Bespoke living room joinery that looks as though it was always there — alcove units, media walls, window seats and fitted shelving that elevates every room.

Bespoke Living Spaces

Living room joinery: media walls, alcoves and shelving

Bespoke living-room joinery that looks as though it was always part of the house — media walls, alcove units, window seats, fitted shelving and storage. Designed and hand-built for living spaces across London and the Home Counties.

We design around your TV, fireplace, windows and proportions, integrating cable management, lighting and concealed storage. Open-plan or traditional, the joinery ties the room together and is finished by hand.

Not covered here? Call us on 01494 261 564 — we'll answer straight away.

How do you achieve the right proportions in alcove shelving?
Proportion in alcove joinery comes from the relationship between shelf spacing, the visual weight of the uprights and the depth of the unit relative to the room. We use classical cabinetmaking ratios as a starting point and refine them for your specific alcove dimensions and ceiling height. The result looks right in a way that a modular system rarely does.
Can you build a room divider that has storage on both sides?
Yes — double-sided storage dividers are a common brief in open-plan homes. A bookshelf that is open on the living room side and has closed cabinetry on the kitchen side, for example. We design both sides as part of the same piece so both look intentional and complete.
What's the strongest fixing method for floating shelves?
For solid floating shelves we use concealed steel box-section brackets fixed into the structural wall. The bracket is enclosed within the shelf and is completely invisible from the front, sides and below. We size the bracket to the load and span — a shelf carrying heavy books requires a different specification from one carrying lightweight ornaments.
Can you match my existing skirting and architrave profiles?
Yes. We can source matching moulding from specialist suppliers or run bespoke profiles on our CNC machine. Matching existing profiles in a room makes the difference between joinery that looks added and joinery that looks original.

The best living-room joinery looks as though the house was always built around it.
