Did you know that interior design is considered not only an art but also a science? You might not think about it, but interior design is something that can lead us to a healthier and happier life. So it’s only natural, that interior design is always awesome to read about, but what about those of us who already have homes or don’t have the money to spend on grandiose and fantastic remodeling projects? Here are a couple of brilliant home hacks that will hide some of the common everyday eyesores your home may have and make it look like something right out of a furniture catalog.

The cool thing about these life hacks is that many of them are all about both keeping things neat and maximizing limited space. As more and more people pile into cities, the efficient use of space becomes more and more important, which a lot of these mods do. This can involve either clever hiding and storage solutions or creatively re-purposed surfaces – like the blackboard refrigerator. Others are just for removing eyesores such as a perfect place to hide tv wires or, better, yet, converting them into something beautiful or amusing. Check our list of design home hacks below!

All hardware is included so all you need is a screwdriver. The Conceal Book Shelf, which has already won design awards, is innovative, inspirational and imaginative.” (Designer: Miron Lior) (buy)
