Creative Storage Solutions
There are many
ways to find space where none seems to exist. The key is to look and then look
again.
Glimpse beyond
a door, look above the window, peek below a table and put a cabinet in a place
you never thought to put it before. Instead of looking around at eye level,
look up and down. Think vertical. The air above you is fertile ground for
storage.
Using storage
cabinets
Dolores Cobb, a New York decorator and self-proclaimed veteran of tiny apartments says, "A tall storage cabinet (96" tall x 12" deep x 18" wide) can open up your floor and wall space and provide limitless storage solutions. She employs such cabinets with or without doors, depending on the available space. "Open cabinets can make a space look bigger. In tiny apartments, I use them on both ends of a small sofa, paint them to match the walls, install new pulls (on doors), then float a small end table in front of them. Sometimes Ill place a small painting or mirror on the doors they look fantastic."

Cobb says she
gets the cabinets unassembled, often made of pressed wood and sometimes
faux-paints them for drama. "In an hour of easy gluing and assembly, you
can create enchantment and a much more appealing and organized life!"
