Consider Custom Options
If you're outfitting a space that's small or has awkward design features, custom-made furnishings may be the best option. Case in point: this elegant guest room. "The bed was designed for a room that had door locations that inhibited twin beds from being placed side by side as they typically are," explains designer Chandos Dodson Epley. "We went with the corner-style headboard to provide more floor space and a walkway in the bedroom. It also created a cozy nook for the clients' two young granddaughters."
