We all have one. That awkward area of our home that we don’t quite know what to do with. All too often, this area is left empty and underutilized, or we overstuff this space with clutter and decoration and render it unusable all the same.
Here are 5 ideas to turn that tricky space in your home into a beautiful and practical space:
Under the Stairs
Due to its awkward shape, the area under the stairs can quickly find itself as the epicenter of the clutter in your home. If you are limited on space, this is a great spot to implement creative storage. Or, turn it into a cozy nook to curl up and listen to a great podcast.
2. Living Room
Transform that small corner of your living room into a comfy reading nook. Not everyone may be able to fit around the TV, so why not create a space that is set apart from the noise and chaos. A mini sanctuary, if you will.
If the area in question is near a window, this can be an opportunity to create a cozy window alcove.
3. Kitchen
Between your kitchen cabinetry and the ceiling, or even between your cabinets, there is often dead space. This is a great place to display any beautiful dishes or pottery that you don’t use but couldn’t bear to part with.
4. Closets
While this may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of tricky underutilized spaces in your home, the closet is a challenging space that, if left without proper organization, can quickly become chaotic and cluttered. Turning your closet into a more functional space can be painless with creative storage.
5. Entryways/Mudrooms
The entryway and mudroom of a home are typically one of the most underutilized rooms and likely a popular source of clutter. If you have a cramped entryway, integrating creative storage solutions can be an effective way for you to maximize on the space you have and reduce the clutter.
