After a decade of renting I recently bought a flat; out of nowhere feelings for it appeared.
I've only done very basic DIY & decorating before, and want to use the small (119 x 126 cm) storage room we have as my practice project.
The Plan
- get plumber to fix mess of pipes (we think this room used to have the boiler), I've just boxed out where these are in the model
- rip out skirting board and existing boxing (or adjust if possible) and box new piping
- remove wallpaper that is hanging off of the back wall, probably because it is bare render, not plasterboard
- prepare back wall for decorating
- build storage unit; I have some strange fascination with the bottom layer of shelves possibly being used as a desk or workbench which I'd like to keep clear of supports to allow rotation side-to-side when sitting and this made the supports more complicated
- use LED strips to under-light the shelves
Before Pictures
SketchUp
Concept and proposed support structure. I'm planning to use solid wood, sanded and painted before assembly.
Questions
- Anything obviously wrong with my design?
- Do we need to plaster the rear wall, or is it possible to apply paper to render?
- Any ideas for improvements/extras?
Thanks kindly.
