Every home has one. The corner nobody quite knows what to do with. 👀
Here's where last week's job started: a bare alcove beside the chimney breast, squeezed between the window and the TV. Plain wall, skirting board, and not much else.
The resident cat had already claimed the window sill and the hammock above it, so this was the last bit of the room left unclaimed. Chris had other ideas for it.
So, what do you think it became?
A) A built-in desk and home office nook
B) Fitted cupboards with display shelving
C) A cat climbing wall (the cat's vote 🐾)
D) A floor-to-ceiling bookcase
Drop your guess in the comments. The full before, during and after goes up next week, so we'll see who got it right.
Got an alcove that's just collecting dust? Alcoves are one of Chris's favourite spaces to work with, because a bespoke fit makes use of every inch a shop-bought unit can't. Send us a message and tell us about yours.
