  1. Make it inviting.
    White walls, shelving,
    and flooring make a
    small space feel bright
    and open. Adding
    accessories in a unified
    color scheme (like
    the pastels here) and
    a few carefully chosen
    accents (we like gold)
    give it eye appeal.
    2. Have a seat.
    It makes sense to have
    a comfy place to sit
    while you put on your
    shoes. Cross base
    upholstered bench,
    in Dusty Blush, $349,
    westelm.com. Shag
    Champagne rug, by
    Martha Stewart Safavieh,
    $285, wayfair.com.
    3. Flip and fold.
    Raise the leaf of a wall-
    mounted table to make
    a flat surface for fold-
    ing; lower it for more
    changing-room space.
    Norberg drop-leaf
    table, $39, and Stave
    mirror, $50, ikea.com.


DRESS UP YOUR CLOSET


When you’re organizing your closet, look for storage
solutions that are stylish and practical—because when you
have a closet that’s as considered as the rest of the
rooms in your home, you’re more likely to find serenity
in the morning. (And maybe that missing blouse, too.)

A full-length
mirror turns
a closet into
a one-stop
dressing room.


Storing shoes
off the floor
gives the space
a cleaner
appearance.

Adding labels to
lidded bins saves
time when you’re
looking for tucked-
away items.
