Utilize every nook and cranny! A closet might be better used as an office instead of storage space.

Your decor can be functional! Just because it's something that you use daily, doesn't mean it can be pretty and on a shelf for all to see.

Get creative with the square footage you do have. Make items that can be put away, hidden, or stored but easily accessed.

With small spaces comes less clutter and more function. Don't let it get you down, it's just as much fun to decorate!

Kitchen Inspiration! Open up those shelves

FREE IMAGES I keep seeing open shelving in the kitchen and I'm starting to love the look. It's a great way to open up your kitchen since bulky shelving can take up a lot of visual space. This is also a great way to keep yourself organized since you don't want your shelves looking messy!

Not only are they great for storage but it's a great way to add a little decor to your kitchen as well!

If you need larger shelving space going with large open cabinets may be what you need! It still gives you the visual open kitchen but doesn't lack in storage.

There are so many different styles of shelves, have fun with it and find a shelf that matches your style and home decor. Of course, if you know there's just no way you can keep your stuff tidy, stick with cabinets...
