Indoor-Outdoor Flow Decks built right off the house make it easy for indoor living to flow outside. In the case of this home by Wang Architects in Austin, Texas, a kitchen pass-through improves the transition even more, creating an opportunity for guests to pull up a stool outside and chat with the cook in the kitchen.
Drying Drawers and Cabinets Pros also highly recommend adding custom drying drawers or cabinets. Designer Emily Pinney of Pinney Designs in Boston added custom drying drawers with mesh bottoms to this remodeled laundry room. “So many items need to be dried flat and not go in a dryer,” Pinney says. “These drawers allow space for that. And by stacking these shelves and building them into the design, they’re not taking up precious floor space with free-standing drying racks.”
Designer tip. “The client needed to put the kitty box in this room, so we designed a space under the wall-mounted utility sink for it,” designer Selena Fitch says. “To protect the cabinets and walls around the litter box, we extended the frames of the side cabinets a half-inch and added subway tile to the sides of them and the wall so they can be kept clean.”
