Using your imagination and thinking a little outside the proverbial box you can now have office space or a place to sit, read and put your feet up, even a place to store a little clutter out of the view of others all within the same square feet as before. Just create a cool room divider.
And don’t forget the easiest thing of all, just by rearranging some furniture or adding a bar height table behind a couch you can create the sense of another space.
