THERE’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE SOMEONE – AND ESPECIALLY AN INTERIOR DESIGNER – looking at your home with fresh eyes. If you’ve simply not enough storage space, want to fit in a utility or find room to put up that occasional overnight guest, I suspect you feel you’ve pursued every option. What you need is someone who is accustomed to finding space where everyone else thought it didn’t exist and then knowing how to fit it out.

This bench seat swallows up boots and umbrellas in the hallway but it could just as easily have been created in a kitchen or alongside a dining table. Joinery by Silva Furniture Limited.
Enter your interior designer and their trusty joiner. Always up for a challenge and, quite often, having seen most things before, it’s amazing just how much this team can fit into the most awkward of corners with maximum results.
How about hiding storage space behind the TV screen? Joinery, Silva Furniture Limited.
The coffee station or bar in a cupboard was a beginning, but now we find larders built across the corner of a kitchen or utility, utilities stacked in hallways or beneath stairs, boot and coat storage lining entrances, and bench seating swallowing up all sorts of awkwardly-shaped items, previously impossible to stash into cupboard. Then there are drawers beneath beds, TV’s hidden in footboards – the list can go on and on.

The message is clear. If you’re looking to find extra space or feel sure you have the potential to fit a utility in where one was never before, bring a designer on board. Not only will they save you money as you won’t be chasing wild geese, but they’ll also know the best, most reliable joiners to work with to deliver.
