This young man really needed a place to hang out with his friends and a desk area to do his homework. He wanted it to still be filled with all his cherished memories but also be a space that he could see himself grow into during high school years. We accomplished this with lots of horizontal surfaces and use of vertical wall space for displaying trophies, pictures and lots of memorabilia. He gained important storage with the use of stacked cubes to help hide school papers and extra clothing. Additional storage was gained in a new closet set up as well as with use of under the bed drawer storage for easy access to all his sports uniforms.
BUILT IN DESK
Even small spaces deserve high function. Softening edges allowed addition of a desk with full door swing into the room. A memory board ensures he can change out pictures to represent his life as he grows.
HORIZONTAL STORAGE
Baseball cap, trophy and game ball storage galore. Ensuring he can access what matters and rotate display items over time.
CLOSET ORGANIZATION
Using all the vertical height of his closet made more sense than a single hanging rod. Now he has added drawers and lots of hanging space with shelves for more hats. Getting rid of his old dresser made room for a larger bed.
LARGER BED
Anchored with a new batten wall painted in his favorite green color gave this room the focal point it needed. Masculine but soft materials and patterns rounded out the experience. Under bed storage a must here.
FUN LIGHTING
Now he has a way to change out room colors for game day or even just reading a book. This room has become friend central for this young man and there's finally space for everyone to relax and hang out.
