To say that people are spending more time in their home nowadays is an understatement.  Recent years have seen an unprecedented growth in the requirements we have for the space we occupy – our home now also functions part time as office, classroom, gym or even retreat. This could easily quickly get out of hand and create a lot of clutter and an increased demand for storage, which takes precious space and subsequently makes us feel frustrated, anxious and stressed.

A new challenge for interior design – how do you make the most of your home, when you are facing the restrictions of limited space and time. The answer according us is a combination of simplicity and multifunctional elements. When redesigning your home, it’s worth taking a moment to consider where you could introduce multifunctional elements. This approach is very important for larger rooms, which serve multiple purposes, but can be just as effective in small spaces, such as bathrooms.

A simple yet very elegant solution is to use dead space for storage or organization – like we did with our EARA and ELIZA basins. Another way to introduce a multifunctional element is via the use of mounting brackets. They may be a functional element first and foremost, but did you know they can also replace that awkward towel rail or hanger – and look good while doing it!

Carefully thought out, simple solutions are the way forward.
