Organising 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 pale, neutral colours to make your workspace feel larger.
Zone it
Divide your space into different zones using screens, bookcases or even large plants.
Shelve it
Take 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.
Decorative extras
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 beneath 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
Multi-functional furniture is great, especially when space is at a premium. Try storage boxes that double as stools.
Meeting area
For ultimate flexibility use tables and chairs to section off an area of your workspace for use at break-times or for meetings.
Freedom of movement
Furniture on castors makes it easy to change the layout of your workspace whenever you feel like it.
