Full-height pantry walls integrate heavy kitchen appliances behind push-to-open pocket doors, keeping benchtops completely free of clutter.
4. Floating Cantilevered Vanities with Under-Lighting
Wall-mounted bathroom vanities crafted from moisture-resistant timber veneer create a light floating effect, enhanced by indirect LED floor washers.
