I'm just nearing the end of a major house refurb and had quite a few trickeee little alcove'y numbers to contend with In one of the bedrooms I decided to split the room and make use of both of the little critters! To the left hand side of the chimneybreast, I removed an ugly cupboard which had a 'feature'!! air vent!! (courtesy of the previous owners putting a fist/foot through the door) and installed secret cupboards hidden behind faux panelling. It works very well if you need extra storage for bits and pieces that you don't need access to 24/7 and if, like me, you get broken into and some little oik steals all your tools, it is handy for concealing any valuables To the right hand side where the louvre doors are, I put up a stud partition wall and shoe horned in a shower room which is a little over a metre wide and 3m long and now have two rooms from one ... Reeeeeesult!

Since it's a rental I'm assuming you can't screw anything into the walls so how about this? https://www.decathlon.co.uk/70-cm-pull-up-bar-id_8353818.html?_cclid=v3_4730fcf6-3ec5-5b36-a94d-83bf054d24dc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzry3rr2W1gIVTrftCh291gD-EAQYFiABEgIbcfD_BwE Not use what it's meant for but as a hanging rail for clothes? Or a curtain rail to hide clutter? Or both!

I found the Dulux Visualator, or whatever it’s called, to be pretty useless. I used it once to visualise my old sitting room colour just to see how accurate it was. My walls were Dulux Elderflower so compared it on the Dulux online thingy and it was completely different!

Hi Kids Rule Interiors, thank you very much for your reply! Yes, I am planning to store all his clothes in this alcove (which are not that many when you try to be a minimalist :D)... In the teak chest of drawers, there are two drawers, where I would put his clothes for the current season. Above it, there would be a shelf with a hanging rail. I was thinking that the fact that the shelf is modular would help to place it higher as my child's clothes get bigger. But by the time his clothes get really big, I might come up a new wardrobe solution! I looked into Svalnas in the past but it's not the right dimensions for my alcove :( the closest I could find is a twin slot shelving system... The other thing I'm considering is an ikea billy bookcase turned into a wardrobe like the one below, but I hesitate because in this case, I cannot put anything on display! Thank you so much for insisting on the fact that the corners of the shelves have to be safe in some way.
