Amp Up Your Storage Space

Designer: Ty Larkins

Size: 65 square feet

Before: It was a plain drywall box with hardwood flooring. Let's be honest—don't all of our closets look like that?

The Transformation: "Aesthetically, I wanted to create an old-school gentleman's haberdashery that also felt fashion forward," Ty says. "To do so, I painted the entire space a dark chocolate brown and added classic detailing, such as vintage hardware on the built-in drawers to give them the look of a freestanding antique English chest."

Small-Space Advice: "Switch outdated knobs or pulls. It does wonders on old furniture."
