How to maximise on your small spaces?

Don’t let any space go unused in a small room.

Create a multi-purpose space and consider dividing the room with a screen.

Build in storage walls to the ceiling.

To make sure the space doesn't look to heavy keep it light by using soft colours.

Here are a few examples, designed and made by aln furniture.

The privacy screen closes of the mezzanine to the light from downstairs living space. Bookcases offering extra storage for an at home office.
