Most homes have the potential for transformation. Stairs are notorious for dead space beneath. Why not use it as storage drawers? Or consider repurposing the open air under the entire staircase as a child’s study area. Likewise, bedrooms are ripe for reconsideration, particularly around the stubborn square of a bed. Think about useful design that eliminates clutter, whether it’s a built-in nightstand that stores surplus shoes or sweaters, or a sculptural wall element that organizes necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelry. You can maximize that narrow space underneath by storing linens or out-of-season clothes in zippered bags. Add baskets under a mudroom bench or build shelves beneath a window seat. Once underutilized, the following four spaces have transformed from nooks and crannies to functional storage. Because, when it comes to organization, if the item itself doesn’t spark joy, maybe the newly found storage solution will.
