Cleverly built into this nook with a view is a place for catnaps, clothing, and cuddling with a good book. With so many uses nestled into one space, there is more room for important things, like play.More: Corral Your Things in a Makeshift MudroomBrowse: Storage Boxes and Bins

Triggs likes the story of the ladder in the daughter's bedroom: she and Kalmbach had liked the idea of stationing a ladder there from the start, but Owen wasn't so sure. The one seen here was also purchased at Maison Reve, and all three agreed it was perfect. The bed is original to the home, but used to be in dark wood tones. They brightened it with white paint and bedding Garnet Hill, and chose one of Owen's paintings that carries through a touch of the bedding's pink color. The light is from IKEA.

If you’re renovating, building or just collecting ideas for the future, consider custom-built bed cubbies. Again, they’re great space savers, especially when surrounded by built-in storage. Add windows to brighten the nook during the day.

Here’s another example where the view is maximized by a lengthwise placement. If you’re considering a renovation, built-in storage around the bed will create a hiding place for everything.

3. While this entire home was a huge hit on Houzz this year, users really loved this simple child's bedroom. The elevated bookshelf with a ladder was an especially popular touch. Users also liked the idea of making a built-in bed near a window with a view.

6. Wash windows. I swear by cleaning with a wet sponge, followed by a wipe-down with a rubber-edged squeegee. But some moms over at the Green Baby Guide use the old-fashioned method of wiping window panes with a newspaper and vinegar-water spray.

Neutral, cozy and playful all at once. This built-in bed is the perfect kid sanctuary, and the ladder up to the high shelves makes it fun. This could go from toddler room to guest room with just a load of laundry.

12. Clean up toys. Of course there will be families with children looking at your home, but just because they have kids too doesn't mean seeing toys strewn everywhere will sell them on the place. When people are house hunting, they are imagining a fresh start. Show them that in this house, it is possible to have a beautifully organized kids' room, and they might be swayed.

3. Built-in bed. Create an oasis for your child with an all-encompassing built-in bed. Incorporate open shelving for books, plus drawers and doors for clothing. Definitely kid approved.
