Out on Long Island, we were asked to do a home consultation to convert an underutilized room into a combination guest bedroom and playroom by partitioning the space with custom cabinetry. The goal was to create a functional division that maintained openness while maximizing storage and play opportunities.
Beyond its playful elements, the cabinetry provides ample storage with a mix of open shelving and enclosed cabinets for books, toys, and essentials. The door to the guest bedroom is disguised as a shallow bookcase cabinet, designed with plexiglass fronts to keep books neatly displayed. Inside the guest room, a built-in cabinet with three drawers and two doors offers additional storage for guests.
The finish throughout the project is birch with white accents, giving the space a clean, modern aesthetic while highlighting the natural warmth of the wood. This thoughtful design seamlessly balances privacy, functionality, and playful interaction, making it a perfect solution for a growing family.
