Filling Empty Corners
We all have that one corner or space in our home that we have no idea what to do with! Here are some ideas to fill up those empty corners and make the best use out of them:via dominoExtra seating is always an option! A simple chair can fill up a corner without adding too much clutter.An unexpected space to work! I love this custom style desk for someone who maybe doesn’t like the look of a traditional work space.
via avestylesI love a simple plant to fill a corner. It’s a great way to add a fresh touch to a room without much work!
via designlovefestShelving can add a great touch to a corner, especially for those who could use a little extra storage.

Let’s Gather Around the Table
There has been some discussion lately on what tables are coming next. The farmhouse table has been a huge hit and stayed for quite some time, but it looks like round tables are coming back!For a more formal look, you would think a rectangular table would be the choice, but you might be surprised that a round table can be formal too!In some rooms it actually helps with the floor plan and flow of the room.Some rooms just weren’t made for rectangles or squares! With a round table it’s easier to get closer. You can scoot in a chair and get cozy unlike the other’s where you’d be stuck with a corner.They also look great in eat in kitchens!Which kind of table do your prefer? -
Ideas for Creating More Space
For those of us who lack square footage, we just need to get creative with the space we have. Some people would say you need more space, I say you need to think outside the box!Use light bright colors to make the room feel more open and inviting.Create a loft if you can for additional square footage.Make a two person table space have room for more with a couple of bench seats.Skinny spaces don’t have to be impossible. Choosing the right items like a skinny sink and toilet make this less cramped.Don’t have room for seating and tables? This console gives you a place to set your drink without losing a ton of square footage and creating weird walkways just to get to the couch.A desk doesn’t have to be large to be functional. A little corner table can do just fine.Don’t be afraid to think outside the box! -
Decorating a Skinny Hallway
It’s the smallest places that we sometimes struggle decorating, but what about the impossible skinny ones? Here’s some inspiration to get your mind going on how you can successfully decorate those impossible places.

via jennasuedesignIf you need a little more storage, you can find skinny cabinets created just for these skinny hallways!

Small Spaces done right
It’s difficult to create a roomy feel when you are limited on square footage. Here are a few examples of different spaces that I think are done well for limited space.A bedroom doesn’t have to be large to be glamorous. You also don’t need a lot in a bedroom to make it a bedroom! A bed and a side table will do just fine since this is a room for sleeping. Keep is simple with a touch of your personality to make it homey.Laundry rooms can be extravagant or simple but making the most of the space you have is what makes it stand out. This simple closet doesn’t look like much but it has everything you need.An office doesn’t require a room, a little nook or corner will do just fine! I love when paint is used to separate a space like this. Keep it simple and clutter free so it doesn’t matter where in the home it is!Closets are so personal. Everyone has different priorities for them and different needs whether it’s shelving, hanging space, or shoe storage! When the closet is small sometimes you can feel limited to how you can design it to fit your needs, but this picture proves that you still can!Sometimes a dinning room room table or a kitchen table aren’t a necessary! If you don’t have a large family, a dinning room might be a waste of space. This kitchen nook is perfect for small spaces and the extra storage on the side is a great bonus.Powder rooms tend to be small, but what do you do if you have a tiny powder room? This one is done so well! With a skinny sink to give youroom to walk and a bold pattern behind the toilet, this space looks well designed even though it’s super small! -
Necessary Nooks
Everyone needs a spot in their house where they can “get away” from it all. My favorite homes have little nooks and cranny’s where you might not originally know what to do with the space, it may just become the perfect oasis!
