We work in a big city where living quarters are small so we have to get creative with our own and our clients spaces. Happily, we accept the challenge!

Creating two or more distinct sections in one space isn't always as simple as a lack of space though. One of our recent clients had a multi-level home with plenty of storage space but there were four family members (plus staff) using the home. Because of this, the workout room needed to double as a playroom for the kids. Sorry Dad! :-)

So we drew very clear lines in the room, designating one area with two walls and floor space for the bins of children's toys and even a drum set. Across the room, where the punching bags hung, was the perfect place to store the weights, boxing gloves and resistance bands.

Now Dad, kids and Mom are happy and enjoying their own separate but unified spaces. You can do this too! Just because you don't have an extra room doesn't mean you can't have a crafting area or even a library.
