Every house has at least one weird dead zone - no furniture can fit, it's too small, or it's just a plain strange shape that makes decorating in it impossible.
However, there are solutions to make your way around those awkward spaces and these house design ideas can help you according to Apartment Therapy:
Tiny or none-existent entryway
One way to create a little more order in your life and set an area of your home apart as the entryway is by having a landing strip where you can put your car keys and mails - it could be anything from a small and unassuming shelf to a narrow furniture piece. You can also use paint or pattern (wallpaper) to set the space apart.
Space under the stairs
This little niche in your home could be an unused open or closed-up space. Some good house design ideas are turning it into a small home office, mud room, or even a half bath.
Weird hallway
Some hallways are too big, too narrow, angled, awkward, or even non-existent. However, there plenty of house design ideas to make that area work. For a huge hallway, it would work to line the space with furniture and keep the flow moving with a long, leading rug. If it's too narrow, you can still turn the ante up by painting the ceiling and use thin picture ledges as décor.
Above the cabinets
More often than not, the space above cabinets is just left to collect dust. Thankfully, you can use these house design ideas to put that space to use: put some basket up there to stuff your stash in, store cookbooks, add a little art, wine storage, or an extra shelf.
Awkward and underused stairway landings
You can actually make use of that stairway landing other than for turning the corner and heading up another flight of stairs. You can change that with these awesome house design ideas: a landing strip, bookcases, window seats, built-in drawers, clothes storage, coat hooks, organizational system, or put furniture.
