Creating a livable space can be difficult, especially if you are short on space. Thankfully, the minimalist design is in right now so you can get away with being both trendy and practical. Just because the design is minimalist doesn’t mean it can’t be warm or friendly though. You’ll be pleasantly surprised that there are plenty of DIYs that actually warm up the space, usually less material. If you are looking to incorporate this kind of style, then try out some DIY hanging shelves. They’re unique looking and will save you a ton of money and space in the long run.
