How to Organize Your Space with Style

We all know staying organized is something that is not the easiest of tasks.  Many of us like to put off that chore until the last moment (or we might even completely ignore it).  Organizing doesn’t have to be stressful or take away from the cute design and style of your home.  Below are some great design tips and tricks to help you organize and save on space all while keeping up with your cute style!

Entertainment consoles are great for keeping all of your electronics in one neat area and can even keep them hidden.  Many consoles offer a feature to hide the cords through a hole in the back so that you don’t have to see messy tangled cords but can plug in all your electronics!  How great is that?  Entertainment consoles also offer many different compartments for your PlayStation, DVD players, Xbox, DVDs stacked neatly, and closing doors to hide away what’s inside.  The best part is that these pieces are available in a wide range of sizes, finishes, and configurations.  And because they look great, you can proudly make them a focal point in your family room.

Lift-top cocktail tables are another great center piece for the living room that create great storage and convenience of eating on the couch just as if you were at the table!  You can even use them as an office desk all while sitting on your comfortable couch!  They convert in seconds, and what’s more, the table tops conceal storage space for items you’ll need to work, eat, or relax.  How clever is that?

Even though beds with drawers underneath aren’t something new, they are diffidently making a comeback and are a great way to help save on space while keeping your clothes and items neatly tucked away.   They have been reinvented to bring a sleek and chic look to this storage staple.  Another exciting new option is the storage chest.  By day, it maximizes your space, and by night it opens into a comfortable bed for guests or for everyday use.

Benches that double as a storage and chest are the new must-have, and they are taking over!  These cute and unique chests can be used for any room and don’t take up much space at all.  Consider a storage unit with bins, drawers, slots, and shelves – whatever you need to tuck away your things.  Plus, many offer a bench top for convenient seating, perfect for a hallway, kitchen or back porch.

And lastly, we have space-saving shelving units!  These sleek multi-design shelves are able to be placed in small confined areas such as the bathroom and laundry room and offer shelves to help keep things de-cluttered and organized.  Many can be custom adjusted to fit over the toilet or over a washer and/or dryer for ease of access and making things even more convenient for you and the family.

Staying organized doesn’t have to turn into a nightmare project or be ignored anymore!  There are so many new furniture designs now that are specifically made to help you keep that cute style and convenience of living all in one!
