Spacing Issues

Do you have an area in your home that you can't seem to figure out what to do with?  Don't let it turn into unused space.  

If it's a large space, divide it up into smaller "rooms" with each "room" serving a purpose.  For example, carve out a library or reading nook, set up a home office in a corner, put together a space for crafts, or even create a small yoga or art studio.  

If the room is small, be sure to use furnishings that fit the space.  Forget about the overstuffed sofa if only a chair or two will fit.  Use round furnishings in hard corners or place plants strategically.  To give the illusion of space, use glass tops for tables.  Also, curtains that run floor to ceiling create height and flow in small spaces.

Other considerations:  paint an "odd" wall a different color, and use it to showcase art or photos; in unusual shaped or sized rooms, an area rug in the center will help draw the eye to the middle of the room, taking the focus off the shape or size of the room.
