One of the easiest ways to create storage space and illusion of larger space is by using open shelves. Consider creating floor to ceiling open shelves. You can make it so that the shelves are placed at different intervals to create a more interesting look. You should also use vertical dividers at different intervals.
You can either color the whole shelf in white to create an illusion of more space. If space is not the concern, you can paint different sized shelves in different colors to create a more dramatic look.
Use some boxes to simply place decorative items to enhance the look.

One of the most important requirements in a guest room is space to put down a suitcase. Any guest who visits you is bound to carry luggage and will need space to put it down. Ensure that you have a luggage rack, if possible. If not, at least make sure that there is a small table to keep the luggage on.
Also, ensure that there is seating arrangement in the room near the door. A guest may want to remove his or her shoes without having to stoop very low and without having to drag muddy shoes all the way to the bed.

A garden bird bath is not just a thing a beauty. It is also a gesture of kindness to birds who also share this planet with us. It is difficult for birds to find a source of clean water and food in densely populated areas. And, if your region attracts migratory birds, then there is all the more reason to have a bird bath as it gives you a chance to observe exotic birds at close quarters.
You can use different paints to mark the food, water and play area to add more color and vibrancy to your bird bath.

Potted plants in the bathroom make your bathroom feel very comfortable. They can be placed in an area close to the sink where you can easily water it. Plants that grow taller can also be placed on the floor in the corners.

Care should be taken so that the excess water coming out of the pot doesn’t stain your tiles. Keeping a plate to collect this will solve this problem. Use plants that need high humidity in your bathroom. If your bathroom has low light, choose a suitable plant. The plants can also be placed on a window sill or close to a mirror so the reflection can be seen.

A guest room is not the right place for you to dump your old, sagging mattress. If you don’t want to use it yourself, you should expect your guests to use it.
Ideally, you want to make the best impression on your guests. Consider getting the best bedding you can afford. If your budget is not too large, consider getting an air mattress. They are not only comfortable, but extremely convenient. They can be placed on top of a bed, on a couch or even on the floor. They can also be easily moved and stored, in case you have shortage of storage space.

Having large and stylish mirrors in the bathroom can make a huge difference. If you have a small bathroom and want to give the illusion of space just cover one wall with a mirror. Some even have full length mirrors at the back of the bathroom door.

Don’t just limit yourself to having square, rectangular or oval mirrors. Get creative and try getting mirrors of weird shapes. If your bathroom has a theme, get a mirror with a frame that can blend with your theme. This not only makes your bathroom interesting but the reflections will increase the light in the room.

We all want our child’s nursery to look as beautiful as possible, but it is even more important for it to be safe. Use bright colored curtains and upholstery in the nursery to add more vibrancy and life to the room. Depending on the age and preference of your child, you can use cartoon themed curtains, bedcovers, pillow cases and blankets.
However, you need to ensure that the curtain or drapes do not reach the floor of the nursery. Children tend to grab and play with the lower edges of drapery and are at a risk from being suffocated by them.
