Considerations when creating your custom alcove unit

Our team will go through each of the vital considerations with you, when designing your units.

Alcove Unit Style

When designing your alcove unit, choose between various looks like low cupboards, shelving, or bookcases. Select classic panelled doors or a modern minimalistic style with push-to-open mechanisms. Decide on backings for wall concealment and strength, or floating shelves for a spacious illusion, ideal for smaller rooms.

Alcove Size

When designing alcove units, consider practical aspects such as dimensions. Determine if you want the unit to reach the ceiling and factor in the depth of the unit. You can minimise visual impact by building the unit flush with the alcove front. For extra storage space, consider extending the units slightly into the room with rounded edges for added safety.

Features And Finishes

After finalizing the basic design of your alcove storage, consider adding additional details. Incorporate clever features; such as solutions to conceal wires, and integrated LED lighting for showcasing books or decor items. Explore painting options for your alcove units - popular choices include classic white, matching the wall color for a spacious look, or opting for a contrasting color for a bold, contemporary appearance.
