Hidden linen cupboard using old fridge space

Tearing into another kitchen at my new Apartment 

Redesign upgrade of existing kitchen which was more more suited to  a 5 bedroom 2 storey home.

PS

Final detailing such as gaps being blacked out, doors aligned, panels cleaned. Etc. But hopefully this will inspire you to try thus product out and be creative in its application, this is a striking product and too much could be over powering if used every where, I would advise to make it a feature not a wall to wall to wall covering

Afternoon @Nishan1 

The timber panels/soundproffing panels caught my eye and then my eyes went wide as you described what you have done, love the way the picture frame half swings out :smile: Brilliant idea.

 

I also like you have the sheets segmanted to give that stacked effect. What was your reasoning behind that instead of a long verticle design?

Re: Hidden linen cupboard using old fridge space

What a terrific project @Nishan1! I love the level of finish you've been able to achieve with these panels. I'd have never known there was a concealed cabinet behind them. Very ingenious.

 

Great work and many thanks for sharing.

Re: Hidden linen cupboard using old fridge space

Thank you Dave, appreciate the feedback, no reason other than choice, the full length would be alot easier to line up, but this was really easy as well. 

I guess these panels are cnc cut to perfection so basically they lock together without any variation to the full length panels.

 

If was using it to line doors would probably go full.length. 

The panels are very easy to work with, it's just taking time to plan. When cutting panels use metal straight blade, use new blade frequently cut carefully,  as your cut lines up with the whatever next, glue with hot glue gun, screw in between gaps and cover heads with felt strip cut off's, they become  undetectable. Finally level every thing as you go, a couple of degrees adds up over 2-3 metres. 

Dave this is just a heads up, I'm sure you know all this, I just want to ensure  your covered. Product is definitely worth It, a very appealing feature that lifts a room! A+++
