Decorating Small Spaces

Inspired by this breezeway’s six different doorways, Debbie Perez, owner of Tweak Your Space, redesigned the room to have six of the functions on the homeowners’ wish list for a do-it-all space: doing homework, watching TV, folding laundry, organization, lounging and painting. Now, the family does all of the above and more at the luxurious chaise lounge and custom-built hightop table, which accommodates both sitting and standing work. Perez repainted the walls and ceiling white to help disguise the durable tile floor needed for this heavily traversed space between the kitchen, backyard and front door. She also added a full entryway set to organize sports equipment, shoes and backpacks by family member (including the dog, Lucy).
