Interior design made easy – storage spaces
It is easiest for us to plan the storage places when planning a new home, and then the locations of the various cabinets, libraries, niches, pantry and service room are determined in advance. But what happens in existing homes?
What we need to do is look for those walls that will easily become a built niche, and will not harm the quality of the space and room. In this way, we will design a cabinet built into a niche or library or shelves.
