naples1958's ideas
rope handrail!
banquette seating - perfect use of small niche, unusable for anything else also include storage under banquette
perfect great room with kitchen (sort of on one wall), dining area and living area. includes bar/counter between kitchen and living room
brick wall in white kitchen
a small bedroom can be made to look lighter and more open with a high ceiling and large window(s)
everything!
lights hanging by nautical rope and glass jar
nautical look using rope to hang mirror
like the green-painted steps
perfect - big open space which is a kitchen (on one wall) plus dining and living room(s)
white painted bead board or shiplap on ceiling and one wall, other walls painted (though not this sic blue)
greenery on light fixture can help diffuse lighting that's a bit too bright
blue painted gate amidst beautiful natural tone wood fence
shutters on rail on dining window look fab even just shutters "framing" window
built in shelves include special size for spices
lights along the heavy beam, rug on floor
lace pieces (or strings of shells?) across mantle
string lights across ceiling of outside porch area
painted buckets on reclaimed wood on wall
if you have an overhang porch but need "walls"
looks like brick/tile on main wall, but perhaps could be done via faux finish?
instead of expensive tile, this could be a paint faux finish
use barnwood or other reclaimed wood to warm up cold or boring space, such as laundry or even small bathroom or entry
fan/hood exposed but in stainless looks good better than being shoved into a cupboard that's useless
better idea for spices and such, esp in smaller space such as older cottage
possibility if laundry has to be in kitchen
great idea rather than corner kitchen cupboards where there is lost or inaccessible space
love this - clean, white, bright "beachy or seaside" and stairs are hidden and room divider is created but without being to heavy or closing things in
many pieces of furniture can be transformed into vanity for bathroom sink in this instance, a somewhat rustic cabinet/cupboard works well with country or cabin look
remove office space in kitchen for hutch storage for kitchen and/or open shelves also remove door to stairway to open up - assuming stairway is attractive
for bedroom short on closet space, interesting option here, plus the counter (on top of drawers) right underneath
small open kitchen with room for table and window seat, though grey cupboards should be dark blue or green or white
open shelving will require stabilization (like a small front upturned lip or edge) in the event of earthquakes
if house is short on closet space, get industrial look garment holder. needs to be attractive or unique enough to be out in the open (corner of bedroom)
if bedroom has high ceiling and large windows, brown (copper?) paint can work with good lighting and blue accents
dining table in large kitchen; scrap the island; also have open shelves instead of upper cupboards hopefully kitchen is mostly up against one wall, or two, as in an L shape
if exterior of house is painted grey with white trim (or even very pale violet) a deep eggplant/purple door may work
if there is a breakfast nook with built-ins, wainscoting on lower walls plus shelf on top can work well
deep blue wall, heavy wood beams balanced with white ceiling and white trim
counter over front loading machines, window, cupboards and cupboards painted a fun color also rod for hanging things on hangars
corner countertop on one leg great use of small space
use small tight spaces under short ceiling or under stairs to create sleeping or reading space
in bedroom (or any room?) use existing brick wall, or paint a faux brick wall
plenty of white and windows to balance heavy wood beams and window frames
coral island looks good with all white kitchen
