Project Details:

This fitted alcove bookshelf took 1 day of carpentry and it was built on-site. Homeowners choose to paint themselves to save on costs.

Materials Used:

MDF, Medium Density Fibre and hand-painted

What was the room like before?

“The space in the room before felt like it wasn’t being utilised as best as it could be. It was a bit of a wasted area and we knew that we wanted to make it the best corner possible. Seemed only sensible to utilise the full space, from ceiling to floor, and it worked a charm”.

What was the room like after?

“Now the space in the full feels like it’s filling a purpose. We like that it looks like the bookshelf has always been there and blends into the room perfectly. It’s created a really homely nook, full of lots of our favourite things and it’s a great little spot to retreat to”.
