Floor-to-ceiling built-ins with a clean, minimalist exterior is great for that uncluttered look. To prevent it from looking too empty, carve out a niche where you can incorporate a space-enlarging mirror and display decorative items in. Totally chic and functional!

For a bit of a quirky vibe, opt for a mixture of see-through and opaque doors. It’s handy for hiding away things you never want people to see, and give a hint as to the things you do want displayed.

A floating sideboard? Yes please! This is a great idea to dress up a bare wall in a functional yet stylish manner. Opt for a striking colour to really make it pop. The floating effect makes for easy cleaning too.

Entryways need not be boring spaces – some carpentry magic can really bring it to life and create more space for all your things. Greet guests with some ornaments on display as well, or keep the decor minimal with simple house plants to liven up the place.
