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.

Converting a mezzanine floor into a private space. Using a sliding door that hides behind the fixed bookcases allows the space to be used as a spare bedroom. The privacy screen closes of the mezzanine to the light from downstairs living space. Bookcases offering extra storage for an at home office.
