european charm and beautiful bay windows. Think vintage charm meets quiet elegance.


Tokyo – mid-century inspired simplistic apartments with sliding doors and sometimes warm concrete wall finishes.


Together, these offer 9 apartments, each with a distinct layout and creative feel. More locations and styles will be added throughout Early Access.
Stories that guide
Every space has its own objectives, story and people who live there – ranging from a student in a shared flat to a couple sharing their first apartment together. The objectives inspire to design spaces that are not only pretty, but also practical and give you just enough inspiration to get started while not restricting your creativity.
Carefully crafted high quality assets
The game already features more than 500 furniture and decor items inspired by different styles – including comfy scandinavian beds, unique modern japanese lamps and decoration items from a record player to sewing utensils.
I truly care about original art and all of the beautiful illustrations in the game are hand drawn from an illustrator.
Walk through your creations in first person
Switch to a first-person view to experience your design from the inside – like someone who actually lives there and view your creations as the sunlight shifts from crisp morning to warm golden hour to cozy nighttime with the glow of the indirect lighting you set up.
Unlock new content as you play
You start out with just a portion of tools and furniture at your hand and unlock new content as you complete objectives. Get new materials from stone terrazzo to various wood types and unlock new tools to build loft apartments, modular kitchens or wall panels. The more you create, the more options you gain.
I recommend buying this game if:


You play life sims mostly for home design


You like relaxing games that spark your creativity


You’re a design lover or architecture nerd


It might not be for you if:


You want to design floor plans from scratch – we’re building a creative mode where you can build your own layouts, but as of now you furnish existing apartments.


You’re expecting to import your own models or textures – that kind of freedom isn’t in the game (yet!)
