Collections, such as the homeowner's scores of colorful books, can be used as decorative elements while still staying organized with built in shelves. A blue gray and warm orange palette keeps the space visually cohesive and feeling fresh.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyNTaFQefm1vSXcHXQsWnIq_aXr2AqrQ82gAHMeB2xv7mpPwE_KZtR9KcIT552HMQZtgR5JnRiDVH4zHzJ8iPEXc__yOQGEGgVPX1dNs5enmgJCSwmsPTYZux3_NJcRMEb9_hJrI825HR/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Office Space</b></span></span><br />Open, organized space is a necessity for the homeowner, who runs a business from her home. The largest <span class="mandelbrot_refrag">room</span> in the house had been underused but was remade into a work space and family art room. The open area and windows provide a spacious and bright work area, and three large industrial tables allow enough room to spread out projects.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifn2BGBYixTWNHQsQFxLhKXHKYnbmis9JI14G7xSjvstlpyhhqi_thRChYjpvYZ3F52ykVHx4xfH-Hh7TI57jRC1UfFxY-is_hdVpn6NineXNXQNMmWBlOb-Q08cbS4OQH5dEmk7PSdhwK/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Closet Shelves</b></span></span><br />The work space gained an extra dimension when the closet's bifold doors were removed to create an office nook. Outfitted with a desk, file cabinet, and shelves, the space has been maximized to its full storage potential. Colorful containers provide decoration on the shelves and also help reduce clutter from building up on the desk.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmevhl-tWG8yzgpNKoNd0nNi345_qI9RONqSO5JQW1oRBbhhHwPZbun6zOhyesWIhawpMZJdYfL513Q3tRgdlq-6YF6hL5eH-wFU5RpWcwnGwXxbGs8Ih5_xbiJJ8TZjhDKU9aIUkWXeOr/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Stow Away</b></span></span><br />In a home that's short on storage space, these white metal file drawers are staple organizational tools. The multiple drawer cabinets are perfect places to stow away toys and media gadgets, and they work well for keeping art supplies organized in the office.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_J28EJWZyIX4VjNhrn8E5FyQKCBt-H0Ep87bToiYD5opQb4qH11B8r6dUkhsvDFxUOox82Pik5qtl1k0xdWinyaJoqy4k-1dwth_rjtDCFdIhv_XEy1DYKgneTkSRZ0iD3QgkxntwHje/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Hang It Up</b></span></span><br />Once used as storage for office supplies in the work space, these shelves were repurposed in a toddler's room and now feature a rotating display of wooden toys, pinecones gathered on nature walks, and paintings made with artist parents. The hooks and open shelves make a growing collection of objects simple to display and keep organized.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3k51LKaKDIo8nAXitexMgySzaAaYxR1qGV0gQxuDmgbM2x6cjNa11lGladU366Z1bT6kOA_kD8jyhzZkNHsk_vWL64jT0F4yFDCKmXKs1JvAVwHIDANFogEp6w0-9ffgglIhW7vBMiiP/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Out of the Box</b></span></span><br />On another wall in the bedroom, wooden cubbies are hung for displaying knickknack items. Colorful fabric swatches used as backing make bright accents against the wall. The boxes can be easily rearranged and added to over time.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWmyf2o9PJOiUT4HAPUDlBhqDV2_DCw48mrxqZ-ElygVK1Smoc4S1Dpzmk4juqD7icB1vMQlPxblgltCTSQHzuevyfkiSpV2WE6J8bz7Zq0HDmoiMB_JWY5oDkkq3KMNZm2viYZvHxtBV/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Low Profile</b></span></span><br />In the dining room, a low shelf was converted into extra storage space by removing the sliding doors and mounting it on the wall. Perfect for children's books, this shelf also provides a ledge to display and organize objects without taking up floor space.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-DAS4FPeFjb6EYu86dgkZCNtNsp3LIYXIxgEpVttf85bLrSRL6NJHDozu-8bXKpqV2bnaC-fnkP3K66zaZdrn1V3-kh4A4I7EjbznMAnHc_9LRlBBqL-lZdLl75CKysBdGZ-PHmcHR_gS/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Racking It Up</b></span></span><br />Rein in reading material with a stylish magazine rack. This little item is a big help in keeping areas that are short on space neatly organized. Compact enough for small spaces, this magazine rack conveniently fits on the ledge created by the wall shelf and helps keep floor space clear.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMUJwnuqByTefabSSr8j3ItOGAVRVxBJctmONIN6IScd77i6uT14h77DjiUrBNvW5MvrJ0GhTPHyLLXmdlzMdmNPvJGBk_gViyL0s3PMsnDUhGISMg3BHYE2sWfoSKCeQ6JvpMFuXXIGRB/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Setting an Example</b></span></span><br />The house includes plenty of storage at a toddler's level so the homeowners' daughter can help tidy her own things. That includes the kitchen, where a low drawer designated for dishes has dividers to keep it organized. Her parents hope to teach her by example  how easy it can be to keep things nice and neat.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij46S31JFXlJt7dm_HvzLd89Jw8K_6K7FSFWNox4Yx-2zt1bCSqwmFWtUfpGRj9Wf3PkK4OUZTvCXXVWDRlYoIGsqeaKoQciRP3SCAN2a3O_BVPWDceutV_sw5N7TOIjnFErWgVaWgzx_d/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>On the Shelf</b></span></span><br />Shelves in the kitchen provide easy access to dishes. And without having to arrange them inside a cupboard, organization is simple. An orange accent piece carries over the color scheme from the rest of the home and ties all the areas together.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSwCcWvBFaoZc-GhwzK8dTJEZ7h7etSaXvc9toliJV01ORS2vnlQgd1GIZc_B0nFov7PxpnshZuDGr9qWLf-VYT0x4f8LchQ9Vrg1_6-Aj_40sidUKe6AKQRl0u2bCCKuAx6DHkLFtKDk/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Nesting Table Nook</b></span></span><br />Cozy nooks are all around the house. Storage space is maximized by using furniture with lots of drawers such as the white metal filing cabinet. A wicker basket doubles as decoration and storage. The nesting tables barely take up any space but can be perfect footrests or work space when pulled apart.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2y6gNwffXvy-0INk-JaqHFYwWNAiYnbxwR2RvZ9KkyzsZcaG1ahEYSi7_9LoixyFCuBy_RHq_G3B8gu9h5r_B19CVZ68rtBDtKiArcj2GIxOH-ICgWm2Pu4UfZ3KdRx-QS5SH4vJtSaTi/s640/Small-Home-Storage-Organization-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tour-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Divide & Conquer</b></span></span><br />While big open spaces are important in the office, little nooks to cozy up in define the rest of the house. Bookcases serve as open dividers between rooms while still providing those comfy nooks with lots of shelf space for storage. Organizing books by color adds an interesting decorative touch.<br /><br /><br /></div>

Pick a paint strip in a color you love and buy a can of paint for each drawer or "tier" of drawers. Use the lightest color on the strip for the top, the next darkest color (or colors, depending on how many drawers you have) for the middle section, and use the darkest color for the bottom drawer. Make sure to use colors in the order that they are displayed on the strip so you get a natural progression of color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIZZr6r1r-zqHECVjQ7yirPjd2M94vjooGB-BLiA7ZRmABYDu1jmg6caNtk2LTxWlVe80EOn9LXVFm4eCeTeuzb2gwm0Pcj_BZFP51nKiKP7gMLTXPbBCvY7Uw-bb3RfOJnEh9l6F6fi65/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Bookcase</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Skip the basic bookcase and construct your own. Build a series of boxes in different sizes, stack, and attach.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxoB0IHcv83XY7bcYvKhxzeYKHQEzdHA5lT0DtG_lfPOfXZ3CV7vHZ4nTILRIwee2BbSn5_yz5XWCyCuKsBM_r2fBRPg0XiFuPy_OaUd3y7Gu-CXE6_wya6sPd3zNMPPa6LoHbarEBDUfy/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Build a Coffee Table</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Create a coffee table from two retired kitchen cabinets. Place the cabinets side by side, screw together, and paint white. Cut a piece of medium density fiberboard (MDF) to fit on top of the cabinets. Paint and coat the piece in polyurethane, then attach to the top of the cabinets. For the base, cut the number of MDF sheets to size and stack depending on the desired height for the table. Glue the sheets together. Face the base with veneer and screw to the bottom of the cabinet.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSrh2pZWrAc3GwTipnJ-HVeyr2-WgbOJ9QKkHH1fzFhxZJaeEa21qN86Vlw5s7qhEGssi6FbC4cURSA2WY7iQAMKcAQdP2Ute2tSD2h42t5NCnWu3qTrz6qa1W_Z3A1ru3q4tpvSPTlNH/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Revive a Wicker Chair</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Paint a wicker chair to give it a fresh update and to bring it up to speed with the rest of your decor. Use a liquid deglosser before painting for best results.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3bIbnr7UiWJlULID3r2WrqqeEldVYJx4iwDQ7q6RH9EL_RwPvJqjIZXPDKPW00u-R9tJEqCatODTJ9jsH6JE-t6Bwp2X3mOMcAZfQZCibSPbnJ_yX_2L6K60pMHMDYV5n1KXCZQ6lWS3/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Retrofit a Table</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Even a dilapidated table can be revived with a bit of creativity and ingenuity. Shop for a table that is past its prime (this one was missing a leaf). You'll also need a 2x2 inch board, wood screws, a table saw, and a drill. Take all of the <span class="mandelbrot_refrag">hardware</span> beneath the table off (sliding mechanisms, etc.) Cut the table in half lengthwise with the saw. Cut the board to 1 inch less than the width of the table. Attach the board with screws to wall studs at a height flush with the underside of the table. Fasten the table to the board from underneath with wood screws.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1SWUct1zA7iBc_9NL9KQPAWG3JWn9SpsoUMRzMC7cXNv7hrQiXD2WQGI7L04lQ6HgHZEepJhRfW2FgtP7BOwYNRiRG5YzWF9UA0uz8wzLUmeWTB-zyKhescjkVpCMdmPlrbRkAwO-4g-/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Trim a Chair</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Return a traditional, yet tired chair to its former glory with nailhead trim and a bright fabric. Paint the chair. Cut an oval of fabric to fit the back. Staple into place and trim the excess. Hot glue flat white trim around the edge to hide the staples. Cover the seat in a similar method. Finish the back and seat with nailhead trim from a bolt (available at fabric stores), which comes in a ribbon and is easier and quicker to work with than individual nailheads.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFqw1UPHUtbApze_EHmNQ8nk5GNdjKHzqnR28VsKzTkZBhDafX4-q_MiQyi3bh-38gvwgCwjz1NSO9JtdcbhaoKPXtuH_nCye3X1uvwFLs42XeY1eywEMrBM2XgLtM71JCZjzQdLw99rfz/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Build a Storage Ottoman</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add both a table and extra storage to your living room or family room with an ottoman constructed from MDF.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQfVCaOb5P06PkanBwjlcjyPfToMC7OwOM_PXKx7WcCy_bOeOdtb1W_XQIRODpC7BkyNS3iMSJzcvz-rQhZbnqLLPMdIGNaijZ2fheGFeQM3AmBA3s25k3iW43_WzRc3ZjYeZBSgbln6I/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Pretty Desk Chair</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pull up a playful perch next to your desk with this easy chair makeover. This once dull chair was pepped up with a fresh coat of paint (see final slide: how to spray paint a chair) and a seat cover fashioned from a pillow cover. To upholster the seat, remove the seat and wrap both thicknesses of the cover around the seat and staple to the back. Be sure to center the motif and pull the fabric tight as you staple. Trim the excess fabric and screw the seat into the frame.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpM2jbXUchpqVktiwr3foGSJO-Xj6iRZo3Ig7XVHuYShdboRtQt8NfVTa9xKyYEapTF27nE0aYEEvsTqjjV4iiC1UJwwS0wYD86SZ34RwQSNztfBvPGz894gjFpG35KKI1iKxwFesI7haU/s640/Furniture-Projects+-2013-Decorating-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Furniture Project: Built In Window Seat</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another purpose for old or unfinished <span class="mandelbrot_refrag">cabinets</span>: a window seat with the look of a built in.

Decorative elements scattered throughout the space, such as the window treatments, hand towels, and sconce shades, incorporate splashes of green and yellow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZetzFu7-iRmir_YOYu7e_InrI0Nv8W4GfHR-mYFu8t7eqyb36NxUYY3We73ppEYcxW0ciHkzvTZzQjZsp_3xy1P-e2mJwkOyrwS83CAnn2E8sTMQThHGzWPRA2xQKA0S1woBfOvgUOdR/s640/Colorful-Bathrooms-2013-Decorating-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Aqua + Spring Green + White</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">In this bathroom, a built in hutch stands out as something truly special, thanks to a coat of fresh green paint.

2013 Christmas Tree Inspiration from HGTV

Wrap each with low-wattage, UL-approved white holiday lights that don't generate heat. Drape beautiful ribbons over the rings to create the foliage streamers, which cover the structure but allow the glow from the lights to shine through. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="313" type="disc"><li>For just a whisper of the holidays in your home, purchase several cherry blossom branches from a florist. The flowers give the impression of tufts of snow along the branches, and when placed in a very large glass container, the bouquet can be high enough to allow plenty of room for stacks of beautifully wrapped Christmas packages underneath. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="314" type="disc"><li>Use carefully wrapped surprises as part of your holiday decor. One of the best ways to do this is to use paper in colors that either stand out or blend in with the existing decor of your home. A collection of pink and silver packages is certainly eye catching. If the packages look too good to unwrap, use empty boxes and display your creations again next year. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="315" type="disc"><li>Turn a white Christmas tree into a snowman (or an elf, Santa and even a reindeer) using felt and fabric for his eyes and nose, top hat and a scarf to keep him warm. </li></ul></div>
