How Do I Make My Multipurpose Space Go From Blah to Wow in My Home in Tampa Bay?

Multipurpose spaces are all the rage these days. They're a great way to save space in your home, and they can be a lot of fun to use. But if you're not careful, multipurpose spaces can quickly become cluttered and disorganized. Creating a multipurpose space can be a great way to save space and money. It can also be a lot of fun to come up with creative ways to use your space. 

Here are a few tips on how to create a multipurpose space that looks good and functions well:

1.  Plan ahead. Before you start decorating, take some time to think about how you're going to use your space. What activities do you want to be able to do there? Once you determine what you need the space for, you can start planning the layout and choosing furniture. This questionnaire will help you start planning for your project. 

2.  Choose furniture that can do double duty. There are a lot of great pieces of furniture on the market that can be used for multiple purposes. For example, a sofa bed can be used for both seating and sleeping, and a coffee table with storage can be used for both entertaining and storing items. In this photo below the couch is also a pull out bed and the black custom built in doubles as storage for electronics, games, and an office space. 


3. Use storage solutions to keep things tidy. Multipurpose spaces can quickly become cluttered, so it's important to have a good storage system in place. Accent Your Walls offers a variety of storage solutions to fit any space and all of your needs. Check out this recent blog with additional tips about how to maximize storage in a small space.



4. Add personality with accessories. Once you have the basics in place, you can start adding personality to the space with accessories. Choose items that reflect your style and that will make the space feel inviting. If you need help choosing the right accessories or home decor for your space, Accent Your Walls can help. We have Trade Programs in place with some of the top local Tampa stores, like Ballard Designs, to ensure we can help you select the best options for your space and save you money. 

5. Don't be afraid to mix and match. There's no need to stick to a single style when decorating a multipurpose space. You can mix and match different styles to create a unique and eclectic space. Be flexible and know that your wants and needs may change in the future, especially with young children in the household. In the photo below there are cubbies for toys that can be moved around along with a fun space for kids to swing! The brick accent wall is actually peel and stick wall paper done by Accent Your Walls which adds dimension to the space and can be easily removed if needs change in the future. 



By following these tips, you can create a multipurpose space that looks good and functions well. So don't be afraid to get creative and have fun with it!

Here are some additional tips for creating a multipurpose space:

· Use color and pattern to create zones. For any size space, wall color or wall/floor texture can help define the area differently. All of the frames and floating shelf in the photo below are black which ties the design together, while showcasing different interests of the client. 



· Use lighting to create different moods in the space. For example, you could use dimmer lights for relaxing and brighter lights for working. Applying proper window treatments can help with heating and cooling costs as well as using room darkening shades or drapes if the space will be used for sleeping. The main light is also a fan and the small table top lamp provides accent lighting at night. 



· You may consider adding plants to the space to add life and color. Plants can also help to improve the air quality in the space. Here is a link to some nice fake plants to add color and another link to a self watering device that will help keep real plants alive indoors.

· Keep the space clean and tidy. This will help to make the space feel more inviting and functional. Remember, everything should have a place. 

With some careful planning, you can create a multipurpose space that is both stylish and functional. The most important thing is to create a space that works for you and your family.

Here are 5 simple tips: 1. Break It Up. Cut the vast amount of work into more feasible work by dividing the work into stages and splitting the tasks up over several days, or in my case by the week. At the beginning I was so overwhelmed and so I had to create little ‘wins’ along the way. Completing one task, then moving onto the next also allowed us to live in the space while completing the organizing. As you can imagine, this Lego sorting took most of the week, but was not done in one sitting. I was able to score these acrylic storage drawers second hand but here is one  link and then  another  for a similar product. 2. Sort, Sort, Sort.
