Style in Small Spaces

We all have them… that small, awkward space in our home that doesn’t fit the mold of a typical room layout. These “cubbies” are often found under stairs, behind counters, or in angled rooms. The oddly shaped area is usually the result of functionality on the other side of the wall. Added bathrooms, winding staircases, and attic rooms are beautiful home design elements. However, the other side of the upgrade is often left small, dysfunctional, and often unused.

Make the most of awkward spaces by giving them a visible purpose and function. Even simple efforts like adding attractive wall-to-wall shelving can create the suggestion of a small office area or cozy library. This new space adds value to your home by maximizing usable space.

“There should be no forgotten spaces in any house… It’s all about square feet,” says Shirin Sarikhani of Seattle Staged To Sell during an interview with Houzz.

There are a variety of ways that we can take advantage of small spaces; converting these nooks into something functional. Consider the advantages of adding a child’s gaming center, sporting equipment storage, or an accent library to a currently unused area!

Creating a cozy little reading nook, is a great way to use the space under a staircase. Adding a bench with built in storage adds even more functionality to the space.

KC Custom Closets has helped many home owners increase their living space by adding features that bring together style and functionality. Here’s a solution we provided for a client who had a small area in her closet that was not being used. Adding attractive storage allowed her to increase her closet space and add a lot of functionality.

Installing hidden compartments and a bench in this breakfast nook provided much needed storage for the home owner. The attractive, stylish design also creates an element of unique design to the room.
