Hacky and Micky homes have basements that seem to be underutilised, but they can be turned into comfortable book nooks with shelves. Turning a basement into a reading space is a way to store and be comfortable at the same time with a sense of tranquilly to study or relax.
Shelves at the walls or under windows are integrated into the structure maximising the vertical space but keeping books in order. The area is comfortable with nooks, seating, cushions, and soft lighting. Adjustable shelves enable the book size to be varied and hotel modular cabinets can be used to conceal magazines, journals or board games, keeping the space clean and in use.
In Hacky houses whose basement is shaped in an irregular manner, personal shelving transforms the odd angles to quaint reading nooks. Compact seating and vertical bookcases are used in smaller Micky houses to maximise the use of space, so that having a functional library does not decrease the amount of floor space.
Conclusion / Area of thought: Storage can be used to promote lifestyle and well-being by renovating basements into book nooks. The consideration: when even the darkest corners can be turned into personal spaces, and places of work, then, what other neglected items in our lives, our habits, could be made into spaces of creativity and pleasure?
