Door in disguise

Read anything good lately?

 Well if you want to borrow a bestseller from this bookshelf you might be disappointed as Muraldesign’s been working its magic!

This once plain white doorway in a character cottage is now a fascinating trompe l’oeil which features faux cupboard doors, identical to those the other side of the fireplace, and shelves filled with an eclectic mix of books, objets d’art and everyday items.

The music-loving residents of this Putney home can now enjoy browsing their bookshelves without the need for dusting thanks to this clever, comical and very cool creation.

 Muraldesign incorporated an array of quirky touches including books entitled ‘The History of the Mini’ by Cooper and ‘Man’s Best Friend’ by Jack Russell, Beatles style Russian dolls and a lifelike £5 note tucked underneath an ashtray.
