Ditch the dorm, co-ordinate shared space

Student house has relaxed vibe KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For college kids who move off-campus, learning to accommodate the styles and needs of housemates is good practice for life after school. Take Erica Weidrick and Caitrin Curtis, students at the University of North Carolina who are moving into a new townhouse with a third friend. While they’d all been living together for a year already in a dorm, they wanted some organization and style help with their new arrangement. We’ve looked at some typical problem areas and included advice from two designers on how to solve them:

FRONT DOOR DUMP “We all come in and just drop our stuff in a pile and

sometimes mail gets lost or keys disappear — usually when we’re late,” says Weidrick. Ve ro n i c a Va l e n c i a , a Los Angeles-based designer and stylist, suggests setting up a bin for each housemate and not allowing any overflow. “It’s true, we hit the front door and everything we’ve been hauling all day falls to the floor,” says Valencia, who blogs at DesignHunterLA.com. “If it doesn’t fit in the bin, you have to put it away immediately,” she says. “I love fabric bins or wood crates. If you have an entry table, consider fabric-wrapped magazine boxes, one for each person.” Weidrick and Curtis also liked a wall shelf with hooks and small baskets.

CLUTTER “The living room is a challenge because that’s where we spend most of our time, so it’s where most of our junk ends up. It’s hard to keep a shared space organized when everyone is coming and going at different times,” Curtis says.

What they need is stylish storage where the clutter can hide when company comes. Va l e n c i a ’s fix: “Two words: Storage ottomans!” Consider an ottoman in faux leather or suede, with a flip-top tray that can be used as a resting place for TV remotes, phones and snack dishes. Clutter can be scooped inside when the need arises and, voila! The ottoman provides extra seating. M.Elodie Froment, PBteen’s vice-president for product development, suggests using a pair of trunks. “They’re great because you can store extra blankets and other essentials.”

COMMON-AREA STYLE “We all want our shared space to be warm and relaxed, like our bedrooms,” says Curtis. “But the living room and kitchen are supposed to be social spots and it’s nice to be able to change the atmosphere from ‘just chilling’ to ‘hosting a party.’ ”
