Denim board-and-batten book wall
A grid board-and-batten wall in denim blue, 1.5m high, whose mid and top rails each carry a lipped book ledge: almost 7 metres of face-out shelf at a five-year-old's reach and a parent's, standing only 140mm off the wall so it takes no floor. The MDF skin and battens below take the scuffs a kids' room hands out, and wipe clean.
