A young colourful family in need of a clever storage solution that would not only be practical, but also become a feature of the home.
This project has been shortlisted as part of the 32nd Annual Dulux Colour Awards 2018.
It all started when…
Our solution was to utilise the unusable space under the stairs and create cabinetry that incorporated cupboards and drawers to make this area truly useable. We used slats of black butt timber, similar to the flooring, to wrap the storage unit from top to bottom and used the gaps in the timber to bring colour into the unit. This client loved Missoni, so we took inspiration from her incredible wardrobe and brought those colours into her living area.
As the staircase above the unit was no longer a floating staircase, we needed to address what could be done to improve the look of the stairs at the entry to the home. Our solution was to block off the underside of each step and place LED lighting at each step. The effect is wonderful and warm, and makes a real statement as you enter this family's home.
