Who: Tiffany Prudhomme of Prudhomme Design & Interiors
Where: Hendersonville, North Carolina
In her own words: “When you’re in a space where the details are done well, it has a calming effect. We want clients to feel familiar with the result so it feels like a home.”
No matter the square footage of a home, storage space is a common concern for many homeowners. Along with her husband, Rick, Tiffany Prudhomme of Prudhomme Design & Interiors in Hendersonville works with clients to adopt a “tiny home” mentality to come up with unconventional solutions for finding a place for everything. “Storage space is a huge issue,” she says. “You want to utilize as much of that square footage as possible without increasing costs.”

Shift your focus. Solving space challenges means giving aesthetics and functionality equal priority. “With any budget, it’s a matter of creating smart spaces and the most usable space possible,” Prudhomme says. “Every area should have function behind it, be flexible and feel like a good space even at maximum capacity.”
Waste not, want not. Prudhomme advises being conscientious about your footprint and environmental impact in any home project. “Figure out what you need functionally, without excess, to reduce materials and waste,” she says. “Try to condense things as reasonably as possible while still meeting your needs.”
Read Prudhomme’s tips below for maximizing and streamlining your home’s square footage.

1. Think Vertically
When space is limited, Prudhomme says to get creative. For clients in Lake Keowee, South Carolina, this meant using every inch of wall space to create a flexible sleeping area for their kids and their friends. Prudhomme and her team designed and installed four bunk beds, seen here, integrating the ladder to avoid taking up additional space and to keep the bed frames as open as possible.

2. Think Differently
Being innovative with your storage space often means looking at the function of elements in a different way. For example, a visually impaired client in the Pinnacle Mountain area wanted to minimize furniture in his bedroom, seen here, so Prudhomme took advantage of the millwork on either side of a fireplace.
Although the space below the shelving typically would be used for storage cabinets, she installed cherry wood drawers. This eliminated the need for a dresser and made moving around the room much easier for the homeowner. As an added accessibility feature throughout the home, Prudhomme used different textured flooring in each room, allowing the homeowner to be better oriented in the space by feel rather than just by sight.

3. Think Double Duty
While details are often applied as finishing touches or for aesthetic interest, Prudhomme suggests looking at them as an opportunity for storage solutions. “When you’re working with a small space, think about using the details in the design to create interest as well as to maximize and improve functionality,” she says.
For instance, clients in Hendersonville had an older home that lacked a child’s bedroom and play space. The team renovated a finished attic to create a bright and colorful Craftsman-style bedroom, seen here. It included bunk beds in the dormer, with storage between and underneath the beds.
