Have you been wanting to do something with that two to three feet wide bare wall that's connecting the kitchen and the living room? Aside from slamming your body into it in an accidental standing plank once in a while during morning rush hours in the kitchen, how else do you use it for?
You can actually do something with that little wall to give it purpose. Here are 6 smart ways to use those little walls in your home according to Apartment Therapy:
Add Hanging Storage
Create space to hang your herbs, towels, utensils, and other knick knacks by mounting horizontal racks on that small wall. Not only will you keep your things organized, you will also achieve that urban sense of style in your kitchen.
Create a Message Center
Have you ever left a note on the refrigerator yet it slid off and nobody got to read it? Why not turn your little wall into a message center by applying chalkboard paint? You now have this unique message board to write your grocery list, reminders, save-the-dates, or your sweet morning message to your husband and children.
Make a Seating Area
Turn that blank space into your "charging" or "rest" area by placing a small bench or a chair against the wall; you can just plop here when you get tired from cooking, or simply want to rest from standing. This can also be an extra spot to place your bag, put on your shoes, or take a phone call.
Make an Art Space for Kids
Are the kids turning all your walls into graffiti art? Kids love to doodle and draw. Turn your little wall into chalkboard wall that kids can reuse over and over when they feel like channeling their inner Picasso.
More Space to Hang Art
It is actually easier to decorate a little wall than a huge wall with art. Try putting together your favorite small pieces of art on the wall and choose similar frames to achieve that cohesive look.
Add Color to Your Home
Add an element of fun to your neutral-colored space by turning the little canvass into an accent wall. Choose a vibrant shade that pops out like neon coral; depending on the design of your space and your preference.
