Disguise cluttered alcoves with sliding panels

Create stunning but inexpensive sliding fabric panels that'll look fantastic drawn across alcoves

How to create the look

  • Fix tracks to the ceiling and hang panels of fabric that will cover the entire height of the alcove for a neat finish.

  • Match the fabric on the panels to the wallpaper on the chimney breast to create the illusion of a feature wall.

  • Use storage boxes for paper work and magazines and keep CDs in racks.
