Happy Valley Residence in Lafayette, CA

In this space, we created a larger opening from the entryway into the living room, and added custom pocket doors to add visual interest and privacy. The client needed a storage solution to help with the lack of closet space. Since this space is visible from the living room, rather than place hooks which the client feared would look messy with backpacks and coats we opted for a series of three custom wall shelves to store baskets for shoes and essentials that still allowed a spot for mail and keys on the top shelf and a small ottoman can even slide under the bottom shelf and be used as a place to sit when putting on shoes. The closet functions for coats and backpacks with the help of an ELFA door rack, so all of your essentials are neatly stored and easily found, which is key for helping kids get out the door.
