The alcoves either side of a chimney breast are rarely square, rarely level, and never the same size as each other — especially in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces we work on across Cardiff and Penarth. Freestanding furniture leaves them as dead space; bespoke joinery turns them into the best storage in the house.
We scribe every unit to the true shape of your walls, then — because we're a full renovation firm — we handle the bits pure furniture makers leave behind: sockets and lighting moved by our own electricians, caulking, priming and a sprayed or hand-painted finish. You get a decorated wall, not just a cabinet.
We fit alcove units as quick standalone jobs, or as part of a full living room remodel with a media wall to match.
Chunky floating shelves with no visible brackets, fixed properly into the wall and scribed to follow it — so the shadow gaps stay even from top to bottom even when the plaster doesn't.
The classic pairing: closed cupboards below to hide the clutter, open shelves above for books and display. Shaker or flat-panel doors, soft-close hinges, painted to your colour.
Full-height library shelving, or an alcove converted into a compact home-office nook with a built-in desk, sockets and lighting wired in as part of the job.
