Home idea with IKEA: a walk-in and a workspace

Latvian tradition meets Swedish furniture! The folk dance group Austris needs a designer to lend them a hand. The dancers are longing for a well-organised storage space for their robes, but the space has its challenges. There is a window that would be needed for occasional paperwork but is not beneficial for the clothes, as they tend to become discoloured over time if subjected to daylight. So a well-thought-out solution for clothes storage is a must.

Before: lots and lots of everything

Tucked at the far end of an elongated chamber rests a single window, casting a soft glow upon a collection of traditional Latvian robes and accessories. Amidst the historic treasures, the room craves a revival—a makeover longing for order and efficient organizing solutions. Within its embrace lies the promise of a renewed space, a canvas awaiting the strokes of creative transformation and revitalization.

After: a dressing room fit for Hollywood

Adorning the longest wall, an open wardrobe solution beckons—an ever-evolving canvas for traditional dance ensembles. Adaptable and expandable, it graciously holds attire and accessories. A mirror, framed by Hollywood lights, stands sentinel, ready to reflect the elegance of every twirl and step, inviting a dance through time.

How to store accessories

Designed specifically for the dance group's performances, a storage haven emerges—drawers and shelves housing crowns and intricate Latvian jewelry. Each piece finds sanctuary within labeled boxes, maintaining impeccable order and safeguarding against dust. This specialized space stands as a testament to reverence for tradition and meticulous organization, ensuring every adornment gleams for the stage.

A touch of freshness

Breathing life into the renovated interior, vibrant greenery takes root, imparting a revitalizing touch. Lush plants, nestled in strategic corners and perched upon elegant stands, infuse the space with nature's grace. Their verdant allure softens the lines, bestowing a sense of tranquility and vitality upon the renewed ambiance.
