THE SPACE WE WASTE HOW TO UTILISE IT One is continually hearing the plaint of want of space from people in homes where there are plenty of opportunities for utilising what they now allow to be wasted areas. For example, how many people make use of the space immediately below the sash-windows? Occasionally a window-seat is installed, though this, of course, is in itself a waste, since few folk care to be thus exiled from the centre of things! But if the window sill be extended and rows of shelves installed immediately below, it provides a table-top for flowers and ornaments, plus a serviceable bookcase. In the bedroom the same space might be utilised for a dressing-table and a shoe rack, in which case a frilly “petticoat” of silk or muslin will ' have to be added. Even the most modest of kitchenettes may become commodious through the expedient of using the otherwise waste space beneath the table. In the absence of a kitchen cupboard, this space can be occupied by a rack to take jars and bottles, tins and packets; alternatively, it can be given a couple of shelves to take pots and pans, the shelves being fixed to the legs. The same ruse applies to the nursery table, where the space beneath njay be used as a receptable for toys and books. In this position, it can be dealt with by small persons who are not tall enough to reach cupboards and shelves of standard height. No recess should be wasted. It should be fitted with cupboard doors and a top to fit them, with open shelves, or with coat-hangerg, topped by a cornice fitment to take a hanging curtain. This not alone gives increased accommodation, but also represents an economy in the purchase of furniture.
