slanted side of shelf

8 years ago

Hi, this closet looks awesome...i was wondering how/if you attached the top of the vertical pieces (the ones following the ceiling slope)? I'm doing an under stair built in shelf with a similar slope... thanks!

We did not attach the vertical pieces to the wall. The horizontal shelves were attached to the wall which holds the verticals tight to the wall.

Hello James, Just a thought here and a very quick one!... If you have a galley arrangement you don't cut the room in half. You could then have a different kind of island/eating area. I love the island that morphs into dining if there is not a degree of separation to have two separate entities.. . The room spatially will feel more open, but of course it must be something you're happy with. For the seating area consider a chaise longue as if two don't sit, one can recline and gaze into the garden! If you were to make the side return ie follow along from the external wall (Living room) you could move the kitchen back in line with this. It's not a massive extension possibly 70 or 80 wide ie the doorway width approx.. It allows the access way to be left alone and thus you can still walk down past your kitchen.. There's no courtyard but you have a better flow through from front to back.. It's simpler perhaps but sometimes this is the best solution to a problem.. The living room could possibly have the angled wall removed to open up the living and kitchen area.. RSJ or some structural addition if the wall is load bearing and you'd need consent most probably.. Structural engineers, but the architect can advise you.. if you liked the idea.. It means you lose the door to the alleyway from the living room but I don't feel this is a gr8 loss.... You could move (or rather extend backwards to the new rear wall) the loo to my suggested new "rear" wall position boxed in from either side of course and with pocket doors and a small (read tiny) cloakroom in front accessed from hall side... so the door isn't opening directly into hall/kitchen/living but has two doors. So the end of the living room is squared off and forms one side of the new loo position. It's a minimal move. You increase the flow through from the living room by opening this out more and even a smaller amount would benefit. and then you can start the run (Kitchen) from back of downstairs loo with larder cupboard for example so there is again a degree of separation from downstairs loo and what is going to be kitchen units.. I also like to plan large monoliths like double height fridge freezers or larders in corners, which doesn't impede the view! Sliding or concertina doors at the back or my specific favourite .... Bring the outdoors in and visa vera! It's rather a more simplified design but I think it creates flow which I like the idea of in a home such as yours. You could put in wooden french doors if you wanted to separate front living from rear living but still keep them with the aesthetic feel of one room.. Don't lose the fireplaces if they're lovely they might be worth keeping! The other alternative is to square off the loo, do the small side extension as mentioned above and then you have two walk ways into kitchen from hall side and from kitchen side.. Then you'd have the FF or larder in the middle on the Loo wall .. This arrangement isn't open like my first idea.. but it would save you moving the loo in question.. : )) These are on a huge scale I know but they're to give you some inspiration about how to handle the door from kitchen to garden! Think garage style pulley system.. This kind of solution makes for a spectacular entrance to your garden and beyond!

I think we need photos of the wall in question, but I’m thinking that bespoke is your best bet.

I'd opt for a trakt system with sliding mirror doors at the end where the bed currently is, running about 550-600mm deep (measure some coat hangers and allow for clothing on them), where the slope starts or a bit higher have a fixed shelf and under that is your hanging space, you could have a drawer unit and a shelf unit behind the sliding doors as well, then at the window end you can have a desk/dressing table. Panelled sliding doors aren't that expensive and having mirrors makes the room feel bigger. Not hard for a half decent carpenter/decent diy expert to do.

With or without the extra shelf

Hi, I like option 1 or modified option 2 if you feel like you want more display, or have shelf space behind the sofa,I wouldn't go with a floating shelf But have a build it down. so the area above would be like a niche and below behind the sofa part of the wall. Think that would be a cleaner design. But don't try to overfill everything, every room needs to have some breathing space ( negative space) so even if you decide to go with the extra shelf behind the sofa I wouldn't overload it, but would keep it minimal and considered.
