In front of tall windows: What a nice problem to have! I would definitely add some green in the form of house plants. Also, select furniture that won't obstruct the natural light coming through, such as a bench with skinny legs, or make a reading nook full of abundant natural light by adding an upholstered chair with a narrow profile.

A small or non-existent landing: This is my problem. I have a rancher and my front door literally just opens up in the middle of my living room. A good tip that I'd never heard before is to hang a gallery wall to define a foyer. "Instead of placing your photos and art sporadically around the room, cluster them together. This move deliberately defines a wall as your entry, sectioning it off from the rest of an open layout" - Good Housekeeping. Genius! Also, piles near the door are a fact of life (especially when you live with a husband like mine.) A small console for mail and keys (a narrow shelf is also a great way to keep floorspace free!) is a must. A basket for shoes is also a good idea.

Under a staircase: Don't waste this precious, precious space. I tried to find some ideas that don't require you hire a carpenter and pay a small fortune for some custom cabinets, etc. The above is probably built in, but you can find a desk that fits nicely under the stairs, and then use the wall space to hang additional shelves - floating shelves are inexpensive, or utilize the wall as a gallery wall!

Behind the sofa: Maybe this one is a bit obvious - but it's a fun and easy place to freshen up. I think a sofa table is a great opportunity to show off a collection. Have some new family pics printed and arrange the frames on a narrow sofa table. Or, gather small souvenirs from your travels and display them as a conversation-starting collection!

Small kitchen wall or corner: Install shelves that will fit and use them as a place to display your prettiest dishes or cool kitchen gadgets.via BHG
