Reviving Forgotten Spaces: Turning Wasted Areas Into Functional Rooms

Does your home or office have any awkward, empty areas that don’t get used for much? Maybe a garage corner, an attic space, or an under-stair nook? These overlooked spots have tons of potential to become beautiful functional spaces with the right design approach.

Here are some tips for transforming forgotten areas into fully utilized rooms:

Analyze the Space

Take measurements and note any architectural elements or constraints. This will reveal the possibilities of the space.

Assign a Purpose

Determine how you want to use the area – as a reading nook, home office, plant room etc. This will inform what features to include.

Build Out the Bones

Look into building partitions, floors, electrical and plumbing if needed to make the space fully functional.

Maximize Storage

Take advantage of every inch by incorporating customized shelving, cabinetry, drawers and other storage solutions.

Get Creative with Layout

Think outside the box for the floorplan. Unique pieced-together areas often require unconventional furniture arrangements.

Infuse Personality

Add special touches with lighting, greenery, art and accessories that give the new room character.
