Something about them just didn’t “feel” right when I imagined them in
the space. I think it was their visual heaviness (as Charlotte’s angled
doorway means you would basically be looking straight into the side of
them) and the fact there was already quite a bit of wood in the room. I
mean, I don’t mind an eclectic mix of timbers, and I think they still
would have looked nice, I just knew they weren’t the
best choice.
So, I went back to the drawing board and eventually decided to step
outside my comfort zone and go with something a little bit fun in the
form of contemporary acrylic shelves on traditional polished brass
brackets!
