Floor beds for kids
Whether you've seen them on social media, or heard about them through a friend, floor beds for kids are taking off in a big way.
Space maker.
More and more people are searching for creative ways to maximise space in their homes. A murphy bed is a bed that is stored vertically against the wall, often tucked away in cabinets, closets or bookshelves.
Home library.
If you've got too many books, consider whether a bespoke home library could help solve your storage woes! See this project - wall to wall, ceiling to floor bookshelves.
Challenge the norm.
Cabinet maker Matt Taine likes to ‘challenge’ the norm with his quirky designs, and works with Cutshop to outsource the manual labour.
DIY legacy.
