For your living room, opt for sleek and multifunctional furniture pieces. Consider a modular sofa with hidden storage compartments, allowing you to keep your space tidy while maximizing seating options. Incorporate colorful accents like our funky throws and vibrant pillows to add personality to the space without overcrowding. Install floating shelves or a stylish media console to display books, artwork, and entertainment devices!

To create a serene and stylish bedroom, choose a platform bed with built-in drawers or a storage ottoman at the foot of the bed for extra storage. Utilize wall-mounted sconces (like Stella did) or pendant lights to save space on bedside tables! Experiment with bold patterns and textures when choosing your bedding, curtains, and rugs to spice up the room!

Maximize storage by installing overhead cabinets that reach the ceiling. Choose open shelving to display your trendy dishware! Use a compact dining table with extendable leaves or a drop-leaf design so you can entertain whenever you want, while saving space on the regular. Bar stools can be a great way to add a pop of color and create a cozy breakfast nook.

Consider a wall-mounted desk or a compact corner desk to save space. Use floating shelves or a bookshelf with cubbies to organize books, files, and decor items. Investing in a comfortable ergonomic chair is always a great idea! Statement wallpaper or a gallery wall can quickly make your office space visually appealing and keep you entertained while you work!
Bathroom
A vanity with ample storage or wall-mounted cabinets are the perfect stylish ways to keep your essentials organized! Utilize vertical space with floating shelves or a ladder shelf for additional storage and display opportunities. Select stylish and functional accessories such as a sleek shower caddy and a mirrored medicine cabinet to maximize functionality without compromising aesthetics.
