Eliminate awkward gaps with purposeful joinery, Home Design' she advises as a first step. 'Furniture floats more in a small room, because any gap between it and the wall is awkward and small. Instead, think about usingto fit everything in properly. For example, make a dining nook with banquette seating (with storage underneath) that goes the width of a room, or build a box bed into the length of the room, making space for niches and cupboards.' You might think this would cause the room to feel smaller, but as everything will then have a set place, it achieves the opposite effect and keeps it organised at the same time.
