In this week’s project, Lel transforms a mid-century modern cabinet into something truly special…
What started as a tired old piece becomes a beautiful feature cabinet, filled with plants and softly lit from within. By removing the glass and adding grow lights, this piece is completely reimagined as a living display for the home.

The design is inspired by rich Indian colours and patterns, using vibrant pinks, turquoise tones and layered decoupage to create depth and detail throughout.
