Improving the functionality of your home

Most of us have been working from home these past few months and had the need to create a new workspace or two. Maybe it meant converting the dining room into a classroom, or the den into a second office. One of the great things about being a homeowner is the ability to change, redesign or add something new at any time.

Maximize the use of your space by first utilizing unused space and designing it to serve various purposes throughout the day. Here are some ideas to improve your home’s functionality as well as its appearance.

• Get rid of the clutter - losing the junk is probably the easiest way to improve a space’s function and appearance - now you can reclaim that space with something practical.

• Up your storage game - Now that you have cleared up the clutter you can start designing around your ideas . When thinking of a space’s layout get creative with modern storage solutions to keep things organized and easy to find.

• Make space multi-functional - Do you have a room in the house that gets no use? Is it a guest bedroom that could become your dream walk-in closet? Can you add a yoga mat and dumbbells to the family room so you can squeeze in a few reps while watching your favourite Netflix show? Do you have ample wall space that could become your home theatre with the help of a projector?

Have some fun with it, be creative and really make the most of your home.
