Functional, Yet Stylish!

When you live in a small space, you realize your decor needs to serve multiple purposes.  You need functionality! I will show you several decor pieces that are super stylish and help you be organized!

I have recently fallen in love with the idea of leaning ladders in the living room for a great way to display your throws you like to cuddle up with while watching a movie.  You can use it in your entry way for almost anything, your purse, scarf, etc. or in your living room for blankets, or in the bedroom for items you use daily, like your towel and robe!

Have you noticed the metal fans that are everywhere now?!?!  Here is a tall copper fan that is super stylish and obviously functional just in time for summer.  I recently saw several short table size metal fans at T.J. Maxx for a reasonable price!

I think most people that have a coffee table have a tray to go on top.  Using a tray in your living room can help you stay uncluttered.  You can have your remotes and magazines along with a small decorative piece, maybe even a small vase of fresh flowers.  You can also use a decorative tray in your bathroom for your makeup or just putting cute jars of cotton balls and q-tips; or, on your dresser to display your jewelry!

 If you are a renter like me, then plug-in wall sconces are very handy!  But, they are best for the person who has tons of things (crap) on their nightstand (again, like me).  You can hang them right at                          your bedside and not have to worry about taking any space.

Now here is an Ikea hack that is both stylish and functional!  Take a slatted bed base and it becomes a wall mounted organizer!  Best part, it's only $9.99!!

Wallpaper

Wallpaper! It's not just for Grandma, anymore!

Wallpaper made it's comeback in 2014, according to dailynews.com, and it has only grown in popularity since.  I'll have to admit, I didn't jump on the bandwagon right away.  I think for most of us, when we think of wallpaper, we think of grandma's house with the old floral pattern and peeling corners.  But now, "wallpaper is not only back in the biggest way imaginable, but it’s fun, modern and customized. I think everyone should use it,” said Christian May, a Southern California interior design blogger and owner of Maison21 Interior Design in Los Angeles".  All the examples you see in this are removable!  Because I am a renter, I decided to show what I would be interested in.  I love how much they add to the rooms!  there is literally thousands of patterns to choose from, Etsy has several sellers that allow you to design your own!!
