My House: Two Designers Make Their Warsaw Loft an “Experimental” Space for Multifunctional Furniture

One of the secrets to living neatly in a small apartment, says Nix, is lots of storage space. To that end, the couple built big cabinets along the walls. To create a sense of visual unity throughout the eclectic but compact space, the couple hand-carved the tree pattern from the kitchen into the cabinet doors (from a template) using an electric router. It’s more than ornament: The cutouts eliminate the need for jutting cabinet pulls. Caster wheels on the bottom of additional storage allow the shelves to be stored under the kitchen island or rolled elsewhere to create a library anywhere in the apartment.
