People living in small and confined urban spaces will appreciate any creative idea that increases the utility and livability of the living space. Johann Beach, a self-proclaimed expert in do-it-yourself projects, helped her friend turn underutilized space into a favorite nook. Chicago apartment had an unused space at a ground level just below the main staircase. With a limited budget, they cleaned the space which was quite dirty and added decorations, all for under $100. The end result was a patio that can be used even on colder days.
Key Takeaways:
- Johanna Beach turned an unused space under apartment stairs into a cozy reading nook.
- She had only $100 to spend on it, but she shopped around and used her resources creatively.
- The nook ended up with two small cushioned seats, a marble table, curtains, and ambient lighting(and a rug for the floor!).
