A lot of us have small spaces that are sometimes difficult to use to max. Check out these tips to get the most out of your small spaces...
5. Color Pop
We all know to avoid using dark colors in small spaces, but that does not mean everything has to be white from floor to ceiling either. Add in pops of bright colors to not only add character, but help your space appear larger.
4. Convert Unused Space
Do you have a closet or alcove that is unused (or poorly used)? Pop those doors off and convert it to a nook or usable space. I love the reading nook, but if you are in need of a more practical space the office conversion is brilliant.
3. Utilize ALL Space
Make sure that you are using all of the space available to you. There is oftentimes extra space at the top of your stairs. Utilize that landing to fit your needs! I love the extra shelving in the space above.
2. Maximize Your Storage
Transform your forgotten store space. Under-stair storage is one of the most valuable assets for your home, but is usually forgotten. Utilizing this space will create more actual living space for you when you are able to relocate your items to this fancy storage space.
1. Delineate Space
This is the most important tip: Delineate your space appropriately. If you have a larger space that isn't working for you, use shelving (or a curtain) to separate the spaces into smaller spaces that better suit your needs. Larger is only better if it works; if it doesn't, don't be afraid to change it.
I hope you find these tips useful -- good luck!
