Room of the Day: An Upstairs Suite Makes Room for Family (14 photos)

AFTER: Guggenheim extended the hallway’s storage dramatically, demolishing the existing closets and building new ones to recapture some of the sloped ceiling space. Drawers hold folded items, shoes and jewelry, and the new closets to the right of the drawers store hanging items. “The storage wall really solved a problem for them,” Guggenheim says. It not only concealed more belongings, but it also provided an attractive layer of detail.

Guggenheim enhanced the hallway’s natural light with lots of white surfaces, pale wood flooring and borrowed light from adjacent rooms. The frosted glass doors are the only source of natural light in the hall, but they keep the space bright throughout the day.

The homeowner designed the bench, which was built by a friend.
