Every house, no matter the style, age or size, will inevitably have an awkward space, a box room, a nook here and a cranny there. Or, like me, your house may be a small awkward box. Ever wondered how to make the most of those infuriating small spaces? Well, mydeco is here to help. I’ve been busy uploading hundreds of inspirational images to the site, so you don’t have to spend hours searching for ideas.

Got a bit of space in the attic but the slanted ceiling taking up most of it? Yes, it may not be big enough to add another bedroom to your humble abode, but why not turn it into a study? Or a bathroom? As this compact study (below left) and this colourful bathroom (below right) show, good things really do come in small packages.

And who says a home office needs an entire room to itself? This under-the-stairs office (below right) takes an often idle space and turns it into a chic cubby-hole. Or why not find an ultra modern glass corner desk and create a barely-there work area in your living room?

Chimney breasts are a great way to create a little nook in your living room. Take inspiration from this modern white office space (above left) and use different flooring to section off areas of the room even more.

I really love this bold purple study that sits on a raised platform in the bedroom. It’s ideal for small flats or compact open-plan living spaces.
