ON DISPLAY Shelves
made from the same
material as the
floorboards – Architect
Collection American
oak-veneer boards in
French Grey from Royal Oak
- fill the void between the
fireplace and side windows.
Books, photos and other
mementos look great in
this open display – more

appear to float thanks to
their concealed supports,
which were installed when
the frame for the extension
went up. A plinth/bench
seat runs the length of
the room, anchoring the
chimneybreast, which
is clad in Random Ashlar
from Eco Outdoor.
