HOME DECORATING SOLUTIONS FOR RENTERS
MAKE IT
WORK
Choose items for this area very
thoughtfully, paying attention to
how each piece of furniture and
every accessory can serve multiple
purposes. For example, a console
table and chair doubles as a
laptop work station; a decorative
Murano glass bowl holds your
house keys and sunglasses; an
upholstered ottoman acts as
seating and shoe storage.

AT HOME

in Victoria, many front doors open
directly into an open plan living space,
and most do not have the luxury of a
foyer. No worry! Here are a few tricks
that can create the welcoming feel of
an intentional front entrance, without
cramping your style or square footage.
