Ever stared at that weird little corner in your bedroom and thought, "What in the world do I do with you?" Well, fret no more! NorWe and Anzhe design teams are here to turn those odd nooks and crannies into storage wonderlands. Let's dive in!
1. Sizing Up the Space & Meeting Needs
Both design teams sing the same tune: consider the size of the area and homeowner needs. Jessie from Anzhe Design says decoration options are endless, but it's all about smart use of space. Small spaces don't always scream for cabinets; sometimes, a little mirror reflection here or a color-matching trick there does wonders. A pegboard or shelf can turn a messy corner into a neat little storage nook.

2. Storage Savvy Meets Smooth Flow
The NorWe team adds that considering storage functionality and smooth movement in the room is key. They've got three golden rules:
Reuse every inch of space, giving each area its unique function.
Listen to the homeowner but plan for the future – flexibility is key!
Design based on the space's specific features, incorporating display or practical functions.

3. Real-Life Examples to the Rescue!
Example 1: Ditch the solid wall for a screen by the bed, paired with a narrow table for easy access to your nightly essentials. This design provides a cozy dressing area, balancing light and privacy.
Example 2: In a kid's room, a half-height cabinet next to a protruding column creates a functional nook, leaving space for a study chair – small corner, big utility.
Example 3: A recessed niche, perfect for a TV, with a three-panel sliding door that adapts to needs and a rounded archway, combines sleeping and dressing areas with high storage functionality.
Example 4: Cleverly cover the beam's lower area with an 'M'-shaped cabinet and curtains, turning a once-oppressive space into a stylish scene.
Example 5: Under-beam gaps become storage cabinets and open hanging rods, expanding functionality without cramping style. Lighting around the beams adds to the ambience.
