What is the depth of the bookcase? Are the shelves set or adjustable?

How do the bookcases open? I do not see any handle or knob?

Hi @1kayg, The depth of these bookcases are 16" and they are adjustable. There are hidden cabinet hardware pieces and the glass doors are on magnetic push latches. Hope that helps!

I think you are missing an opportunity here; this is the perfect excuse to buy lots and lots of books. I have have run out of shelf space and have to choose what to pass on before I can buy any more...tough choices. :-)

I can see that a tv flat against the current blue wall may prove awkward to view from the room - but extending the idea of carolins illustration, placing the tv diagonally across the corner would give you more scope. Though you might feel this generates 'dead space' in the corner I think that the sacrifice would be minor in comparison to the improved viewing angle from the room. I would put a back on the corner bridge, painted blue. I also think that blue behind all the shelving would look fine - but why not make it up and stand it in place, then decide on whether you want to paint the other wall?

Thanks for those ideas... Daisy do you mean to have the microwave over the fridge? if so i'd love to do that, but unfortunately my husband's shorter than me and my MIL who sometimes minds our kids is 5ft nothing so I would be the only one who could reach it. I'm not sure if the drawing shows but the row of all pantry cupboards is actually across the back of an adjoining room (dining room) so its a bit of a walk away. of course quarantining the microwave in there would be doable but I'd prefer to keep it closer if possible. Strawberry 47, great idea also to put the microwave under the bench except we already have only got room for the bare minimum - 2 corner cupboards, 1 set of drawers, a sink cupboard, and one filler base cabinet of 20cm to put trays & cutting boards. That's it on the bottom. The pantry that will sit on the benchtop is only 30cm deep external... meaning the microwave wouldn't fit inside without modifications (such as stealing 450x30cm from it... but would rather not as that would make storage space there very minimal. lkirk44 thanks for the thought re everything lining up on top, I agree... going to have to work out how to do that somehow! I was actually thinking that maybe we could add another wall - even just a full height shelf sitting on the benchtop to the right of the sink - parallel with the partial wall where the row of tall cabinets start. It would shut off the view a bit but not that much.... It would mean the microwave could sit across that corner without the ugly back & cord of the microwave being on display. If only you could create a virtual full size model and walk through it to see how it would feel!!! :)

What colour to paint shelves/trim against wallpaper
Q

Thank you for all the comments! We decided against green partly as I think it would be too much of a contrast - I don’t want the room to be even more fussy - and partly because we have dark blue sofas, and I’m not a fan of blue and green. The pink is a good rich tone and matches the pink in the wallpaper well. I’ve tried to pick out three key colours for the room - pink, blue and white (or orange), plus some highlight colours - yellow, teal and orange (or white). The thinking behind this is that at the top and bottom of the walls the main colours in the wallpaper are pink, orange and white (which also makes me unsure that green would work at skirting level, while the pink might be less drastic). We already have some pink in the room (lamps, cushions) and it works. So there is a kind of method to my madness! I love the idea of floor-length curtains and was originally planning on that but they can’t be hung around the window seat. Thank you for all the help and advice - I wish I’d come on here years ago as this room has been a real headache! We love the wallpaper though and are determined to make it work. The blinds have already been ordered in the fabric shown!!!!!! - I’ll report back with a photo. If it’s a disaster I guess I can make a lot of cushions... x
