Alcove Shelving
Bespoke Alcove Shelving and Cabinets
Alcoves are one of the most practical spaces in a home when properly fitted. We design bespoke units that fit your exact recess.
Using Your Alcoves Properly
Period properties with chimney breasts create natural alcoves on either side - recesses that are rarely the same width, depth or height as each other. Freestanding furniture never fits properly. It leaves gaps, looks awkward and wastes space that could be working much harder.
We design and build bespoke alcove shelving and cabinets that fit your exact recess dimensions. Cabinets below for hidden storage, shelving above for books and display, all built to the millimetre so it looks like it has always been part of the room.
