push a table into a more out-of-the-way space whilst not in use. Sliding panel cupboards and tall narrow dressers are also a great way to maximise storage space for all your kitchen appliances and food.
USE THAT CUPBOARD UNDER THE STAIRS
Many British terraced houses come with an oddly shaped cupboard under the stairs which tends to
go underused, apart from the odd boxes and clutter which we don’t want to deal with. Utilise this space by assigning it as a specific storage room, such as a coat and shoe area, a dog food and toy storage space or even a mini wine storage area. This will help you feel like your home is more organised and will free up some space somewhere else.
LIGHT UP YOUR WALLS
Wall mounted lights can be a good design feature for smaller spaces, helping to light up your rooms whilst not taking up much needed table space with lamps.
MAKE THE MOST OF STORAGE
When dealing with a lack of storage spaces we need to be clever. If you have lots of herbs and spices then
try using a spice rack to keep them neat and tidy, and if you have empty wall space add some shelves for mugs, plates jars and kitchen appliances, freeing up counter and cupboard space.
LESS IS MORE
If you want your decorations to be more impactful but not busy? Many people think the solution is to use smaller furniture to fit the small space, however opting for larger, but fewer, pieces will create that impact you want without cluttering the room.
INVEST IN FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE
When possible, pick out more functional furniture, such as beds with storage space underneath, foot stools with a lid and coffee tables with shelves incorporated.
When buying your furniture consider how each piece will improve the functionality of the room. Maybe instead of two smaller coffee tables get one big one, or instead of a large desk get a folding desk which can be packed away after use. Consider what works for you and your home.
