About Emma — Small & Styled

Hi, I'm Emma Cooper.

Brooklyn-based interior designer and writer. Pratt BFA, currently freelance after five years at a downtown studio. Lives in a 380 sqft studio that doubles as her testing ground for everything she writes about. Believes small spaces deserve real design — not just clever storage hacks.

What you'll find here

Aesthetic-first interior design for the 300–700 sqft crowd. I'm interested in what happens when Pinterest's biggest 2026 trends — Cool Blue, FunHaus, NeoDeco, Color-Forward Maximalism — meet a 380 sqft floor plan and a renter's lease. Spoiler: most of it works better than you'd think.

Small spaces aren't a problem to solve. They're a discipline. Constraints make you choose well.
