There are primarily two types of room additions possible. One is a vertical addition while the other is a horizontal addition. The latter is primarily done when seeking to increase comfort.

The best place to keep cables and wires is against the wall behind the electronic devices. It will also look more appealing and neat. Crafts can become quite a hassle if you have many boxes with the different items. Use a floating shelf above the desk to store your crafts so that they are out of the way but still easily accessible. Don’t allow yourself to use surfaces as storage
