If you’re in need of a few more storage spaces, or you’re simply tired of drab walls, these tricks will help you organize and beautify your home.

Fake Built-in Shelving

If you have cubby shelves, give them a flip and watch your space feel roomier than ever. Not only will you be maximizing your storage space, but your eye will also be drawn toward the ceiling, giving your room a taller and larger appearance.

Embrace the Loft

With their space-saving design, loft beds provide a great way to get multiple furniture pieces into a room for your child or teenager. With more sleek designs created for smaller spaces, the loft bed is a trend that even adults can get behind.

Picture or Photo Ledges

A photo ledge may provide extra visual interest and functional storage. Used creatively, photo ledges can be placed in the kitchen to store cutting boards, spices and recipe books. In the bathroom, they can hold a nail polish or makeup collection for easy access and a playful display of color.
