Case Study

A Custom Storage Wall in Southeast Florida Built From a Single Empty Dining Room Wall

How DreamMaker transformed a bare wall into a banquette, an LED-lit cubby display, hidden side-wall storage doors, and ultimately a custom dining table - all born from one designer's visit and one installer's brilliant idea.

Project Overview

A Blank Wall. A Big Idea. A Space Transformed.

This client had downsized to a smaller home and was struggling to find storage. A designer’s visit revealed the answer: a large empty wall in the dining room. What followed was a collaborative design process that produced a banquette with under-seat storage, a protruding accent wall that added depth, LED-lit cubbies for display, hidden doors on the side walls for even more concealed storage, and eventually a custom dining table built from the same Showplace materials. One wall became an entire room.

About The Neighborhood

Southeast Florida is one of the state’s most sought-after regions, known for its vibrant coastal communities, year-round sunshine, and relaxed lifestyle. From established neighborhoods to growing communities, the region offers the perfect blend of waterfront living, modern conveniences, and easy access to shopping, dining, and recreation.

The Challenge

What Wasn’t Working

Before the remodel, the space faced several challenges:

Like many homes in Cave Springs, the master bath retained its original footprint — creating real functional limitations for a busy household and making what should be a personal retreat feel like an afterthought.

BEFORE:

“The designer saw the potential in that wall immediately. And when our installer suggested the hidden side doors, it took the whole design to another level. We love every inch of it.”

The Solution

Built From a Single Wall Into an Entire Feature.

To solve the bathroom’s layout and style challenges, DreamMaker redesigned the master bath with improved flow, custom storage, natural light, and a clean modern finish. Removing the unused Jacuzzi unlocked the footprint entirely, custom cabinetry made every inch purposeful, and thoughtful material choices brought the spa-like atmosphere the homeowners had always wanted.

Key Improvements included:

Banquette seating designed along the wall with under-seat access for large-item storage
Protruding accent wall added to break up the length and add visual depth
LED tape-lit cubbies built in for displaying accent pieces and family photos
Hidden doors created on the side walls below the cubbies - a field installer's idea - providing additional concealed storage within the wall itself
3D renderings used to bring the full accent wall concept to life before build
Custom dining table built at project completion using the same Showplace Wood Cabinetry finish as the floating shelves
