Fitted Alcove Shelving London

Alcove space either side of a chimney breast is one of the most useful spots in a room for built-in storage — shelving, cupboards, or a mix of both, built to the exact width, depth and height of the recess. We design and build alcove shelving and cupboards made to measure, from floating shelves to fully enclosed storage.

Built-In Alcove Cupboards

Enclosed cupboard storage keeps the alcove’s contents out of sight while making full use of the space — good for books, electronics, toys, or general household storage you don’t want on open display. Interiors can include drawers, adjustable shelves, or a section for a media unit, and finishes can either blend into the room or act as more of a feature.

Floating Alcove Shelves

Floating shelves suit a more minimalist look — no visible brackets or supports, giving the impression the shelf is held in place by the wall alone (the support is hidden inside the shelf and wall fixing). A popular choice for displaying books, art or ornaments in contemporary interiors, and one of the simplest ways to add storage to an alcove without it dominating the room.

Modern Alcove Cupboards

For a more contemporary look, cupboards with gloss, matte or textured finishes and integrated handles suit both new-build renovations and period properties being updated. Features like cable management or integrated lighting can be built in if the alcove is being used for a TV or display unit.
