Tips for stress-free small spaces

Show Off Your Books

 

An artfully organized shelf of books can help divide a room into separate living spaces, while also holding sentimental belongings. Prominently display the books that are most meaningful to you.

 

 

Create A Nook

Designate one chair your “quiet area” and pull it into a corner, preferably near a window. Keep books, magazines, and handicrafts easily accessible by placing them on a side table or in a nearby basket.
