Alcove Units
Looking for a classic, stylish and practical look to enhance your living room?
The main advantage of fitted alcove units is that they provide valuable storage space in recessed parts of the room – so they don’t get in the way.
Typically, our made-to-measure alcove units are fitted on either side of a chimney breast and feature a low cupboard or cabinet below a bookcase, either with or without doors.
If you wish to incorporate a TV or sound system, it can either stand on top of the cupboard or be concealed within it. The base cupboard of the alcove unit is ideal for concealing entertainment systems, or it can provide storage for plates and crockery.
Designs and finishes range from classic traditional to modern. The traditional Victorian style has recessed panel doors, mouldings and fluted columns.
Traditional options also include fixed or adjustable shelves, a cornice top, side columns, mouldings and recessed panel doors or flat doors with planted mouldings, a small recessed plinth or skirting.
If a contemporary or modern look is more to your taste, we offer plain doors with touch catches and ‘floating’ shelves with invisible fixings. The finishes can be spray painted, hand painted or natural wood, oiled, lacquered or French Polished. Any alcove unit can be delivered ‘raw’ for your own specialist to finish if required.
Our natural wood finishes include Beech, Oak, Sepele, Maple, Walnut, Cherry and others to order. These can either be oiled to a light satin finish or lacquered with a highly durable satin or gloss surface.
Paint options include spraying for a perfectly smooth satin or gloss result or hand-painting for an eggshell satin finish. Please feel free to ask us about the design options for bespoke alcove units for your home.
