Styling ‘Forgotten Spaces’
When designing a home, it’s easy to focus on the main rooms like the living area, kitchen, and bedrooms, while often overlooking smaller or transitional spaces. However, styling these “forgotten spaces”—such as hallways, staircases, and utility areas—can make a significant difference in the overall feel of your home. At BOWERBIRD we believe that every corner of a space has potential and deserves attention. Here’s how you can transform these often-neglected areas into stylish, functional, and integral parts of your home.
- Hallways
Hallways are often considered nothing more than corridors to move between rooms, but they can be so much more. With the right design elements, a hallway can become an inviting and visually interesting part of your home. Use artwork to create a gallery effect. Incorporate a statement runner or rug. Add functional storage for storing everyday essentials or displaying decorative items.
- Staircases
Staircases are a natural focal point within a home but are often left untouched in terms of decor. With thoughtful styling, you can transform a staircase into a striking design element. Utilise the wall space, add a stylish handrail or balustrade or Incorporate statement lighting.
- Landings and Nooks
Landings and small nooks often go underutilised, but with a little creativity, they can become cozy and functional areas. Create a reading corner, install built-in shelving, add a statement piece or use mirrors to open up the space.
- Entryways
Entryways are the first impression guests have of your home, and they should reflect your style while also being functional. Whether it’s a striking console table, art, or an eye-catching light fixture, choose a statement piece that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
At BOWERBIRD we believe that no space is too small or unimportant to be styled thoughtfully. Looking to transform your home’s forgotten spaces? Contact us today and let us help you style every corner with care and creativity.
