Magic wardrobes: Spaces Ink Design

It’s got nothing to do with lions and witches; this magic wardrobe is an award-winning Canterbury design.

In the recent National Kitchen and Bathroom Association awards (NKBA), one Canterbury designer stood out for a piece of innovative furniture. The ‘magic’ wardrobes designed by Sarah Harding of Spaces Ink Design.

Why magic? Because they appear to float. Taking home the NKBA award for Canterbury Alternative Design Recognition, Sarah’s bespoke wardrobe was designed for an ‘empty nester’ couple who live near the beach and decided to reinvent their home, rather than sell up.

The three variable-sized wardrobes, giving the illusion of floating, sit balanced opposite one another while also providing ample and flexible storage options.

“The curved wardrobe doors hinging off the fixed curved panels, were a massive challenge both to build and configure,” says Sarah. “Bates Joinery worked tirelessly to achieve perfection.” The NKBA judges called it “an innovative project that pushes boundaries with style and confidence.”
