Our old house had a big open foyer. In reality, it wasn’t large enough to put much furniture in but I wanted to take advantage of the extra square footage.
When we first moved in I just put my favorite white dresser in the foyer. Loved it. That dresser looks great anywhere.
After a while we realized that we wanted a place for an office. We had a desk, the computer, printer, storage and other stuff that desperately needed a home. The foyer was the perfect solution. We didn’t even have to add on a room!
See that little door to the right of the desk in the first photo? We were able to hide all that yucky office stuff. There was also shelving on the left that you can’t see and it held our computer and uglier necessities. Lucky for us this closet had a plug. But for about $50 you too can have an outlet put in a closet.
By the way, notice the difference in the wall colors in the photos? They are all the same color but that goes to show how different a paint can look in photos and on line.
Are you utilizing the spaces in your home to their fullest potential?
Here are some areas to consider:
- corners
- halls
- pantry
- garage
- laundry room
- the stair landing
- closets
- patio
