Design ideas for walk in pantry / study
Comments (8)I have been planing my new butler's pantry for a while and here are some of my favourites. My space is 2.8m x 1.5m (L-shaped). I am having 450mm wide bench with open shelving top and bottom on the long side (maybe one row of open drawers like in first photo), 650mm wide bench at the end with sink and cupboard below. I also have a small alcove on the left which will be used as a broom closet (easy access for spills). In your case I would run the bench and overhead cupboards from the window, along the right hand wall and back around to the door. You could then have a study desk under the window with the natural light. You may also have room to put a fold down ironing board cupboard all alternatively put in a pull out ironing board in the bench that returns near the door. Good luck!...See MoreDesign ideas for an old window space in kitchen
Comments (7)Hi Belinda, it does look like you have a few issues to deal with - the shallow recess doesn't line up with anything it is cut into the splash back the narrow gap to the window it is out of alignment with the display shelves on the left So my first thoughts are - Tea/coffee cup display shelves with maybe a glass backing Wall mounted television screen Artistic decor piece made to fit Collection of antique copper kitchen items etc Chalk board Green wall with herbs Magnetic knife box display unit Board it up & patch the wall leaving a narrow gap above the splash back which could be creatively turned into a hanger with hooks or magnetic knife holder ??? Good luck ;)...See MoreLooking for a smart looking study without spending a fortune- ideas?
Comments (10)Thanks OKLOUISE, I think we will go down the suggested route. IKEA was not much cheaper for the desk once installed anyway. The IKEA handlefree wardrobes will come in much cheaper than the alternative but look pretty good for what we want and will leave a space of about 5 cm at either end of the room after allowing for the skirting boards, which is just enough to clean occasionally. I just need to check that IKEA's shade of white is not too dissimilar to the deck colour I want and then I should be good to go. I am hoping the floor is not too uneven as that could cause them to have gaps between? (Any ideas if that is a problem?) My only other worry is that IKEA white laminates used to turn yellow quickly, but I am hoping they have improved on that front in recent years. Thanks again, your advice is always good!...See MoreHelp to design/build a kids study room / retreat for 4 kids !!
Comments (3)Hi Cindy, I would suggest to really describe what your kids needs are - are they in primary school, high school or university? From there, you can work out their IT requirements and styling. Also, as bigreader has suggested, outline the area you are working with to help decide what you can fit in the space. In general, I would suggest to make it inviting space (maybe with bean bags). Something they can enjoy and feel like is there own space. Styling and colours should reflect what they like (again, all these things are age dependant). Below are a few of my own examples. The top one is a study nook adjacent to a retreat area (an open are with a TV) used by the entire family. The last photo is integrated into a teenagers bedroom. Good luck!...See Moresiriuskey
