Custom Joinery: The Rise of The Multipurpose Space in Australian Homes

Have you ever heard of the word “cloffice” before? It's a recent Pinterest search word that describes a wardrobe or closet that has been turned into an office or workspace. As people spend more time at home in the wake of the COVID pandemic, the surge in usage of the word reflects a change in how we currently use our homes, where multipurpose rooms are becoming more desired.

Fortunately, custom joinery allows you to cram a lot of functionality into the tiniest room in the house without having to upsize. Creating adaptable spaces can completely transform how you and your family live at home.

Use Every Inch of Your Space Available

When you have cabinetry and joinery that are specifically tailored to fit your lifestyle and the dimensions of your house, there's no need for big furniture that takes up floor space. For instance, adding custom banquette seating would instantly quadruple the size of your kitchen or dining area if you enjoy hosting dinner parties but need more space. This will create a corner dining nook. A banquette design with concealed storage gives you the ideal place to store extra linens, cutlery, and other items required for hassle-free entertaining at home.

Takes Full Advantage of Vertical Space

Custom joinery expands your house's storage space, particularly if the shelves reach the ceiling. By using the walls in this fashion, you have extra floor space at your disposal to use in any way you see fit. Store your seasonal and infrequently used items high up, and for even greater storage versatility, consider shelving systems that can be quickly moved around and configured to suit your collections.

Prevents the Mess from Being Seen

Do you have a guest room that serves as both the home office and a guest room? A workstation that can be concealed behind cabinet doors, or a "cloffice," converts the space from a workspace into a tidy and welcoming guest bedroom in a matter of seconds. The same holds for eat-in kitchens with a butler's pantry off to the side or living rooms that serve as the primary play area for children. Sometimes the only choice is to close the door on the mess.

Allows Separation Between Work and Play

If you've ever worked from home, you are aware of how difficult it can be to switch off when it's time to stop, particularly if your desk nook is situated in a busy room like the kitchen, living room, or hallway. You can effectively disconnect from work and concentrate on your family and leisure time by locking the doors to your workspace and turning on the mental "out of office" sign.
