{small space style}

Our new place has extremely limited storage and space so one of the key challenges we faced was where are we going to put all of our stuff?  We had to be creative and work out some clever ideas to maximise space, so for the past few weeks I have been gleaning as much inspiration as possible that I thought I would share.

{open shelving}

I love the idea of open bookshelves; not only can they be styled so they are visually nice to look at, but because the sides and back are open they automatically create a sense of space.

{closet inspiration}

For the first time ever I am lucky enough to have designed my own closet space. Of course, its not as big as I would like, but its definitely the best closet space I have owned! I designed an IKEA Pax system that includes a shoe organiser, a special drawer to hold all of my jewellery and accessories, plus plenty of hanging space with different heights. Having a well organised closet makes getting dressed in the morning rather fun :)

{make up /  drawer organisers} 

Drawer and make up organisers have become my new best friend. I didn't even know that such elaborate systems existed, but now that I do, my bathroom drawers have never looked so good.

So there you have it, a few ideas that have inspired me lately. I will be sharing my progress soon, but in the meantime, I'd love to know what other space saving ideas you have!

I hope your week is off to a great start!
