A Room Space Odyssey

There are a lot of ways to find much more room all more than your house. You just have to let your imagination guide you and it is unlimited. The secret to discovering ever elusive space is occasionally as basic as searching at some thing in a new way.

Living room

• Pull a hallway console table or a dining room sideboard into the living room. Stash everyday items in the drawers and save the top for gorgeous accessories.
• Tuck a large woven basket in an out-of-the-way spot to coral throw pillows and afghans.
• Double-duty furniture like a coffee table with a tray on top frees up the storage space a bulky tray would demand. The tray top lifts off to travel easily to other rooms.

Bathroom

•  An under the sink storage area constructed of basic plywood- covered 2×4’s, then painted, will replace a bedroom vanitym vanity and it will add even more room. The sectioned-off shelves will make organization simple that will prevent the deep pile-up that typically occurs in beneath the sink storage.
• Chrome baskets slide out effortlessly for access to rolled- up hand towels, washcloths, toilet tissue and bath goods.
• A niche cut into the wall for a narrow cabinet and shelves add lots of hiding space but doesn’t intrude into the room.
• Above-counter basins take up much less below the sink space, providing even more storage area below.

Bedroom

• Fill the “dead spots”. Constructed-in window seats make use of odd-sized areas that will offer storage beneath the cushions while delivering a spot to sit and gaze.
• A mantelpiece makes a nifty headboard in a too smaller bedroom. use the top for fairly accessories that will not fit elsewhere in the room.
• Go vertical when there is no horizontal room. Wall-mounted lights will illuminate the room and solve a no-nightstand dilemma. Cords are hidden behind.

Basement

• A speedy way to make a significant change is to cover a bare cement floor with inexpensive, spill-proof vinyl flooring.
• Instead of dropping the ceiling to hide the pipes, paint the existing ceiling and pipes with a heat and cold resistant paint. A vibrant white or neutral is best.
• Ceiling-high units next to the laundry center hold sorting baskets, poles for hanging wash and clear plastic containers for storing other household items.

Office

• A laminated board laid across a filing cabinet at 1 end and anchored to the wall unit at the other becomes an instant desk.
• A closet accommodates a built-to-fit desk and units for the personal computer, printer and scanner keep equipment neat and out of the way.

Kitchen

• A little acrylic pedestal table tucks neatly in a corner and is ideal for speedy meals or a game of cards.
• Keep points all at one level. Mainly because the backs are low, woven-back chairs do not appear chunky and space-invading.
• Leave the windows unadorned and let the sun shine in. – Go for a whiter shade of pale like white cabinets, walls and furniture to visually open up the space.
