Floating shelves in niches on lengthy living home wall
In this Intended in a Click Q&A, the home owner preferred her fire normally designed so her contractor could take over with the particulars.
This was a very long, huge wall, and while the ceiling vaults up in this room, alongside this wall it is 8’-0” large at the back of the niches and 9’-0” higher at the fire segment that juts out.
She would like storage for toys and games and desires to put photo frames, textbooks and accessories on the shelves, but this is a new addition so she hasn’t experienced this storage prior to.
I gave her two choices, 1 that is much more typical and maximizes storage and the other, that provided open shelving that I appreciate a large amount more. The far more typical one particular was Choice 2.
In Solution 1, I framed all around the niched locations on every huge with 6” of sheetrock, top and sides, to enable get rid of the horizontal search. I preferred a minimal separation visually, to set off the inset areas and the fire since we certainly experienced the duration with that wall. The very low ceiling kind of accentuates the horizontal vibe much too.
I went only 32” high with the cabinetry, as 36” just looked much too bottom significant. I like the 2” floating shelves listed here, 9” absent from each aspect. I feel it appears to be like deliberately created and extra present day wanting.
