Cosy corner

An alcove is an ideal space for creating a useful working area without it encroaching too much on the rest of the room. This scheme is given a comfortable feel with soft colours that are easy to live with. Shelves fitted high up on walls use every inch of space, while a fabric covered pinboard adds a practical touch.
