What would you do with this built in area?

5 år sedan

We are finishing the room that will be a nursery and then will eventually transition into the master walk
In closet if we are still in this house when we are done with having kids. The room came with this built in area already prepped and we thought it could be useful in some way. But now I’m not sure.

My original thought was just to have some long shelves across the whole space. But the space itself is actually really deep (2 feet) and long (60 inches across) so I’m not sure if shelves that huge are the best use of the space?

Any ideas?

Build in drawers into the space. Useful now as a nursery and later when it’s a closet.

While it’s a child’s room, it could be a cute reading nook or secret lair if you decide to avoid shelves. In the master closet, it could be a hidden storage space, like for a safe or behind a locked door.

@rainyseason, I do love a good reading nook, but the room will only be a nursery in the truest sense of the word. It's actually a room inside of our master bedroom, so we would transition a child out of the nursery to their own actual bedroom when they were done nursing and able to transition to a toddler bed. So I'm not sure if it makes sense or not to make it a reading nook or that type of thing for such a short window of time?

Hej! I am Australian and live in Australia but have lived 7 years in Sweden. My written Swedish is rusty so I am going to write here in English in case you are interested in some more thoughts, although you have probably already written your article. I know more what lagom means than the average English speaker, but I certainly can't truly 'feel' it like a Swede who has grown up with it. For me it feels like how much Kalles I might put on my knackbrod, but I have lately started to try to think of it in terms of interiors and see if it works. The reason I am doing that is that I am currently working in the field of Professional Organising- helping people de-clutter, scale back, and organise. This process results in quite a makeover for a home and even life style and can be life changing. I personally LOVE minimalism and talk about it often but I find that the average person I meet is a bit cynical of minimalism and thinks it is too extreme. I have been reading a ton about minimalism and read some about hygge. I think what the average person is longing for is some minimalism+ some hygge. I think the current world (politics and fast pace of life , overdose of stuff, and overdose of info in our face all day on our screens, etc etc) feels a bit stressful for everyone these days. So, although the average person longs for simplicity, the word minimalism scares some people, and hygge is too cozy for some and so the concept and word LAGOM may be just the answer! The 'world' may start to borrow the word lagom from you Swedes now to fill a need for a word lacking in English that can fall between minimalism and cosy, that can feel relaxing, and which doesn't mean you have to get rid of as much as minimalism does. It may well gain a meaning outside of Sweden that is a different to inside Sweden I suppose. For example if the word became popular it could become a term for a 'style'. That would be pretty different to the meaning inside Sweden. I am actually planning to introduce the concept and word 'lagom' to my clients as way to encourage them to get rid of excess and have a calmer home, yet not be afraid as the goal does not have to be minimalism, it can be 'lagom' - just right, perfect, not too little, not too much. It sounds like a level or quantity they can choose themself as we go along. A bit like Marie Kondo's method; 'Choose to keep only what gives YOU joy and you will end up with just the right amount of stuff. It will be a result that fits YOU, not something you have to try to work to achieve, which I think Minimalism may feel to the average person. Shevaun Sandlund in West Australia.

Det är ju inte vi som fotar slutresultatet, det här är mer för att visa hur mkt både styling och en bra fotograf kan förvandla ett hem, med rätt verktyg så att säga. Men oavsett fotograf eller ljus så är det iaf skillnad, när det gäller att styla till en bredare målgrupp, optimera ytor osv, det tror jag du oxå ser.

Mey, it was not my intention to hurt your feelings nor to sugarcoat the fact that you need more color. You know this better than anyone. Why else should you show the ( very ) different color curtains? I don't know what your going to du but, I am absolutely convinced you'll do what you need to do, you'll do it when you're good and ready. Last but not least, it'll be fantastic! Once again, Mey, good luck to you and please please could you not write again, to keep us posted?!

My name is Andre Schievink and I run the design studio Amsterdam Living here in Stockholm. I have been working from my office for the last 12 years. With lots of fun and entousiasm. Now its time to move to a bigger location and share and combine our workspace with other creative designers/stylists/ artists/fashionistas and co interior designers. I am looking for a butik/ lokal on the groundfloor , in downtown Stockholm, with lots of windows and possibility for clients to walk in and see what we are doing or showing.

If it is 24 deep and 60 wide, you can buy standard base cabinets for the space. The first space pictured is 60 wide and 16 deep and will be used for large books. The second and third pictures show an oak entertainment center cutdown to fit. The righthand side cabinet rolls out for access to the long, low storage space behind

Looks like it was meant to be built in drawers. I would make them large for toy storage and it can always be converted to something else later

Is it located above a laundry where you could make it into a handy tilt-out laundry chute? Or just make it shelf space for master bedroom blankets and linens, pull outs for shoe storage or hats/caps. Have it hold a safe for valuables.
