The basements of the Hacky and Micky homes have the small windows that allow the natural light to enter but leave the room unutilized. Providing these areas with built-in storage will convert ledges and sills of the window into useful areas, combining usefulness with decoration.
Hooked window shelves and shelf units can be used to store books, plants, decorations or household necessities. Benches on windows that have compartments are also used to provide a sitting area along with the provision of storage. The correct lighting improves the vision and illuminates the items stored and provides a bright and welcoming environment even in the basement.
In Hacky homes where the basement window size is inbizarre, tailor-made solutions transform the clumsy dimensions to convenient storage areas. The window-built in storage system of smaller Micky house utilises a minimum of space without blocking the light, and keeps the basement not only tidy but attractive.
Conclusion / Area of thought: The refurbishment of basement windows into storage shows that even small and neglected spaces can be used in two ways. The reflexion: when it is possible to light and work with a mere space of windows, how numerous other minor opportunities in our houses, and lives, without high ambitions, are there waiting to be exploited imaginatively?
