Good storage has been a key priority in Caroline’s 57 square metre apartment in Grünerløkka in Oslo. She has chosen Décor+ by Elfa in white with wooden details in birch for her storage in the bedroom.
As part of the bedroom, Caroline has built a small walk-in wardrobe with structured glass walls. Inside the wardrobe, one of the walls is covered with floor-to-ceiling shelves for storing shoes.
"To store shoes in the best possible way, I store them in the box so that they can be protected as much as possible. Of course, the prettiest thing would have been to have them on display, but here I’ve chosen the best way to preserve the shoes instead. By decorating the shelves with books, accessories and other small items - such as an Eiffel Tower - I extend the decor to the wardrobe," says Caroline.
In the apartment’s other bedroom (guest room), a wardrobe has been built with stylish glass sliding doors with a black frame. The door model is called Artic.
"I wanted a wardrobe that could function as much as a piece of furniture as storage. This solution has both open shelves and drawers and also functions as a kind of shelf. This makes it easy to create beautiful still lifes and decorate here."
By making good use of the space in both rooms, from floor to ceiling, Caroline has created a wardrobe that can be both visually inspiring and personal, but at the same time well organised.
For the guest room, Caroline has chosen Décor+ by Elfa in grey, with wooden details in matte grey.
"I feel incredibly comfortable in my wardrobe, largely thanks to the combination of good overview, good solutions and that it also has something personal. I think you could describe it as costume warehouse meets archive."
