In London and most cities, we all see to crave space, more space, bigger fittings, bigger rooms, bigger bigger bigger!
But its actually quite a discipline in itself to try and make functional pieces for smaller spaces…you have to be prudent and economical with space, able to cover up the gubbins of pipework and wires, doors may need to function in a different way. It’s a set of criteria without much room for manouevre, you need to pare things down to neat, but attractive functionality. And in many ways, I feel that it’s a good skill in itself.
Narrowboat carpentry and interiors can be a particular challenge, but worth it!
I myself live in quite a small space and like to make attractive bespoke carpentry and fittings for my own space - it’s all unique and I like that.
The photo below was a neat bathroom vanity unit I made for a London houseboat interior.
