Mirror Mirror?

Ever have too many accessories and not enough space on your vanity table? 


That's the thing about being a girl, there's always not enough room for all of our things! From oversized bags to shelves of whatnots, we can never have enough storage space. So during one of my late nights, I found a perfect way to store and display accessories. Check out Below SRP and their Full Length Mirror-Accessory Case. I like how the seller calls it, I quote: "a medicine cabinet for fashionistas." 

This full length mirror converts into an accessory case without taking up more of your vanity table area. Aside from having a mirror, you save your room from all the clutter and yourself, from buying all those accessory racks that are never enough for everything. The size is 143cm x 41cm x 9cm and is fully-lined with velvet. How convenient is it for your accessories to be right in there whilst you decide on your outfit for the day? And I especially like how organized your accessories are stored in there. There's a slot for almost everything you ever need! 

SEE!!!

It comes in three available colors:

White Rectangular Mirror at P11,990

Cherry Wood Rectangular Mirror at P12,990

White Butterfly Magnet Mirror at P13,990

It's usually sold at a range of P15,000-23,000 but buying it from Below SRP definitely is a nice deal!

Thanks Below SRP for letting me blog about this!

Designing for Small Spaces

When I was in New York, I stumbled upon this book in Barnes and Noble titled: "Designing for Small Spaces" and though I never found it here in the Philippines, at least I have the internet in case I need ideas. So in case you don't have enough space in your room, here are a couple of design ideas you can try out. 

Option #1: Multi-purpose furniture

Some wooden bed frames have empty space underneath and it just collects dust and dirt. So instead of wasting space, why not convert it to extra storage space? You can actually contact a carpenter to build you additional drawers and shelves. You can all add some storage behind the headboard, especially if its just plain.

Option #2: Loft style living

The idea of a loft is creating a "second floor" in a high ceiling room. If you're lucky enough to have one that's past 8ft. high, you can definitely use this alternative! But don't fret, 8ft. rooms can do this as well, it all depends on high your levels will be. This is definitely a good alternative to create space for a small room. You can double the use of one area without making the room look smaller.

Remember the bunk bed? Well, this is the one-person alternative. Convert the underneath into a small study area and when you're done doing work, the bed's right up there for your easy access!

You need to have a ladder or stairs for access to the "Second Floor." With your stuff concentrated in one area,  the clear space makes the room look bigger and can accommodate more stuff; like a small floor seating area perhaps? 

Pull-out beds don't need to be pulled out from another bed.  The option of a pull out is very space saving. During the day, you can simply push it back in and have more space. You can pull it out half way and use it like a couch/day bed. Or pull it out completely from underneath and position it somewhere else in your room. Maybe perhaps in front of the TV in case you want to have a movie marathon. 

Option #3: Built-ins

If you have a bare wall, the best way to completely utilize it is installing built-ins. I recommend using built-ins because  they are customized to your room, as well as, your needs. It can easily be installed and rearranged, and it is very inexpensive. You can install hanging shelves, a table, cabinets, and the like. The thing about built-ins, they're not furniture. They can really utilize every part of that bare wall.
