Take full advantage of every inch of space. A floor level drawer in a vanity can hold hair dyers, curling irons, etc.
Add character to the walls of a boring room with architectural moldings, used on the walls, not only at the ceiling and floor.
In a small space, careful planning of where everything will go is crucial. A big soup pot that can’t fit in any cabinet in your apartment will detract from the beauty of your home.
If you are building in windows seats or dining benches, make sure the seats lift so that there will be storage underneath.
