Using Furniture in Unique Ways!
If you live in a smaller than desirable space, using furniture wisely becomes important!
- For endtables, use night tables (mostly used in bedrooms) so that you have drawers that can hold items. Or use tables with shelves underneath. This is what I have in my home and I store magazines, games and extra pillows underneath.
- For coffee tables, use tables with drawers and shelves, too.
- Use storage ottomans as "coffee tables." This gives the family a comfortable footrest and storage, too.
- Consider using one of those L-shaped kitchen nook sets in your home. The seat lids lift up providing storage for cloth napkins, tablecloths, cookbooks, place mats, etc. We store our modeling clay and markers in our seats for easy access at the table.
- Build window seats between bookshelves, if possible! Put a lid on the seat, covered by a comfortable cushion, and use it for storing toys, blankets, etc.
- Use furniture items for unique storage. I use my dining room buffet for storing my scrapbooking supplies because I don't own any silver! If you don't have fancy china, but have a china cabinet, put books in it or baskets of supplies, etc.
- definitely use the space under the bed for toys, off-season clothing, extra sheets or blankets, etc.
It is my hope that you will find something useful here on my site!
I currently enjoy the privilege of being able to stay at home
to homeschool my children and I am always striving to be
the best caretaker for my precious family.
