Interior design games are as functional as they are fun, allowing you to design spaces with nearly limitless options. If you’re hoping to use your smart device to level up your interior decorating skills, an interior design game could be the way to go. Whether you’re looking for a photo-realistic game that can truly help you conceptualize that space you’ve been itching to redesign, or something more fun and lighthearted, there’s an interior design game for you.

Create more spaces with one of these genius room divider ideas.

It saves money, too.

When it comes to interior decorating, bathrooms sometimes get neglected. Let's change that.

Poufs, plants, and non matchy-matchy furniture are the keys to nailing this style.

The bed is the most important part of the dorm, after all.

There are definitely two types of people in the world; the type who can’t imagine a bed looking just right without a bed skirt, and the type who see no need for one. Are you #teambedskirt or no? If not, maybe you’d consider a bed skirt alternative. Think about it: there are plenty of ways to style your bed: there are comforters, duvets, throw pillows, and so much more. But that aesthetic can continue to the floor even if you don’t want to use a bed skirt.

Bunk beds are a great way to have two people share a bedroom, and they’re a great solution for small bedrooms as well. But as spectacular as bunk beds may be, they leave little room for organization. Unlike a regular bed setup, there are limited storage options for bunk beds, making it difficult to keep things like  books, glasses and water bottles next to the bed. Enter the bunk bed shelf.

Lofting your bed is one of our favorite design ideas for a small bedroom or even a studio apartment. Doing so reduces the amount of space your bed takes up, provides additional living or working space underneath the bed, and introduces lots of storage (in some cases). Lofting a bed could mean finally getting that chic home office setup you’ve been dreaming of or adding a sleeper sofa for weekend guests.

Aside from the fact that IKEA makes furnishing a living space quick and easy (well, kind of easy, at least), it has also blessed fans with products that can be personalized on a whim. Those MDF dressers and EKET cabinets may look basic, but with a few helpful hacks, you can turn your IKEA HEMNES (and pretty much every other item from the Swedish chain) into a DIYed masterpiece.

You only think you don't have room for a nightstand.

They're chic, stylish, and space-saving.

Because everyone deserves a soaking tub.

If you love decorating for the holidays but don't have a ton of room, these ideas for getting festive with a small footprint might just be the answer.

Nothing makes or breaks a room quite like lighting. It changes the mood, sets the ambiance, and can help define spaces like living and dining rooms or nooks and kitchens, particularly in open-concept layouts. Plus, why settle for bad lighting when the fun, functional options out there are endless? If you think about it, your bedroom can become a whole different space when you customize it with the perfect reading lamp for staying up to finish that novel.

When it comes to backyard sheds, you might have noticed that they’ve gotten a major upgrade over the years. For the most part, modern sheds have replaced the cobwebby shacks packed with rusty garden tools and dirt-caked floors. Today, a backyard shed is just as likely to double as a chic office space or tiny home for an in-law as it is a place to house your tractor. We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful modern sheds to help you start creating your own dream backyard.
