Design lesson: Reno trends

By

Customized, fresh ideas to inspire your next project.

Mud room
This is often the home's main entrance. If space is limited, create a mud room within the kitchen. Simply install a change of flooring to delineate the space, and add a hanging cupboard or closet and a bench.

Butler's pantry
This hard-working space is the ultimate luxury for those who love to entertain. A butler's pantry offers additional storage for foodstuffs, but also a secondary sink for items that should be handwashed (like crystal stemware), or even a small refrigerator and coffee station.

Gift wrap room
If you have the space, an island provides storage for papers, presents and greeting cards, as well as an ideal base for wrapping. Dowelling on the side accommodates hanging sheets of paper and rolls of ribbon. If you don't have a spare room, convert a closet, an armoire, or part of a guest room into a gift-wrapping station.

Dressing room
Keeping smaller items like jewelry, scarves, shawls, handbags, stockings and lingerie organized alongside hanging and folding storage for clothing will make mornings much simpler.
