Bespoke alcove cabinets and shelves Bristol
Designed and Made in our Bristol workshop
We design and make alcove cabinets and shelves
Designed and built to fit your living room – and make the most of your alcoves
From traditional shaker cupboards in Bristol’s many Victorian terraces, to bold storage solutions in 1930s semis and clean painted shelving in modern homes; every alcove project we take on is made to measure and built to last.
We’ve designed and made alcove cabinets, bookcases, TV units and full-height shelving for homes across Bristol.
Bespoke alcove furniture, designed and made in our Bristol workshop with over 22 years of hands-on experience.
Jim has very high standards of craftsmanship and the cupboards, shelves and desk top are beautifully made and a real pleasure both to look at and to use.
Our Alcove Projects
Most of the alcove furniture we make is fully fitted, designed to make the most of your space and finished exactly how you want it.
We’ve built everything from classic cupboards with adjustable shelves to full-height bookcases, low TV cabinets, and neat storage with hidden drawers. While alcoves are often found in living rooms, we’ve also designed alcove furniture for bedrooms, hallways, and even home offices.
We can include thoughtful features – like cable management cutouts, adjustable shelving, soft-close drawers, or push-to-open doors – all tailored to how you use the space and what you need to store or display.

Bespoke alcove cabinets and shelves Bristol
Our clients are often mid-renovation or putting the finishing touches to their forever home. They’re looking for bespoke alcove cabinets and shelves that work beautifully, fit perfectly, and are built to last.
They think carefully about how they use their space, and they value good design, craftsmanship, and natural materials. Many enjoy being part of the process – from visiting the workshop to seeing how it all comes together.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Our alcove design process is personal – we take the time to get it right
It starts with a proper conversation about what you need and how you use the space. We sketch ideas, share samples, and talk through the details. Every alcove cabinet is designed from scratch and made by us in our Bristol workshop.
Working with us is straightforward and friendly. There’s no hard sell – just a chat to see if we’re the right fit for your project.
Utterly reliable, no mess, and lovely people to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Our 4-Step Alcove Cabinet and shelving Design and Installation Process

We start with a conversation, at your home or in our workshop, to chat through ideas, look at materials, and give you an initial estimate.

We design your alcove unit, including any drawers, shelves, and lighting. You’ll get a full 3D design to review and approve.
3. Made in Our Workshop
Your alcove cabinets are built by us in our Hambrook workshop. You’re always welcome to visit.
4. Alcove Cabinet Installation
We install with care and precision. We’re tidy, respectful of your home, and make sure everything is ready to use straight away.
