How many times have you passed that landing or glanced at that small corner and asked yourself, what\u2019s missing there? The character of every home is different, sometimes resulting in unique spaces that look too bare to leave alone, yet remain untouched. Here are nine Amish furniture suggestions that will help transform those misfit, hard-to-decorate spaces.<\/p>\n

A Long, Narrow Hallway<\/h3>\n

Maintain the look of your long hallway while creating a seamless transition between adjoining rooms with a sliding barn door.<\/p>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

Behind the Sofa<\/h3>\n

Dress up the small space right behind the sofa by creating a display area. Feature family photos, scented candles, or plants on a custom-made sofa table like the Odyssey Sofa Table<\/a>. A single drawer and open bottom shelf provide extra room for keys, books and more.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Beneath the Staircase<\/h3>\n

Turn the open space under your staircase into a reading nook. The stylish Amish Sleigh Bed Seat<\/a> opens for storage.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

In Front of Built-In Shelves<\/h3>\n

That space in front of your beautiful built-in shelves can often look like it\u2019s missing something. Add a cozy reading chair like the contemporary style Jasper Chair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Jasper<\/a><\/p>\n

In a Surprise Nook<\/h3>\n

Is there a sizable gap between walls that bothers you? Add a small desk like the Amish Mission Secretary Desk<\/a> for an instant office.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

At the Base of a Small Landing<\/h3>\n

Why waste that space next to the landing? \u00a0Insert an attractive side chair like the Amish Clearwater Upholstered Side Chair<\/a> – \u00a0to create a space that speaks directly to your personal style.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Beneath Your Picture Window<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t lose the opportunity to enjoy that great view. Position a low bench like the Amish Shaker Extension Bench<\/a> in front of a large picture window and enjoy the scenery.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s room for misfit spaces to shine. Embrace each one with Amish furniture solutions that\u00a0match your home’s style.<\/p>\n
