Every Inch of Storage Counts
The undersides of beds are wasted spaces unless you put stuff underneath. Find a bed frame with drawers or space for storage boxes on wheels.
This story was in the first issue of Dwell that I ever picked up. The whole issue (Intriguing Interiors it was called) confirmed in me the mere inkling I had that big things were afoot in the design and architecture worlds. Since that random encounter with Dwell five years ago, in a bookshop I had stepped into to kill some time, my inkling has grown into knowledge and that in turn has grown into a sort of passion for all the things Dwell advocates. But it all started with that first look at how people accumulate the things in their lives and what meaning those things carry. Without fail, Dwell has always defined that vague line between stuffism and life's artifacts with a kind of grace that's rare and wholly welcomed.
the issues of dwell are enjoyable because they present designs and constructions diverse in form and freshly published from their recent completion .i am not waiting very long to see only a selective couple of houses that were completed 3 years ago. i like to see the dwellings in their environment; metroplolitan and rural.;studios, modular houses, family housing solutions, ecological practices, responses to site, new ideas on construction materials and the built tastes of each designer and client. in dwell i am not dissapointed by buildings with over decorated interiors or articles with verbous dualities. i am simply presented with quality designs that are thoughtfull and wholesome in their concepts and completion.great photography and specific themes on some issues add continuos interest. i was happy to see a vocal and varied issue on raw australian and new zealand designs for example. it shows the quality of design progress and reflects peoples hard work. please keep it going.
