One of my favorite projects is when I get to blend organizing and decorating, the best of both worlds. This client had a beautiful built-in in their study that also served as a game room, art space, and LEGO building zone for their kids. Built-ins can feel overwhelming with so much open space, so we intentionally broke the area into clearly defined zones to make it both functional and visually balanced. To create a true multifunctional space, each section was given a specific purpose. One enclosed cabinet was dedicated to LEGOs in progress, using clear bins so pieces are easy to find (and clean up). Another cabinet was assigned to cookbooks, travel books, and school artwork. To protect the kids’ artwork, we used individual art portfolios in different colors, one for each child. With very active kids, medals and ribbons were another consideration. Instead of displaying everything, we showcased only the most recent achievements and neatly stored the rest in labeled bins. Two additional built-ins were used for the family’s board games. As part of the organizing process, we sorted through each game, letting go of ones that were outgrown or had missing pieces. Small cards, accessories, and miscellaneous items were stored in white bin to keep them contained. To finish the space, we coordinated all the picture frames using only silver and black to match the cabinet hardware, added a few black décor accents and faux plants to warm things up, and completed the look with a cozy lumbar pillow to make the reading chair extra inviting. 📖 Shop below ⬇️ LTKbeforeandafter LTKorganizing LTKhomeorganizing LTKstudy LTKoffice LTKHome
