MAXIMIZING SMALL SPACES

Make the most out of the small spaces in your home or apt by taking a look at that unused garage or attic space. These spaces can usually be converted into almost any type of livable room.
Even if you are not ready to do a complete remodeling project, you can always add cutout bookcases or built in cabinets to maximize the available amount of floor space.
There are many ways to reorganize remodel or redecorate small rooms to make them in to spaces that add charm to the entire house. A glass top table can make a small kitchen seems cozier or try a drop leaf or buffet table instead of a regular sized dinner table.

To expand the visual imagery of a room place a mirror on a wall where it can bring a view of the outdoors inside. Blending the overall decorating theme into the flooring and paint will tie each room into the feel of the whole house.
