A multi-functional dining space (with hidden storage for a home office)

1/29/2019

0 Comments

 
If your family loves to do paperwork (or homework) in the dining room, this is a great solution for keeping everything tidy.
Picture
At first glance it's a cozy built-in banquette... which is already really cool... but wait, there's more!

​
It opens up to reveal a hidden "secretary" desk where you can stash your papers and books.
Picture
We started by building the case in our studio. As you can see, the benches are also hollow, with flip-top lids to hide large objects. You could even hide a computer router in here, and stash the laptop behind the seat, to make a home office that's invisible when it's not in use.

The dining room we installed it in was fairly small...

...so the built-in banquette seating made efficient use of the space.

You may notice that there were a few changes to the design. For example, we added two doors to the back instead of one, and painted the bottom kick to match the baseboard. That's what sets custom furniture apart: the ability to customize it to your preferences.

With cushions and pillows, the built-in windowseat became a comfortable place to relax with a book and a mug of tea.

If you've got stuff all over the dining room table, this banquette could help you reclaim your eating area but still have a place to stash things out of site. Give us a call to get one for your home, so you can be beautifully organized.
