Maximize every square inch.<\/p>\n<p><b>Multifunctional furniture<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Think double-duty. Invest in an ottoman that can work as a coffee table or extra seating. A trunk can be used as a coffee table as well as extra storage spot for extra blankets and pillows.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hooks, peg boards, magnetic racks\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can&rsquo;t help but put things on display. Utilise the walls for keeping those frequently reached for items close.<\/p>\n<p><b>Storage essentials\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In other words: go undercover. Investing in storage containers (bins, baskets, boxes) is a must. Just be sure to label things properly so you can find them easily.<\/p>\n<p><b>Think console\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>So you don&rsquo;t have a table that can fit that dinner party of 12? Use your imagination. A thin console, which usually stands in your hallway, can be used for serving a buffet-style dinner.<\/p>\n<p><b>Slim side tables (positioned against a wall)<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to consider scale. In other words: don&rsquo;t waste space when not in use. Letting one side rest against a wall, will keep the surface from dominating the space.<\/p>\n<p><b>Room dividers\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Think about screens or bookshelves to separate &ldquo;rooms&rdquo; and create the illusion of multiple spaces.<\/p>\n<p><b>Colour\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bring out the paintbrushes. Colour can add interest to your space while keeping things from feeling boring. And think beyond the walls: furniture (chests and chairs) in fresh shades can keep your style interesting.<\/p>\n<p><b>Break the rules\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There are lots of rules that you can follow when it comes optimizing space. However, if they don&rsquo;t feel right to you (you love Grandma&rsquo;s oversized chair), then don&rsquo;t obey them. Choose to make decorating decisions that will keep your space feeling like home. Your home. And yes, even if you&rsquo;re living in a teeny-tiny space.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how big or small your home is, make sure that the things that you are about are covered.
