Small Spaces done right

Friday, April 10, 2015

It's difficult to create a roomy feel when you are limited on square footage. Here are a few examples of different spaces that I think are done well for limited space. 


A bedroom doesn't have to be large to be glamorous. You also don't need a lot in a bedroom to make it a bedroom! A bed and a side table will do just fine since this is a room for sleeping. Keep is simple with a touch of your personality to make it homey.


Laundry rooms can be extravagant or simple but making the most of the space you have is what makes it stand out. This simple closet doesn't look like much but it has everything you need.


An office doesn't require a room, a little nook or corner will do just fine! I love when paint is used to separate a space like this. Keep it simple and clutter free so it doesn't matter where in the home it is!


Closets are so personal. Everyone has different priorities for them and different needs whether it's shelving, hanging space, or shoe storage! When the closet is small sometimes you can feel limited to how you can design it to fit your needs, but this picture proves that you still can!


Sometimes a dinning room room table or a kitchen table aren't a necessary! If you don't have a large family, a dinning room might be a waste of space. This kitchen nook is perfect for small spaces and the extra storage on the side is a great bonus.


Powder rooms tend to be small, but what do you do if you have a tiny powder room? This one is done so well! With a skinny sink to give youroom to walk and a bold pattern behind the toilet, this space looks well designed even though it's super small!

How do you stay organized?

With all the big changes in our home there is a lot going on! Sometimes staying on top of it all can get a little overwhelming, so I thought I'd ask my readers what they do to stay organized!

Organize your time!

Are you the kind of person that has to write everything down in one specific place like a calendar or a journal?


Do you find yourself using sticky notes more than anything?



Would you not function without Google Docs and spreadsheets?

November Look Back

A look back at some of our favorite posts in November:

The dilemma: You only have one spare bedroom but desperately need a home office. The solution: Consider installing a murphy bed in the closet to allow for both. Bonus points if you conceal your murphy bed behind glossy doors with cute hardware! Source: Caitlin & Caitlin Design Co.

Murphy Beds that actually look amazing!

Tips for working from home!

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

A lot of people ask me how I handle working from home. As you can imagine, it can be very distracting if you aren't prepared for it! With house chores looking right at you, all your favorite things to do during your down time within eye sight, and no one checking on you to see what you've gotten done, it can be a bit overwhelming. Here's a few tricks I use to stay on track:


1. Have a dedicated work space.

Even if you are sharing the room with another space, dedicate a wall or a section of it to your work space. You need to have a defined area so when you "step into it" you can be in the work mode and not "see" all the distractions around you. 

Wish working from home looked this glamorous every day! Photographer: Jenna Alcala.

2. Get dressed and create a morning routine!

You don't have to be in fashion, in style, or dressed to the T, but taking a shower and getting out of your jamies can seriously motivating! Also sticking with a morning routine can make you feel ready and prepared for the day. 


3. Set dedicated work hours, and give yourself a real lunch break!

Working off hours can really hurt your body and your routine of working. Overworking can also wear you down and make you less effective at what you are actually doing. Set dedicated work hours and be sure to give yourself a break, just like you would at any out of home job!


4. Use those extra hours wisely!

If you are like me, clutter and unorganized mess can be seriously distracting. Use the time you'd be commuting during an out of home job to do the cleaning around the house! Get everything set so the next morning is dedicated to your routine and work load. 


5. Have fun with your office space!

Decorate it nicely, keep it organized, and have fun with it! After all, you will be spending most of your time at home here. Why not love it?

Sometimes, It's Okay To Be Messy

With most of my home decor experience, organized is one thing that is a requirement. An organized, clean, crisp room is usually what's most pleasing to the eye. Let's get realistic though, if we are going to be living in this room, it's bound to get messy!

Today I am letting it go and embracing some of the chaos, because what is creativity without a little clutter?

A desk you really love is important. And if you can't contain yourself to a mood board, why not try a mood wall?!
