 ( NewsUSA ) There’s no such thing as too much storage space. And that goes double for thoughtfully designed, carefully constructed cabinets, closets, shelves, and other home storage solutions. "The most successful built-in storage answers a specific need," notes Linda Jovanovich, of the American Hardwood Information Cente r. "It might be micro scale, like a drawer to store and charge electronic devices, or a macro project, such as outfitting an entire mudroom, but its usefulness, durability, and aesthetics will depend on how good the planning, materials, and execution are. Hardwood’s versatility, strength, and good looks make it an ideal starting point when considering most home storage problems." Here are six inspiring examples of what Linda is talking about.  1.

  Everything counts when it comes to arranging or decorating a small room. Otherwise, it will feel stuffy, confining, and uncomfortable. But it's all about technique - knowing what colors to use, where to place your furniture, and what elements to place to give the illusion that you have a much larger space. When you know how to do it right, there's so much you can do with a tiny space in your home!

A light-colored wall will also make a room feel airy because it's reflective and maximizes the effects of natural light. To take it even further, try painting your wall mold or trim an even lighter shade than your wall paint - this way, the walls will appear like they're farther back, making the area look eve...

  Written by: Roza Izrailova  While looking for doors, you will find two completely different styles: slab doors and pre-hung doors . This difference mostly goes to light as you plan to buy and install the door by yourself, without calling repair people or installers. In fact, if you purchase not the proper door type, it will not suit your doorframe. Prehung door – what does it mean? A pre-hung door is a door slab, which is already connected by hinges to a doorframe with three sides. Manufacturers usually sell it as a full and complete package.

Before selling, the pre-hung door is properly packaged and tightened to the frames. Usually, polyester tension straps used for packaging. Plastic spacers also prevent the doors from twisting and damaging in time of delivery. Wh...
