	Best Design Tips    Limited space means having a good storage plan during the building stage. This is the best time to decide were to put your books and CD's. In this space, two long shelves run the length of each room, and serve a secondary function of uniting the two spaces.      Keep wires out of sight, try sourcing gadgets which hide them. Roches Stores have handy wire hoses, these hold up to three wires neatly behind your television. If you have some spare cash, you could always take the option of a Plasma screen television as the owner of this apartment did.      The bedroom normally houses the wardrobes, however, if you are limited in space, and you have an extra room laying idle, why not transform the room into a walk-in wardrobe complete with wall-to-wall mirrors, every girls fantasy, somewhere to house her shoes!      If you are unable to get the real thing, why not source aa reproduction, the owner of this apartment sourced reproduction period taps from Ideal Bathrooms for the bath which was salvaged from Goodwoods of cork.

Room By Room

The Galley Kitchen The kitchen is a tiny galley kitchen that opens out onto a sunny roof garden. Blocking up a window meant another wall space could be used. The opposite wall has full length storage cupboard. Pull-down and pull-out storage maximised the available space, while a built in dishwasher minimised the need for dish stacking and draining, also cutting down on clutter.

The Bath Reproduction period taps from Ideal Bathrooms are used on a salvaged bath and sink from Goodwoods of Cork. The black bathroom chair was inherited from the apartment’s previous owner and the cushion upholstered to match the bedspread in screen-printed velvet commissioned from Vicky Richards in London. A mirror panel on the bath lightens the square solidity of the bath and provides interest.
