While spaciousness is still a reality in bungalows and penthouses; flats, on the other hand, tend to be cumbersome.
Honestly speaking, if you are lucky, you might even get to live in your dream house- one that fulfils all your needs. But if you are not and instead having to make do with a comfortable 3BHK flat- then congrats! At least, you have a place to call your home.
Every home has dead space an architectural term that stands for “unused and empty area that has no purpose and often goes unnoticed”. Chances are it has hoodwinked you into believing that your home is small too. But the truth is otherwise. You just need to be smart enough to spot those idle spaces.
- Complete Wall Space
You may have made use of certain portions of the wall, but have you ever utilized it fully? It can act as an organizing or planning wall for you. Stick white boards, make pockets for storing daily items and beautify the entire look with small paintings. You can do so much if you have an empty, lonely wall in your home!
- Complete Between A wall and Bookcase
You might think “who needs that space?” However, if you wish to sit and read something from your library, you are unable to find the desired seating place. You can utilize the mentioned space to place a fluffy bean bag! Complete the look of the nifty reading nook by mounting a small overhead lamp. Bookworms, are you still listening?
- Back of the Doors
Never thought of it, right? Well, that’s dead space too! Imagine using it for hanging your favorite magazines, cleaning supplies, handbags and hand towels to name a few! Your daily routine can be made simpler and smoother with this accessible back-of-the-door storage.
- Space between Fridge and Wall
You know how there’s always space between your fridge and a wall/kitchen slab- no matter how you try to place both the elements closer? If you are fed up with that narrow space, then make it live up to its full potential with a pullout cabinet. Keep your kitchen essentials such jars, cans, napkins, etc. In it for easy accessibility. Notice how the dead space can be furnished?
- Smart Décor Picks
If you want to light up a dim corner of your living room or bedroom but don’t have space for a side table/night-stand-then standing lamps are the best. Place it just behind the couch or beside it- there are many ways in which you can make the most of this unused space.
- Window Sills
Windows make the rooms airy and fresh indeed! But have you ever thought of playing around with them? Window sills have lots of potential space-wise. From placing stationary Knick-Knacks and favorite reads to potted plants and kitchen greens-sills can be furnished stylishly.
