Gift Wrapping Room
PROJECT DETAILS
Remodel Type: Special Purpose Room
Design Style: Modern
Clients Favorite Part: Rolling desks that combine into one
BEFORE CONDITIONS
- Low and oddly angled ceiling
- Space lacked a function
- Closet lacked storage
- Needed to maintain access to connected attic room
DESIGN SOLUTIONS
- Created a gift wrapping room for a couple that loves to create elaborately wrapped presents for loved ones, that can also work as a sewing room when they are feeling crafty.
- The desks were designed with funky custom graphics in a sustainable material by a local manufacturer and can be rolled together for larger projects.
- The versatile storage system allows supplies stored in the closet to be easily accessed and hung from the slat wall behind the desk during a project.
- The reading nook reinforces the multifunctional purpose of this unique room. A comfortable chair, side table, and floor lamp allows the home owner to take a break from sewing or wrapping without leaving the room.
- New custom rolling carts for their wrapping paper supplies were built to stash in the closet for easy access
THE DETAILS
- A bold graphic inspired by their graffiti art wraps the reading nook in bright bands of color and disguises the attic storage door.
- The client’s unique bunny art is vividly framed to provide balance on the opposite side of the room from the wall graphic.
- The bunny art is referenced in a cheeky way as a bunny head was included in the design on each unique desk top.
- Eco sensitive materials were utilized throughout the space, from the no-VOC paint used on the walls to the FLOR carpet tiles used to create the rug.

About Colleen
I live in Minneapolis with my landscape architect/urban designer husband, my volleyball & Taylor Swift loving daughter who believes she’s my design assistant, an independent Siamese, a feisty grey-striped kitten, and a menagerie of turkeys and other wild animals who visit our backyard for the free food. When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me cooking up a Paleo feast, cheering for my daughter's volleyball team, playing pickleball, or hiding in a corner with my nose in a book.
