Organizing a small space
Got your dream business address, but worried the space is too small? By cleverly dividing your studio or gallery into various areas of activity, you'll find out that what you have is just enough.
Open it up
Paint your room in pale, neutral colours to maximise the feeling of space.
Zone it
Divide your space into different zones using screens, bookcases or even large plants.
Shelve it
Chances are you don't have a lot of floor space, so start by taking advantage of vertical space and empty walls with mountable shelves and bookcases.
Keep it light
Open shelving requires less room and lets the light flow through, creating the illusion of space.
Decorate and store
Use the empty space below your shelves. Place a few hooks underneath them to hang cups, keys, bells or other decorative things.
Look up
Create a loft area for extra storage and use the space underneath it to create your home office or media zone.
More space
Frame a mirror and hang it on the wall to reflect light and give the impression of more space.
Multi-functional
Furnish your studio with multifunctional furniture, like a storage box that doubles as a stool.
Meeting area
Create a break area that can double up as a meeting spot. Sectional tables and seating allows for maximum flexibility.
Freedom of movement
Fill your space with furniture on casters that can be moved around whenever you feel like changing its layout.
