Welcome to my 3rd post about Small Home Style, sharing stylish ideas to incorporate into your home. As a small home dweller living in 1100 Sq feet with a family of four + a puppy, I've learned to design my home with intention and make sure our small home works of my family. Every Monday, I'm sharing design solutions for small homes, helping to tackle small home design dilemmas. Today, I'm sharing design solutions for small bathrooms. Chances are when you have a small home you also have a small bathroom. It can be challenging to create extra storage and make the most of your space with your bathroom is small. However, there are several ways you can make your bathroom feel larger & organized.

Add a Linen Closet

If you have room inside your bathroom or right outside, add a freestanding linen closet to help double your space. Store bathroom towels and misc bathroom items on the shelves.

Add Shelves

Shelves help create instant storage options, choose shelves wide enough that they can hold artwork, baskets, towels, soaps and misc bathroom items. Consider hanging three, above your toilet, odd number of shelves always looks best.

Take the Doors Off

If you have a linen closet inside your bathroom, consider removing the doors! Too many doors inside your bathroom can make a small space feel crowded. Style the opening shelves using trays to hold perfumes and lotions, use baskets to hold bath towels & curling irons etc.

Use All Surfaces for Extra Surface

Place a tray on top of your toilet to create a curated extra storage solution. The tray can hold artwork, photos, bathroom products, candles and jars. This is great way to stylish sneak in extra storage.

Another option is adding a small tray on top of your vanity to coral: toothbushes, candles, purfume etc. items stylishly in plain site

Hang it High

In my sons bathroom, that also serves as our guest bathroom. I hung our striped navy and white shower curtain extra tall, to help create the illusion of tall ceilings, which draw your eyes up and out.

Think Outside the Box

Use a children's wall mounted book holder to organize your beauty products in your bathroom in a chic way. I just adore the dreamy way the a book holder was used in the bathroom below.

Add a small shelf under your mirror for holding perfumes & lotions. Also add an additional mirror to make your morning routine a breeze.

Use Baskets for Purpose & Texture

In my master bathroom below, I two used large baskets underneath our vanity to holder bathroom essentials: toilet paper and towels. This allowed our storage to double and helped create a small linen closet feeling in our petite bathroom. Plus the baskets add texture and color to a white bathroom.

Organize Cabinets & Drawers

Make the most of your vanity cabinets and get those drawers and bottom cabinet organized. Use a lazy Susan as a landing spot for bath products and baskets to hold your kids bathroom toys.

Add interior drawer organizers to keep your drawers organized, life is easier when everything is in plain sight and easy to find.

How have you added additional chic storage in your bathroom? What design dilemmas are you facing in your bathroom?

Every Monday, I'm sharing Small Home Style ideas and design solutions, to incorporate into your home. When you're a small home dweller it's easy to get envious of home that an actual entryway or a grand foyer for guests to land before entering your home. Often times when you have a small home your front door opens directly into your living room, or your home may have narrow hallway that's your entryway. Both entries into your home can make you wonder is it possible to squeeze an entryway into your space.

However, no entryway is no problem! There are several ways to carve out a small entryway in your living room. Today, I'm sharing 6 Big Impact Entryway Ideas for the Small Home Style series.

ONE. Shelf + Artwork. In narrow entryway, its a great idea to add a shelf + artwork above to creating a landing zone. The should be wide enough to hold a vase and flowers along with a small bowl to toss keys into, but now wide enough that it feels awkward passing by.

TWO. Go Vertical. Use the area next to your front door and go vertical, with multiple shelves or bookcase. By using the entire wall as you entryway, it can triple your storage space, making for a tidy entry. A perfect spot to store blankets, hold books, magazines, objects and photos. Think of all the fun styling possibilities.

THREE. Narrow Console Table + Pattern. A stylish console table is perfect spot to create a nice welcome for your guests. When looking for a console table, choose one that's narrow and has extra storage, a 'leggy' console table will help make a small space feel more open vs. using a large heavy feeling piece. To help define your console table in a small space consider having fun with pattern 1. Go blog with wallpaper or a large stencil 2. hand large colorful artwork above. The console table + pattern is a classic, never go out of style look.

FOUR. Create a Landing Zone. Having an entryway that feels purposeful and is a great addition to small spaces and don't need much wall space to integrate into your space. To creating a landing zone entryway, use three key ingredients to make it feel stylish & cohesive with your home: fun hooks, artwork, spot for shoes & a spot for umbrellas.

FIVE: Go Clear. I love the idea of using a clear console table to create an entryway. CB2 makes a great acrylic console table, that is perfect for small spaces. Acrylic console tables take up almost no visible space, and can be perfect to store books under or a cute bench. Bonus, they can also easily double as a desk, if you need to squeeze in work zone into your living room.

SIX. Hooks + Bench. Sometimes less is room, when incorporating a small entry into your home. Sometimes all you need are pretty hooks and small bench to create a small landing for you and your guests. If your tight on space and love the look of benches, start searching on CL and Thrift Stores for small benches or for a piano bench. Target has also been an amazing source for small benches lately in their Threshold Line. Aonus about a simple bench, they can easily be updated in fabulous fabric.
