If you’re like us, you have way too many clothes and not enough space to put them in. We all need to do some clearing out in our closets, but if you’re just not ready to let go of those 90s pumps, we have the perfect place for you to store them! This bed provides storage underneath it for all of those items that just won’t fit in your closet anymore. By just sliding out the drawers, it reveals hidden storage compartments that are perfect for all the clothes that you don’t wear very often, but want to keep! It also keeps dust out so that the clothes don’t get dirty. Now, you basically have a second secret dresser under your bed!

Who could forget about the bathroom?? This piece is the ultimate compact storage item for your small bathroom space! It takes up very little space while also being big enough to accommodate rolls of toilet paper, cosmetics, small linens, cleaning products and more. It’s the perfect way to eliminate clutter in your bathroom and free up some space under the counter for more beauty products! This piece takes up far less space than your regular sized cabinet and keeps everything organized so that you won’t have to shout for more toilet paper!

If you know you’re pretty disorganized in your bedroom, we have a storage idea just for you! Building a platform bed with lots of cupboards and drawers underneath is perfect for concealing all the junk that you want to keep but don’t particularly want to see. With all of this storage space, you can just throw your books, notes, papers, files, and even clothes into all of your built-in drawers, and the best part is nobody would ever know! Keep your messiness a secret with these easy access cupboards and you’re bedroom will always look clean!

So that’s it! Here’s just a few of our ideas to include in your home, or maybe just dream about in hopes that someday they’ll magically appear in your house. We hope you take our ideas into consideration when cleaning out your spaces!

Interior designers have a secret weapon when it comes to helping clients visualize their finished home. We call it 3D rendering. Many home owners are starting to use different softwares on their own and learning how to use them as they go, so they can imagine their perfected home. You might have a few questions about it, such as what is 3d rendering, why does it help, and which software should you use? Well, you’re in luck! We have answers for you. Keep reading to kill the curiosity.

What is 3D Rendering?

3D rendering is a creative process that utilizes certain software to create a 3d visualization that includes all details. The 2D image should come out looking similar to a photograph or cinematography, because you will be able to add in all the lighting and stage the entire home. Here’s an example of a 3D rendered image…

Why Does It Help?

The image helps homeowners get a realistic visual of their space, and it makes every idea come together to create one design. This also helps make more sense to the homeowner so they can decide if everything is placed exactly where they want it and have it come out exactly how they would like. By seeing this and making these decisions in a software, you can save the homeowners from making a few costly mistakes!

Which Software Should You Use?

Even though we do suggest going through a designer because of experience and design knowledge, we want to share with you the most user-friendly softwares that homeowners can use on their own. There are two that are free and very easy to use: Olioboard and AutoDesk Homestyler. You can use them for something just as simple as deciding if you want a specific piece of artwork hung on which wall at what level, because seeing it all first definitely helps save you from all that handy work and nailing into your wall repetitively in different areas.
