The clear glass doors on Nicky Hilton’s built-in {above}, remind me of Liza Giles‘ French armoire {below} in her London flat. I quite like the idea of the transparent doors, which is similar to using library storage for pretty shoes and clutches, in which the items themselves become decorative, as opposed to being hidden away, adding dashes of colour and interest to a room.
