Swank Storage Spaces
I am an architectural design writer who often focuses on how environment can affect behavior. Before consulting privately, I received my MA in writing and ran a design boutique in Los Angeles.

In discussing design, storage gets underrated. Yet storage that works efficiently and beautifully is the product of just plain good design. These photos showcase various areas of dwellings that create extra space with style.

| These shelves set into the wall make room without taking up room. They allow detailed display of books and items and create a focal point of the room. I love the balance in this room of detail and open simplicity. |

Another example of shelving that gives detail while keeping a simplified look.

| This multipurpose table is a fantastic display of storage and function. It serves as a cooking counter and island, a kitchen table, and extra storage space. |

These strategically-placed drawers offer easy access without having to leave the sink and vanity area; and they keep the bathroom open and uncluttered.

Last year my mom had her carpenter installed lockers (much like those found in Pottery Barn Kids) for my three brothers still in school. It revolutionized their organization and avoided much "hey where did I put that math sheet" hassle. When company like me comes to stay, she assigns each guest a locker for coats and purses and a little personal space while visiting.
This is a favorite kitchen photo. The room doesn't need to be large to be fully functional. From the sturdy island to the open shelving (LOVE IT), there appears to be a place for everything--even a gumball jar. All especially important with the quick cluttered messes children can make.
Another angle of the same kitchen, with a dark armoire of storage on the other end of the room.
And a vanity area with plenty of room. Aggressive storage with a feminine touch. Every photo from this group A House in the Hamptons by Mahoney Architects is wonderful.

Tucked in shelves here allow for simple and zen-like storage.

| Here the plethora of storage is kept behind this clean slate of beautiful and slick cabinetry. Love the character of the bar stools and fantastic window. |

Emma I really like the idea of the open shelves. The first two photos are great. My only concern with them would be the dust... Any idea how to keep the accessories clean without cleaning them all the time?
