Room
design can be tricky when it comes to narrow spaces. What pieces of furniture
work best? How should the room be arranged? What are the best ways to maximize
storage? Luckily there are key design principles for skinny spaces that will
make it easy for you to love your narrow room.
- Plan a walkway. Create adistinct path through your room to give it a sense of
flow, making it easy to navigate the space. If you have a long, narrow room with
multiple defined areas, a curved walkway will provide an additional sense of
separation between the spaces.
- Choose furniture that makes the room
feel more spacious. Look for long, tapered
legs on chairs and sofas for an airy feel. Add dimension to your room by
choosing circular tables or accent pieces, which will help minimize the straight
lines of the space. Resist the urge to push all of your furniture against the
wall for more floor space; pulling pieces a few inches off of the wall will make
the room seem less narrow.
- Utilize vertical space. Whether it’s a bookcase, floating shelves, wall sconces
or an expansive photo display, make the most of the vertical space you have in
your room. Statement pieces and decor will draw the eyes up, rather than
allowing them to focus on the narrowness of the room.
- Maximize storage. A dedicated place for your belongings keeps your narrow
room from becoming cluttered and feeling crowded. Look for storage ottomans,
decorative boxes or a sleek cabinet to store your possessions in a clean and
organized way.
- Find
the perfect rug. Adding
a rug to your room will keep your furniture off the floor, which can make it
feel less cramped. If you are having trouble finding the right size rug for your
narrow space, consider an irregular-shaped rug that defies the need for
horizontal lines.

There’s
nothing like a good campfire; but who says it has to be outdoors? Create your
own indoor campfire that will allow you to experience all of the fun aspects of
sitting around a fire without the bugs!
The
Fire
The
centerpiece of campfire is, of course, the fire. While using a wood-burning, gas
or electric fireplace is the most realistic, you can still get that campfire
glow with other options. Light a handful of candles and arrange them in a fire
ring or encircle battery-operated candles with rocks and cover with sticks to
create a faux fire. Add a campfire-scented candle to make it feel like you are
enjoying the real thing.
The
Seating
With
an outdoor campfire, your seating options are usually limited to a camp chair or
a tree stump. Moving your fire indoors allows you to create a more comfortable
seating area for your guests. Set up ottomans or pillows around the fire and
offer blankets for a touch of extra coziness.
The
Food
While
you may not be able to cook food over an indoor campfire, you can still make
camp staples to eat fireside. Prepare gourmet tinfoil wrapped meals to cook in
the oven for dinner and warm up s’mores in the microwave or on the grill for
dessert.
The
Drinks
Having
quick access to your kitchen allows you to offer a wide array of drink options
while enjoying your indoor campfire. In addition to hot chocolate or hot apple
cider, you can also keep your guests toasty with campfire-inspired cocktails,
like campfire milk punch or a s’mores martini.
The
Entertainment
Campfires
and good conversation go hand-in-hand. Maybe you’ll catch up with an old friend,
dream about your future with your spouse or share stories of your childhood with
your kids. For more formal campfire entertainment, sing a few traditional
campfire songs or play games, like “Two Truths and a Lie” or “I Went to the
Market.” Take turns telling ghost stories to see who can share the scariest
tale. | | | |
Exterior
doors are designed to last for a long time, especially if they are covered by an
overhang. However, if your door is left exposed to the elements or is subjected
to an unusual amount of wear and tear, it may be time for a replacement. Instead
of rushing out the door next time you leave the house, take a moment to assess
the condition of your door.
Does
your door stick in the summer and/or become drafty in the winter?
Humidity can cause a door to expand and stick, while cooler weather can make the
door shrink and let in a draft. Often this can be remedied with a few simple
fixes. Over time, however, multiple adjustments can make the cycle of sticking
and shrinking worse and necessitate the purchase of a new door.
Is
the door weathered or cracked? The
sun, rain and other natural elements can wreak havoc on an unprotected door.
Cracks or warping can compromise your door’s structure, making it less energy
efficient and less secure for your family.
Does
moisture build up in between the glass panes on your door? If
condensation regularly collects between the glass panes on your door, address
the issue promptly to prevent the spread of mold and mildew. Balancing the
indoor and outdoor temperature can help, but if the problem
persists—particularly with glass patio doors—a new door may be needed.
Are
there dents or dings on your door?
Doors can take a beating from the bangs of large items, dogs jumping to get out
or even just an accidental kick of a boot heel. Small dents can often be fixed,
but for major issues, consider replacing the door. Some door materials damage
more easily than others, so do your homework when choosing your new door.
Do
you like the look of your door? If
you don’t like the style of your door, change it! Replacing your exterior door
is one of the easiest ways to update the character of your house.
