Every Victorian house will have a chimney breast almost in every single room of the house. Heritage lovers always tend to keep them as a feature of the room. An alcove space on each side of the chimney works as a good storage space, whether it is a wardrobe, shelves or just a decorative console. However, I keep seeing so much of the repetitive design for "alcove" storage, that it feels like it might be the time to start a design revolution. Do you have any interesting ideas about it?

Every girl is dreaming about a walk-in wardrobe in her apartment, but sometimes house size restrictions can ruin all the dreams. It is ideal if you have a spare room, which could be used as a dressing room, but if not you will need to play around with space you have. Walk-in wardrobe should not be less than 180cm wide, allowing space for shelves and hangers on each side. Here are some ideas of different walk-in wardrobes designs.

When you look at Grand’s series of furniture, you notice how it reminds you of a classy, delicate lady’s handbag. Simple and elegant, stimulating audience to touch it.
From their Website:
GRAND is a newborn collaboration between the designer Mathieu Gustafsson and cabinet maker Niklas Karlsson, who chose a name that reflects their vision for design and the quality of their work. As they say themselves, ''when creating our own brand we didn’t want to compete in low pricing, we rather wanted to contribute in artistic expression and quality''. LOCK and LIGHT are the first two pieces designed and executed by the Stockholm
In the LOCK cabinet, the ball clasp looking mechanism stands out and becomes the centre of the attention. The ingenious way this cabinet actually locks is reminiscent of the details found in old fashioned women’s handbags where the brass finishing along the edge of the doors ends in a small brass ball giving the generally minimalistic piece originality and a strong identity.
This subtle way of playful experimentation with materials and tactility is also obvious in the imposing LIGHT wardrobe which winks at the legendary Palmgrens' bags. Renowned in the 1960s for their legendary handbag in which leather and rattan were successfully combined, this Swedish company rightfully became world famous. GRAND were able to translate that combination in an even more ground breaking way, covering the sides of the wardrobe with rattan. The blending of thin white lacquered birch with an admittedly misused material such as rattan, gives an elegant result, where added nobility comes into play through the application of the brass details.
