Not every home is a blank canvas — some are more like abstract art.
Between oddly shaped rooms, too-short walls, sloped ceilings, and those mystery “what-do-I-even-put-here?” corners, it’s easy to feel stumped. But awkward spaces are secretly design goldmines. We'll teach you how to decode layout problems, plan with intention, and turn those quirky spots into design moments.

Ask yourself: What’s off here? Is it the flow? The lighting? The furniture scale? Then you can decide if you're going to hide the flaw or highlight it.
For example, that dead-end hallway? Add a narrow console, wall art, and a pendant light to make it feel purposeful.

It’s not custom — it just looks that way.
Example: Under-the-stairs spaces are prime real estate — turn them into a mini library, kid zone, or mudroom drop spot.
If you can’t beat the weird, design around it.
Example: An off-center fireplace? Balance the asymmetry with a large-scale artwork or tall plant on the lighter side.
When in doubt, go up — and brighten up.
Example: A room with one tiny window can be transformed with soft uplighting, pale walls, and a wall-length mirror.
