1. Build a Pocket Office
Every neglected space in your home is full of promise. Instead of simply using an empty stretch of wall for hanging pictures, create your very own miniature office with a small work surface perfect for completing projects, paying bills, or planning your next vacation. Use aqua paint to create a statement wall, and arrange a desk and bulletin board to help organize your thoughts.

2. Add a Fresh Coat of Paint to the Laundry Room
Washing and folding loads of laundry is infinitely more pleasant in a vibrant and inspiring space. Transform your laundry room by painting the walls productivity-boosting blue. According to a study from the University of Texas, blue enhances concentration and boasts soothing properties, so get ready to power through your laundry at lightning speed! Try Swimming SW 6764 by Sherwin-Williams to achieve the look.

3. Create Cool Locker Room-Style Storage in the Mudroom
Coming home to a tidy and charming mudroom can make any stormy day seem instantly brighter. Streamline your mudroom by adding customized, locker room-style cubbies for each member of your family. Take the design a step further by painting lockers in a beautiful shade of blue and adding magnetic boards and storage containers to keep odds and ends organized.

4. Transform Your Shed Into a She-Shed
Breathe new life into the shed that stores your old gardening tools by creating a trendy she-shed. With the help of a stylish coffee table, a beautiful coat of paint, and a handful of comfortable, weatherproof armchairs, you can create the relaxing, rustic retreat of your dreams.

5. Fashion a Beautiful Bedroom in Your Attic
You might use your attic as a collection bin for vintage clothing and family albums, but the space is also excellent for an entirely different function: a guest bedroom. If you're constantly seeking a place for visiting relatives and friends, why not convert the attic into a cozy bunk room? By simply adding curtains, a fresh coat of paint, a futon, and a plush rug, you can revamp the space into a gorgeous and guest-friendly dwelling.
