This 1,200-square-foot home feels spacious because of the clever reassignment of storage. Architect Aleks Istanbullu created a 30-inch-wide "storage spine" that runs nearly the length of the house and acts as a divider between public and private spaces. All storage closets, cabinets, and drawers are located here. Freeing perimeter walls of cabinets gives the homeowner more room for furniture and art.

Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
