"YOUR HABIT AND YOUR SPACE" SERIES 2: STORAGE CONTROL


Hi Peeps,


It's Mothers Day Celebrations this weekend, a heartfelt shout-out to every mom and would-be mom out there. Thanks for showing care always 💅 😘 


Celebrating moms brings memories of how my mom used to turn her wardrobe up-side-down almost every weekend, in search of her "missing" Sunday outfit. Anyways her appearance in those outfits made us proud of her, thumbs up mom 🏃😂


Always remember that "habits inhabits in spaces", hence influencing how you live in them. My mission therefore is to guide you on how you can take control of your space for good habits.


I will start out by addressing this matter from the angle of storage, sharing effective storage ideas that will help you eradicate unpleasant habits and replace them with pleasant ones.


Here are some of the thoughts I came up with 👇



#1: 

BUY 

INTO 

DRAWERS

The effect of drawers on maximizing storage is phenomenal, yet I meet folks who would let go of drawers simply for aesthetics.


One advantage you get with drawers is the ability to store in compartments, this helps you reduce the chance of misplacing items every time and solves the problem of disorderliness in your space.


Here are a few suggestions for maximizing drawers 👇


- use higher bottom-to-top depths for items you have many of 


- use empty small boxes or dedicated drawer organizers to create smaller compartments for jewelry, belts, and accessories


- avoid having drawers longer than 3ft or 90cm to avoid them falling off their runners


And I should add, beyond kitchen cabinets. adopt drawers as storage solution in unusual places.



#2: 

UTILIZE 

BASES


Another smart way to maximise storage is to utilise the base of existing furniture pieces.


For instance you will be amazed at the kind of control you have over storage by making the most of the voids you have under your beds and cabinets.


Depending on the height of suspension you can 👇


- create drawers underneath bed frames


- add partioned dividers below suspended cabinets 


- or even incorporate a pull-out shoe rack beneath the base of your closet


These are a few out of many ways you can make the best of bases.


#3: 

RETHINK 

OVERHEADS


I know it's common to have luggage tucked above cabinets, the only challenge with this approach is that you are probably storing up items you will end up disposing.


Like the popular saying; "out of sight is out of mind", what you don't get to see most likely ends up in the thrash can. 


There is a much more effective way to overhead storage and that's by taking advantage of empty walls, fitting on them open shelves at eye level points where you see the items frequently and increase their chances of usage.


This is a storage idea you will return to thank me for, the same way you will every time you engage me and my team on your projects.


The journey to that experience begins here 👇

THE  "SECOND  CHANCE"  SERIES 2: BEAUTIFUL EXCHANGE!!! Hello and Happy Easter Peeps, It's that time of the year when we remember and celebrate Divinity taking a second chance on humanity. Coincidentally, the essence of Easter celebration is in complete sync with The "Second Chance" series, where I seek to help my audience take a second chance on some crucial elements within their spaces. My last post aimed at helping you resolve dysfunctional layout, and I'm quite confident you have gained some insights on different shapes of spaces and how to best utilize them. Now let's have a look at what I love to call the "beautiful exchange", a concept of how you can reuse worn out or 'out of fashion' items in your space, making them more appealing, and having a positive impact on your space. I should mention as I proceed that there are several ideas to achieving beautiful exchanges, however I would categorize them into 3 aspects namely 👇 #1: FAC...

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean 👇   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago 💭🤔 Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) 🙈 Location: College of Technology, Yaba...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 4: THE SEASONS I LOOK  FORWARD TO!!! Hi folks, It's good to be here again, and I guess you are having an awesome time this summer. As a way to bond with you, my exceptional audience, I launched The "About This Time" series, reflecting on cycles of seasons of my life that spans from year 2004 to 2024. I hope it's been worth following. Below are nuggets of insights gained from my previous posts on this series: ✅ Boredom can become the tool with which we TRANSITION into a better version of ourselves, provided we are with the right people in the right environment. ✅ As we go higher in life, chances are high we put on a magnifying lens on our achievements and accolades. There is a call to action for us to look back and appreciate the days of LITTLE BEGINNINGS. Now as I delve into the seasons I look forward to, let's have a look at recent events that serves as indicators to my expectations for the future 👇 #2024: SEASONS ARE IN ...
