Creating a display area
9 years ago
The recesses in this wall are deep - 64cm but I want to use them for displaying a few nice things as well as housing the television and a VCR player. Any suggestions gratefully received as I've been advised that shelves might look odd. The bottom recess will need to be used for logs.

Comments (13)Hi Pavinia, I feel your pain! We had a similar problem at home, until my wonderful husband had the idea of nailing together some old market crates (the type used for fruit & veg) - a bit like what Courtenay Moon suggested! We sanded them down to get rid of any splinters and then painted them. They look similar to the picture I've attached. I wish I could remember where we got the crates from, but I'm sure there must be lots knocking round at farmers' markets around your home town! I realise this doesn't solve the television problem, but maybe you could think about using old pallets - you can often get those at builders' yards. Good luck with your project! I'm sure it will look super...See MoreDisplay Unit... help
Comments (5)The walls are white. If I was going to mix and match then yes I would use different height of vases. The vases in the image are actually all of different heights and widths but they just look like they are all the same height. Also which do you think is nicer, the metal and glass unit or this leaning ladder?...See MoreCan I add an overhang to my island to create a sitting area?
Comments (12)Hi, Gillian, If you have the 300-400mm recommended above there is no reason not to have the seating area but yes, you would pretty much lose access to the drawer. You could replace the existing drawer/cupboard combination with just cupboards, if that is a possibility for you, that way you would get all the storage and could use it for items you don't need to get at very often. It's all a balance; how much you would gain by having the seating, vs losing the drawer (or having to re-do the drawer/cupboard combination)....See MoreCreating a kitchen diner and living area

I'd do the same. You can put objects behind too like the wooden plate in comegetme's picture. I quite like the idea of rustic/natural material etc to go with the logs something similar to the bottom pic. Just in case you like them, these narwhal sculptures could work in the tall left one

I think the depth will be fine. You could always paint the back a dark or warm colour colour which should bring the back wall forward visually. I'd just try it with any old accessories now and see what you think
