Making the best use of small spaces in a home is a challenge and can leave you feeling boxed in - constantly looking for places to put things while longing for a more open, uncluttered look. Below are some tips to help you achieve this in your home.
Kitchen and Bath
- Use organization items like a lazy Susan in a corner cabinet to get maximum use of this space.
- Use lighter colors to make the space appear larger.
- Use lighting above cabinets to draw the eye up while creating the illusion of higher ceilings.
- Use open and closed cubbies under a counter to create a workable space.
- Keep grooming essentials out of sight by using existing cabinets or by adding shallow shelving.
Living and Dining Room
- A solid wood file drawer can organize essentials and double as a bookshelf or display table.
- Floor molding can help create a seamless floor to ceiling look making the space look larger.
- Use a storage ottoman to store blankets, movies, and books.
Take these ideas and modify them to fit your living space to create the look you desire.
