Bespoke Service
Alcove Units
Bespoke shelving and cabinets either side of the fireplace.
Designed around your home.
A signature of period homes - perfectly symmetrical, precisely scribed and hand-finished to make the room feel complete.
Period houses rarely have square alcoves, so every unit is templated and scribed to the wall. We build cabinets below with shelving above, hand-painted on site for a finish that reads as original architecture.
Every alcove units project we take on is drawn, engineered and hand-finished in our Buckinghamshire workshop - then installed by the same team, typically inside a week.
What's included

FAQs
Alcove Units - the details.
Common questions we're asked before starting a alcove units project.
Can you match the existing skirting and cornice?
Yes - we template mouldings and reproduce them to blend seamlessly.
Do you offer adjustable shelves?
Both fixed and adjustable options are available, depending on what will be displayed.
How are they finished?
Hand-painted in your chosen colour, typically in a durable eggshell.
