When you design a room, first think about how you will stash everything up and out of your way. After you've figured out how much utility space you really need, you can then work on how to make it look attractive. Most people make the mistake of trying to figure out where they'll put their stuff, only after they've decorated and become attached to an inflexible design. The function should dictate the form.
Your inspired decor theme will be visually lost if the room is drowning in clutter and the floors choked with objects. No one wants to bend over a zillion times to move things, so most people just avoid cleaning their floors when there is as well much on them. Shelves, storage cabinets, and hanging baskets help you to keep things off the floor.

Well it depends on who you ask. Some might be perfectly content having his or her bed up against the wall or in the corner of the bedroom. While this is a perfectly viable option, it is a bit reminiscent of a college dorm room. Adding a headboard and footboard to your bed is a simple way to add a bit of style and panache to your bedroom.
Positioned at the head of the bed, the main purpose of a headboard is to separate your head from the wall and to give you a location to put your bed pillows. The footboard, on the other hand, goes at the foot of the bed and keeps your feet from dangling off the end. While both of these pieces are functional, most people wind up getting them for aesthetic purposes – they just make the bedroom look more complete!
The fact is that a bed just doesn’t look good sitting on top of a box spring with the comforter spilling off the edge of the bed onto the floor. While most bed frames today include a headboard and footboard, wall mounted headboards and panels exist separately, providing for more versatility. Adding a stylish bed frame that includes a headboard and a footboard is a simple and cost-effective way to dress up your bedroom.
Some bed frames even give you some extra under-bed storage which is great for a small apartment.
For those of you yet questioning whether or not you really need a headboard/footboard, why not think about getting a bookcase headboard? These pieces are the perfect blend of form and function, giving you a neat and easily accessible little space to stack books and magazines, tissues, a clock radio –whatever you might normally place on a night stand.
Available in a variety of styles, there’s surely a headboard and footboard to match your personal style and home d?cor style – from an ultra modern leather (or faux leather) headboard, to a simple wood bookcase headboard, perfect for your child’s bedroom. You can even customize the look of your bedroom with a stylish upholstered headboard.

Living in a small space can be a real challenge, especially for a family with kids, but not only them. Making the most of limited space is the topic of today's article - a real gem!
Interior Design Space Saving Techniques
By David McEvoy
There is nothing worse than clutter for spoiling an otherwise perfectly beautiful home. as well many ornaments occupying the shelves, piles of papers and magazines lying on the table, boxes and bags filled with all those bits and pieces that do not have a home, books overflowing on the book case and so on. Clearing up the clutter and transforming your home in the process needn't be a nightmare. If you think you haven't got enough storage space then think once more. The following space saving tips and techniques will help you to change the look of your home and create a harmonious atmosphere that isn't only pleasing to the eye but calming for the mind.
If you do not need it, ditch it
The first step would be to gather absolutely everything that you do not need and get rid of it. There is no point in hanging on to things that you haven't even looked at for several years, just in case one day you think you might. Invariably, you won't. It can be hard to let go of some items, particularly if you have a tendency to hoard things, but the sheer exhilaration of clearing out the junk is more than worth it. Give items away, donate them to charity, sell them at a car boot sale or take them to your local recycling centre. One mans trash is another man's treasure as they say so pass it on. You may be quite surprised at how much you can gather in only a few years so make a point of having a clear out regularly. It's well worth it.
Now that you've got rid of all the extras it's time to look at how you can display and store everything else.
Walls can be space savers
Walls are often underused when it comes to saving space. Just look at the amount of wall space there is in your home and start thinking about how this could be better used. For example, shelving is relatively inexpensive and yet a few corner shelves can be of immense value when it comes to finding a home for everything. Make your motto “a location for everything and everything in its place”.
If everything has a location then of course it will be much easier to keep your home tidy and uncluttered. Shelves placed high up on the wall can be used for displaying items such as photographs, ornaments or plants or anything else that you want to be able to see but do not need to use. For items that you do not want to see, consider putting them behind a closed door in a cabinet or a cupboard.
If you have a flat screen television then why not consider having it mounted on the wall. Televisions and stands can take up a great deal of space in a room so having it on the wall not only saves space, it is easier to view as well. Other items that can be wall mounted can include spice racks, soap dishes and dispensers, electrical equipment, shoe racks, just use your imagination.
Behind closed doors
Cupboards and cabinets can hide a multitude of sins but what you do not want is a cupboard that you're scared to open in case the contents spill out on top of you. You can buy clear storage boxes with lids very cheaply that you can then label with the contents and stack them on top of one another. This way, when you open the cupboard to put some thing away you will know where it belongs and it won't be a nightmare, or a health risk.
Using the furniture
If you are choosing new furniture spare a thought for any space saving aspects it might have. For example, a coffee table with a couple of drawers, a bed that can accommodate under the bed storage, a display cabinet with closed cabinet space as well. If your current table has space underneath it, think about investing in a good quality tablecloth that reaches the floor, not only will this act as an attractive feature in your room, it can hide videos or CDs or anything else for that matter underneath.
Other ideas
There are always ways to maximise the use of available space in any room no matter how small it is. Take a look round your home and identify any area that can be better utilised. Look above eye level to the ceiling and under to the floor, and remember to look underneath pieces of furniture as well. You will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of wasted space you already have and when you've made the effort to rectify this, you can sit back and enjoy your new and uncluttered surroundings.

Solid wood is a classic way to create a distinguished opulent look and feel in a room, but not the only way, as this brown chaise lounger proves so well.

The cherry finished legs are beautiful but they aren't that dominant in the overall look. What makes this piece of furniture so luxurious is the very shape of the chaise lounger - inviting for a single person to put his or her feet up and relax in peace.
The color is crucial as well, brown as wood, it's both soothing and masculine at the very same time, making this lounger a perfect choice for offices and waiting rooms, as well as a more official living room. It could also work well in a more masculine bedroom, but do not be afraid to soften it a little with a nice warm throw, ready to be wrapped around some lucky person's shoulders.
And if you think a lounger isn't functional enough, keep in mind that this one hides plenty of storage room there as well, right under that seat.

Some furniture have a definite contemporary look and when it comes to a Plasma TV stand, a contemporary look is nearly required. After all, harmony in form and function is always pleasing, and when the function involves a high-tech Twenty-First Century object, what else would you expect but a sleek design like this:

How you work this into your living room, or perhaps bedroom, design is a dissimilar question. Fortunately, the design over here uses light colors, so it should be easy enough to have it blend into an airy well-spaced contemporary room, allowing whatever is displayed on the screen to draw the eye to it.
It's not as well huge, and if your TV is larger than a 42″ screen, then keep looking. If the size is right though, then this can be a great option, allowing for comfortable storage of your media, as well as appliances.
