This area can be transformed into a functional storage solution that keeps your home organized while remaining discreet. Or, you could add in a sneaky little office nook like this one from Studio Kate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/ca76d50d-fe3e-4d43-a46b-07c276987029/Joshua+Tree+House+Hacienda.png Blog - Small Home, Big Life: How to Fit Your Needs Into 1000sf or Less Every house has that corner or empty spot that makes you tilt your head to the side and say, "Why'd they build it like this?" MAKE USE OF THOSE SPACES! Add extra shelving, hooks, or a basket to the old and contain whatever you need contained. This corner open shelving solution is just lovely. From “The Hacienda” by The Joshua Tree House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/2a6c1d1d-0db4-4e2b-8818-a77629af9e29/ORL_8794.jpg Blog - Small Home, Big Life: How to Fit Your Needs Into 1000sf or Less Sure, you might only have 700 square feet of floor space, but your walls are BEGGING you to use them. Your vertical space is invaluable. The list of wall storage options goes on and on.

But there are some grown-up ways to make this space function better! Under-bed storage is an excellent way to maximize space, especially in smaller rooms. - Storage Bins: Clear plastic bins allow you to see what's inside without having to dig through them. - Rolling Drawers: These are easy to pull out and can be used for clothing, shoes, or other items. - Vacuum-Sealed Bags: Ideal for bedding or seasonal clothing, these bags reduce the volume of items significantly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/75738a74-e47f-410a-a169-9858174b99fc/Soft+Goods+Basket.png Blog - Small Home, Big Life: How to Fit Your Needs Into 1000sf or Less Think outside the box — use decorative trunks or baskets that can also serve as a design element in your room. This way, you can blend functionality with aesthetics.

Alright, this item isn't specifically eco-friendly or anything but it IS pretty cute and you can pair it with your Blueland hand soap for a more aesthetically pleasing bathroom countertop. I personally don't like having branded products sitting out, so I make sure to find countertop receptacles that are cohesive with the rest of my space. (The Blueland bottles are not very aesthetically pleasing and are made of plastic, I think.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/1f1286e5-918f-4e66-a9fe-d21d66314485/Reusable+Makeup+Wipes.png Blog - 5 Easy Sustainable Bathroom Swaps - 2. Greenzla Reusable Makeup Remover Pads Okay, people - these were a game changer for me. I am hella lazy sometimes and I don't want to do the entire face wash routine. So I often opt for wiping my face down with makeup remover wipes or using single-use cotton rounds with micellar water to clean my face at the end of a long day. I started to feel bad about all of that material just going into the trash. So I found these to use instead and I will never go back. (Except for when I travel - Simple Truth face wipes will always be in my carry-on bag.) Say hello to these eco-friendly and zero-waste reusable makeup remover pads. Designed to last for years, these super-gentle pads can be used with your favorite facial products or makeup remover. Simply wash and reuse. Plus, they come with a storage container and cotton laundry bag, making them perfect for home beauty regimes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/41eb045f-826e-438b-9868-4426ff72f315/Waffle+Towel.png Blog - 5 Easy Sustainable Bathroom Swaps - 3. Gilden Tree Waffle Towels For a sustainable and luxurious bathing experience, Gilden Tree offers waffle towels made of unbleached, undyed chemical-free cotton. Through their commitment to sustainability since 1990, Gilden Tree has been at the forefront of environmentally responsible manufacturing before it was cool. With cold-dye processing and certified organic ingredients, every detail is considered to minimize impact. Their towels not only look and feel great but also embody conscious living. I like the "modern" version, but there is a classic option as well - the only difference being the size of the waffle pattern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/c0d112ef-3cf4-42dc-aca7-54d98ca44ca9/Bamboo+q-tips Blog - 5 Easy Sustainable Bathroom Swaps - 1. Bamboo Cotton Q-Tips from EcoFox Let's start with a small yet significant swap - biodegradable, organic, and eco-friendly bamboo cotton q-tips. This small change can make a real difference in your plastic output - especially if you are using cotton swaps every day. Ditch those plastic ones and opt for these planet-friendly alternatives. By making this simple change, you're reducing waste and making a positive impact on the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/4311b7bc-4462-4c21-ab86-192329c21e5a/Blueland.png Blog - 5 Easy Sustainable Bathroom Swaps - 5. Blueland Handsoap After trying other eco-friendly brands, Blueland products have become a staple in my home. I use their laundry detergent, their hand soap and am planning on switching to their toilet bowl cleaner as soon as I run out of my current bottle. I am sensitive to overpowering smells but these lovely scents don't bother me at all. In fact, I LOVE them. They smell and feel luxurious to use while making me feel good about my impact because Blueland goes above and beyond to provide safer and sustainable options for needs. Eliminate plastic waste and shipping water with Blueland's eco-friendly foaming hand soap tablets. Simply fill your soap pump with water, drop in a tablet, and watch it dissolve to create 9oz of hypoallergenic foaming hand soap. With clean ingredients and certifications like EPA Safer Choice, Leaping Bunny Cruelty-Free, Vegan, B Corp Certified, and Climate Neutral, I think everyone should make the switch. (I swear this is not an ad...I'm just actually in love.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/8a7f92bb-3706-4a3e-8ab0-7719b33741aa/Foot+Scrubber.png Blog - 5 Easy Sustainable Bathroom Swaps - 4. Gilden Tree Terra Cotta Foot Scrubber I'm guilty of buying cheap foot scrubbers and tossing them the second they become just a little gross - or worse yet, losing them before they've even reached the end of their life. So join me in trying to do better. This is another wonderful product from Gilden Tree. Their Terra Cotta Foot Scrubber is made by women in the Indian Subcontinent using traditional techniques and they are crafted to last 5 or more YEARS. (A far cry from my near-single-use scrubbers). Hand-formed, sun-dried, and fired in a kiln, they never wear out. Gilden Tree values minimizing waste by reusing packaging materials and encouraging retailers to do the same. Rest assured, their products are vegan and never tested on animals. As you can tell his company is one that I'm pretty excited about. https://www.designsbyhlb.com/blog/9-iconic-chairs-that-changed-the-world monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/46095781-908f-4d2d-9648-8d24004b89eb/Ekstrem+Chair+Teal.jpg Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - EKSTREM CHAIR (Prototype: 1972 - Official Launch: 1984) Designer: Terje Ekstrom - Norway Reminiscent of Gumby doing a backbend, this chair is a bold statement that adds a touch of avant-garde style to any space. With its unconventional shape and striking angles, it becomes a conversation starter and a delightful surprise for anyone who encounters it. This Post-Modern chair allows the user to sit in many comfortable and natural positions rather than forcing a straight-backed, formal posture. Praised for its limitless flexibility, sculptural and rebel-esque nature, it became an 80's icon. This true statement piece and sometimes polarizing Ekstrem chair deserves a spot in history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/55a01ea1-2f95-4ce1-815b-e9ec5faa4c8b/20.jpg Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - PANTON (1967) Designer: Verner Panton - Denmark Designed by the visionary Verner Panton, this chair is another true icon of Modern design. This chair pushed the physical limits of manufacturing. After years of prototyping and redesigning, Vitra and Panton used cold-pressed, glass-fiber-reinforced polyester to create this famous shape. Today, we may frown upon plastic creations, but at the time, it was the first of its kind: a one-piece, all-plastic chair with a cantilever design. The sculptural, curvy shape and bright colors matched the energy of the 60s perfectly. Whether you use it as a statement piece in your living room or as a stylish addition to your dining area, the Panton Chair is sure to make a lasting impression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/40e1a896-ba89-478c-bf42-73d30d48cb44/Le+Corbusier+Black+and+Chrome+Chair Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - THE FAUTEUIL GRAND CONFORT - (1928 - 1930) Designer: Le Corbusier- France/Sweden Le Corbusier, the renowned architect and designer, teamed up with Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret to create a chair that challenged the traditional Club Chair. The result? The awe-inspiring Grand Confort. Le Corbusier, always pushing the boundaries of design, wanted to create a "machine for sitting in." His vision was to showcase the structural elements on the outside, giving the chair an industrial yet elegant appeal. Inspired by the German Bauhaus movement, the Grand Confort features a tubular steel "corset" that holds together the bulging, cubist leather cushions. This modernist masterpiece stands as a testament to Le Corbusier's innovative spirit and his desire to create furniture that embodies both form and function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/5d8724e9-a795-4eb0-8c4b-a999f099c78b/Green+Vegetal+Chair.jpg Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - VEGETAL (2008) Designer: Bouroullec Brothers & Vitra - France Inspired by the organic forms found in nature, this mesmerizing chair features a delicate and intricate lattice-like structure that mimics branches and leaves. Its ergonomic design embraces your body, providing both comfort and support. This whimsical and versatile chair was meant to look like it had "sprouted up like a plant with branches to form the seat and back." The use of polyamide and injection molding technology allowed them to create this lightweight, stacking, and universally easy-to-use chair. Nature has always been a profound source of inspiration for designers, and the Vegetal Chair is a testament to the transformative power of incorporating organic elements into our living spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/753250bc-d1e6-4d7f-8edb-7c45db79a484/15.jpg Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - BIBENDUM - (1926) Designer: E ileen Gray - Ireland Eileen Gray, although not fully recognized in a male-dominated field until after her passing, rose to become one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. The Bibendum chair, with its curvaceous and feminine form, exudes comfort and style. Made from soft leather, tire-like padded tubes, and tubular steel, this masterpiece was unlike anything seen before. Its name, Bibendum, comes from the Cleopatra Ode: 'Now is the time to drink', perfectly capturing its purpose of relaxation and social connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/6c4403d0-c3f0-425a-81b7-967effa82f77/Tulip+Chair+White+and+Grey.jpg Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - THE TULIP (1953) Designer: Eero Saarinen - Finland/The United States Son of designers Eliel and Loja Saarinen, Eero Saarinen was destined for design. He had a long-standing hatred for the visual clutter that 4 legged chairs created. He believed that they made for a "confusing and unrestful world" and so, he came up with the 1-legged chair, AKA the Tulip. With its perfect proportions and modern lines, this MCM "Space Age" line of furniture also includes tables, armchairs, and stools. Today, you'll find this chair all over the world inside contemporary, minimalist, eclectic, and modernist homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/46ba2752-03c0-4888-8839-5ccffb267c4a/Light+Wood+Wishbone+Chair Blog - 9 Iconic Chairs That Changed the World - THE WISHBONE - (1949) Designer: Hans Wegner Meet the Wishbone chair, an iconic piece of furniture that has become a must-have for modern design enthusiasts around the world.

The clean lines and timeless silhouette create a harmonious balance, making it a versatile piece that complements a wide range of interior styles.

Not only does this innovative material provide a comfortable seating experience, but it also lends a sense of texture and warmth to the chair's overall design. Since its official introduction in 1950, this mid-century modern masterpiece has remained in continuous production, standing strong as a symbol of enduring style. Its ability to transcend trends and seamlessly integrate into various design narratives is a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and enduring appeal.

This piece focuses on femininity, asymmetry, and elaborate ornament. One can get a sense of the wealth culture by viewing the bronze work, ormolu, and detailed carvings. The round back and cabriole leg are defining features, as well as the use of colors associated with China and Japan, as Chinoiserie and lavish living were Europe's obsessions at the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/3293504b-73aa-4333-8f9a-96146981e8ae/14.jpg Blog - Classic Chairs That Changed the World - THE MORRIS - (1865 / 1892) William Morris - England / Gustav Stickley - States The first reclining chair! Lazyboy's much more refined and low-tech ancestor. Here I've sampled the original version, on the left, created by William Morris in 1865 and the Mission-style version, on the right, designed by Gustav Stickley in 1904. Both focus on comfort and adjustability. They are unequivocally cozy armchairs. There are hundreds of styles of the Morris Chair, each depicting the maker's own values. An interesting case study indeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/e1ed9a26-e188-40f2-9b81-3e8305710414/13.jpg Blog - Classic Chairs That Changed the World - ART NOUVEAU BERGERE - (1891 - 1892) Louis Comfort Tiffany - The States Louis Comfort Tiffany is famous for his lamps. (You know them - stained glass; featuring natural elements like plants, insects, and birds). But his furniture designs are also an important part of history. Here you can view the distinctive "micro-mosaic" marquetry and detailed yet stylistic floral carvings, predominant motifs of the Art Nouveau movement. These sophisticated chairs blend the Sheraton leg style with ball and claw feet, reminiscent of more ancient designs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/043799e7-6bde-47ac-a8d5-708aaa8c9eef/12.jpg Blog - Classic Chairs That Changed the World - THE BENTWOOD - (1850s) Michael Thonet - Austria Often called "The Chair of Chairs", this design uses the novel idea of using steam to bend wood. This chair won the gold medal in the 1867 World Fair in Paris and quickly became recognized as THE cafe chair. Numerous versions have been edited and remade, including a 1970s classic that we'll see later on! Ergonomic, lightweight, and absolutely gorgeous, Thonet Chairs have our hearts forever and ever amen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/1adbfa5f-643b-41c4-992f-715dab0fe2a9/9.jpg Blog - Classic Chairs That Changed the World - LOUIS XVI ARMCHAIR - (1760 - 1790) Jean-Henri Riesener German-born French designer The Louis XVI chair is a return to Greek and Roman models. A true neoclassic style with fluted legs, a rounded back, and elegant gentle curves, it's a far cry from the Louis XV Rococo chair of Louis XV. Chairs from this time frame feature much less floral marquetry but the many gilded surfaces & high craftsmanship remain. The focus on plush comfort remains evident. While Chinoiserie continued to be popular, a new love of geometrical patterns is evident in the furniture of this era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/37f75b79-d087-4cfc-b33b-9e7bfce10676/8.jpg Blog - Classic Chairs That Changed the World - THE QUEEN ANNE - (1720s - 1780s) William Savery - The United States This formal chair originated during the reign of Queen Anne but was not made popular (nor given it's name) until 1720, after she died. This style favors a refined appearance with graceful lines and high-quality dark woods such as walnut, cherry, and mahogany. The fiddle back and S curves are common features among all Queen Anne furniture. A nod to Ancient Egyptian chairs, the pad feet are also typical of this style. You're likely to find this style of chair all across the world inside traditional-style homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68dc0c9f1c01aa0a864d1dbf/67e8d62f-5bde-4db4-abc5-8d11c7c284c5/10.jpg Blog - Classic Chairs That Changed the World - ORIGINAL SHAKER - (1775 - 1825) Shaking Quakers - The United States This chair was developed by a religious sect commonly known as 'Shakers' or Quaking Shakers.
