The client on this project contacted me because they were looking to solve a couple of issues they felt their living room had. It’s a somewhat narrow room with fairly low ceilings, and they wanted something that would draw the eye up to make the ceilings feel a bit higher without extending out into the room anymore than necessary. Their home was also lacking bookshelves, and they thought a floor-to-ceiling set of shelves would do the trick.
With the addition of the under-shelf lighting, these bookshelves create a nice focal point in the space without overwhelming it.
Before picture (sort of); I didn’t remember to take a picture until I had already gotten started.
