What To Do With Awkward Areas In Your Home?

Every home is filled with peculiarities, corners, nooks, and niches that aren’t large enough to make usable rooms but just enough to cause us to scratch our heads. These oddities can be difficult to decorate and easy to overlook; however, if you’ve seen any of the home improvement programs on HGTV and know the value of some creative thinking can make a difference.

We’ve found a few ideas that bring charm and utility to your home and make the most of every square footage.

1. The strange space that is beneath the staircase

Let’s begin with one of the most famous features of your residence – the staircase. It is possible to write an entire article about this unoccupied space! There are many options in this space simply due to the space it covers. Also, regardless of whether the bottom of your staircase is open or enclosed, the simplest way is an ounce of imagination (and maybe a hammer or nails), and this frequently overlooked part of your house could be transformed into a space of its own. It will leave you wondering why you didn’t consider this sooner.

Here are a few of the brilliant ideas we’ve found:

* Create a cozy reading nook

This is a straightforward one. All you need to do is determine the width and the depth of the room and then find the perfect bench that will fit well (hint that a lot of online retailers offer narrow options based on size, so you are able to locate the ideal one without wasting hours looking). Throw in one or two throw pillows, and put a blanket under and you’ve created the ideal spot to read books, take calls and send a text message or read to the kids.

Make the ideal dog home.

This idea is just too adorable to not share. It’s a great method to provide your pet with an area of its own and still share the room together. A comfortable bed is a great addition, and you can also add some vinyl tiles to shield your flooring and also keep dishes from the way. (Psst it also serves as a very clever hide-and-go seek place! ).

You can make it your workstation at home

Every home requires a place to store mail, put keys in, keep the family computer, and complete your homework (or work-from-home tasks). When you’re not blessed with additional space to set aside for an office in your home or workspace, that area under the stairs could be the perfect amount of space that you need. 

Bookshelves!

If you don’t have a separate library or study area in your home, there is not enough space to store books. Cookbooks, kids’ magazines, books, travel guides, and novels will pile up to become messy if not cleaned. An ideal alternative is to use that space below the stairs and build several shelves using planks of wood cut to the size you need and using brackets to support them. 

Make an ambiance for a breakfast bar or wine bar.

You can repurpose an old dresser into an open-air breakfast bar and wine bar. Paint it, open an item from the drawer to create a wine rack or a place for cups or glasses, and place it in its place. 

2. A closet that’s either too small or hasn’t been often used

If you have an unfinished closet that doesn’t match your needs or is too small to be practical or not used in your home, make it the ” cloffice” or an office in the closet. It’s as easy as opening the doors (or eliminating them completely) and then painting the wall behind them with bright colors and putting up some shelves.

3. The alcove or empty corner

Although you don’t need to fill every square inch of your property Sometimes, corners and nooks are noticeable as empty and call attention to themselves.

4. The room with the ceiling that’s angled
