The Family Room
SPACE SAVER: A toy box.
These cleverly concealed storage cupboards beneath colourful cushions double up as built-in seats. No more tripping over toys!
The Kitchen
SPACE SAVER: A multipurpose island.
The glory of a big kitchen sometimes comes at the cost of your dining room and pantry. Roll all elements into one by turning your dining table into a central work island with storage cupboards fitted beneath it.
The Utility Room
SPACE SAVER: Stacking.
Combine the workings of a kitchen with a utility room by making the most of vertical space: stack appliances on top of each other (tumble dryer over washing machine works best) and stash seldom-used items on the top shelf of tall cupboards. Installing a curtain will help keep messy dishes under wraps and obscure the hypnotic rotation of the washing machine.
The Stairs
SPACE SAVER: A home office.
Put an office in the dead space under your stairs and you’ll never have to worry about clearing the table in time for dinner. Just close the door and declare your working day over.
