Between the Studs

If your current storage space is maxed out and you're still needing more, it might be time to consider the space between the studs.  Christopher Patrick of <a href="http://www.christopherpatrickinteriors.com/">Christopher Patrick Interiors</a> demonstrates the way with custom recessed shelves he designed for an upstairs bath at the 2012 DC Design House.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5R9J87RAjGeYlaWb16uPNQlYz4jGiZS4Yw0SgCQTAKOHynC-9vfOM_hkD8furnwOR_SnNLEf84-w5zSYHtzl0qZx2z5oPkUylUYtL55sdvPaT_eCY9861eEFlgit-ap6RJM35i_w1_lSk/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-05-23+at+6.39.48+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5R9J87RAjGeYlaWb16uPNQlYz4jGiZS4Yw0SgCQTAKOHynC-9vfOM_hkD8furnwOR_SnNLEf84-w5zSYHtzl0qZx2z5oPkUylUYtL55sdvPaT_eCY9861eEFlgit-ap6RJM35i_w1_lSk/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-05-23+at+6.39.48+PM.png" width="416" /></a></div><br />Although variations may occur depending on the construction of your home, interior wall studs are typically spaced 16 inches on center with a depth of about 3 ½ inches . In addition to bathrooms, this space is sufficient to provide useful solutions in other rooms too. If you have a cramped entry way, consider a recessed space for coats, hats and umbrellas. A recessed wine rack allows for easy access for entertaining or a storage cabinet with doors conceals extra space for pantry items.  The empty hallway wall space between bedrooms could be the new home for a recessed  cabinet housing cleaning supplies or recessed shelves in a home office can provide orderly storage for desk supplies.<br /><br />If the interior wall is not load bearing, it may even be possible for you or your carpenter to safely remove a stud to provide for wider storage. If you do decide to tackle this as a do-it-yourself project, make sure  there's no plumbing, ductwork, or electrical wiring behind the wall. Nadia Subaran of <a href="http://www.aidandesign.com/">Aidan Design</a> created this wide glass cabinet built-in at the 2012 Design House kitchen.  Love it!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisPhrvE7mldM-RYGbilw9oSPR_rTigD8ymuMVo0zyV_COarYnJ9vIZ49A9qccRdxZFxRmfxqh-hi39e7cQSEyYm-gcdGkO79XhvDd5kSiC4wPISvJdZM6wmM9It5eNvb7NTANGXodtnxA/s1600/P1110102.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592268218764158034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisPhrvE7mldM-RYGbilw9oSPR_rTigD8ymuMVo0zyV_COarYnJ9vIZ49A9qccRdxZFxRmfxqh-hi39e7cQSEyYm-gcdGkO79XhvDd5kSiC4wPISvJdZM6wmM9It5eNvb7NTANGXodtnxA/s640/P1110102.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a>
