The dining area

Dining area overview

A previously bare dining space with plain walls, minimal furniture and exposed wiring was transformed into a more characterful, functional area featuring a hand‑built under‑stairs desk, concealed electrics, new décor, and curated wall displays.

Structural and decorative work

  • Walls painted up to the second dado rail to create a defined visual break.
  • Feature wall wallpaper added to bring texture and interest.
  • Console unit installed along with a large mirror to open up the space.
  • Bicycle wall mount added temporarily as a display piece.

Under‑stairs workspace

  • Hand‑built desk enhanced with wood cabinets underneath for storage.
  • Concealed wiring routed cleanly to keep the workspace tidy and integrated.

Display features

  • HMS Terror wall display added alongside period artwork inspired by its story.
  • Large dining table sourced from Facebook Marketplace to complete the room.

Electrical and broadband tidy‑up

  • Broadband box tidy with all wiring concealed for a cleaner finish.
