Double Duty Piece
Pieces that do double duty are so great for small spaces. This piece below, a bookcase turned on its side with a cushion on top, doubles both as a place to store favorite books as well as extra seating. So clever!

Stylish Storage: Silver Painted Baskets
Check out this beautiful entryway from the home of Catherine of The Life Styled:
She uses pretty baskets to stylishly store and keep shoes and dog toys out-of-sight.
They’re actually a fairly easy DIY project with a total cost per basket of less than $35. Learn how to make your own here!

Walk-in closet in a mini bedroom
An old fave from domino. This is such a great idea for a small room with no storage. A loft bed leaves leftover room underneath for a closet system to organize clothes and accessories. Fabric on the loft’s undercarriage and custom curtains dresses things up. Every inch is maximized and the space feels serene and clutter free.
Entryway Solution: Basket for Shoes & Slippers
Sometimes inevitably shoes end up in the entryway. If you don’t have a closet to hide them behind, a solution for keeping it from looking too messy, is to have a beautiful basket for them:
If you have a no shoes in the house rule, you can also fill the basket with slippers to encourage guests to remove their shoes upon entering.

Concealed Office Storage
Like the idea of concealing office storage (and injecting some color into the space!) with a beautiful curtain:

a graphic statement with storage boxes
Stylist Rebecca Omweg took plain, inexpensive cardboard bankers boxes and created not just a great storage solution for her space, but also a graphic statement. I love that the uniformity creates a clean and streamlined look. The boxes are placed atop wall mounted shelves and labeled with stenciled numbers. A master list details what’s inside each one so things are accessible and easy to find.

Bathroom Shelving
Adding shelves in the bathroom can be a great small space solution. They allow you to maximize storage by utilizing vertical wall space, and they provide a great spot for extra towels, soaps, toilet paper, other bath products, and decorative objects:

Concealed Bedroom Storage
The newest issue of House Beautiful, particularly the above bedroom by designer Barry Dixon, reminded of a great space solution: built-ins surrounding the bed and hidden behind beautiful curtains.
The above bedroom is by designer Adrienne Neff. She used California Closets custom units to create one side with hanging rods and drawers below, plus a tie rack; and the other side with shelves and vertical hanging space for dresses. Shelves above the bed provide a space for off-season clothing. The side storage is concealed with felt cutains suspened from a track, while the shelves above the bed are concealed with a linen-blend roman shade. The custom headboard, the rich chocolate brown paint that matches the shelving, and the swing arm sconces, keep it from having a “living in a closet” feel.
This bedroom is by Sherry and John of Young House Love. They used two Ikea wardrobes on either side of the bed. One for her, one for him, each customized with drawers and rods and hidden behind white curtains hung high. A valance gives it a finished effect and makes it feel like the bed is tucked into a built-in nook.
Stylish Storage: Hermes Boxes
The iconic Hermes boxes — their signature orange color and brown trim make them pretty enough to have out on display and make for a chic small scale storage option:
What do you think? Love ‘em or hate ‘em?
BTW, you don’t necessarily have to shell out big bucks for a Hermes item in order to get an orange box. I’ve seen the empty boxes available on ebay and Etsy.
