The owner of this stunning property wanted to sensitively refresh the old school room. The alcove units were sanded back, repaired and replacement doors made up to fit the wonky openings to match the existing ones.

We also came up with a plan to put an integrated filing cabinet in one of the openings, PLUS a sliding shelf for a printer.

On top of the alcove units they wanted a bespoke desk with storage. It was tricky to maximise storage without taking up any desk space or make it feel too enclosed when working at the desk.

The customer was very happy with the outcome, and so were we!

One thing you will notice is that the masking tape handles are still on as the customers were so excited to get in, that when we came to fit the handles the room was being moved into!
