This week, in Chatelaine’s video series The Home Primp, they set out to transform a Toronto bedroom with a wasted-space problem.

The challenge: During a major renovation, the bedroom closet was removed, leaving an awkward, slanted alcove that made the rest of the bedroom feel empty and lackluster.

Alcove

How they primped it: They outfitted the space with a gallery wall (watch the video to see you how you can create one yourself), lots of cozy knits and a seating area to enjoy a good book and a cup of coffee.
