This dining room wall-unit was a fun project. The before and after photos are a great illustration of how to successfully resolve a couple of common design issues that we encounter on a regular basis. As you can see in the before photo (below), an existing structural bump-out in the right hand corner makes it difficult to place a piece of furniture against the back wall and contributes to the space feeling smaller than it really is. The existing sideboard cabinet, pushed all the way to the left side, ends up calling more attention to the problem than it does to fix it. Our solution was to replace the free standing cabinet with a wall to wall built-in that defines a consistent plane across the room. In addition to providing a centered focal point, it also offers increased storage and a more open, larger sense of space.
