Trend Spotlight: Waste Not, Want Not

Whether you live in a sprawling country house or a bachelor loft, space should be your primary concern when sizing up your home for some decorating. One of the latest moves in the interior design world is to combine clutter-free minimalism with space-saving functionality. You want to use the space that you have to its fullest, so try thinking outside the box a bit. If you have a guest room that is only used once or twice a year, consider adding a bookshelf for storing and making crafts. Or combine your book collection with your office, bring in a plush couch and spare table or two, and you’ve got an instant home library. Be sure to keep your home’s design ethos in mind when maximizing on space, and play around with what you have.
