Something that has regained its past popularity is the portable closet. Although not actually portable, it simply refers to the fact that it is a separate unit rather than a built in room used as a closet. These come in every size and shape imaginable, and can be custom designed to match decors in kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms where they are commonly placed. Some of these custom built units are left behind when the house is sold.
Another area that usually needs attention is the carpeting. Filthy rugs can turn new buyers away, and can make an otherwise beautiful home look dull and dingy. Take advantage of all the sales going on now at local home improvement stores and replace old worn out carpeting with new Stainmaster carpeting. It repels dirt and moisture, vacuums easily, and lasts for years.
For the kitchen, check out a retro fridge. These don't necessarily mean finding something that came from a 1950s kitchen. These refer to refrigerators with freezers on the bottom, one of the original styles from back in the 30s when freezers became separate sections of the fridge.
Why not add a dining bench to your eating area? These seat more people than single chairs and can be used for all sorts of multitasking in between meals. They can usually fit under the table, saving plenty of room.
If you haven't tried a dining bench yet, you should. They not only take up less space, they can fit under most tables, they seat more people, and they can be used for other tasks from children's projects to very portable seating on demand. Some have matching and very comfortable seat cushions that coordinate with any color scheme.
If you like being different, you'll love a deer antler chandelier. Seriously! They don't have to be made from the real thing, and most aren't. They actually match almost any furniture and style from modern to country and anything in between. There are many sizes to choose from including large ones that look marvelous in a foyer.
