This bespoke alcove drinks cabinet and display shelves were commissioned for a client’s residence in Esher, Surrey. Expertly handcrafted, the alcove units are a fine example of the high end, fitted furniture we create. Bespoke cabinets with solid wood frames as shown in this room are always a hallmark of quality. The two double lower lefthand side cupboards have been specifically designed to store our client’s whisky bottles and glassware. The impressive collection is displayed behind beautifully glazed doors, with the interior backlit and operated by a built-in sensor. The righthand side made to measure cabinet features solid wood doors with a flat panel instead of glass. Glazed doors showcase items and allow you to see what’s inside without opening, while solid doors offer a cleaner look with more privacy, allowing you to organised items you don’t want on display. Overall, the design of the alcove cupboards and shelves has a timeless composition that will allow for flexibility in the years to come. The beauty of natural oak wood The floating shelves and wooden frames have been crafted in sustainable solid oak, chosen for its natural beauty and texture, strength, durability and ease of maintenance. Oak veneer has been used for the countertops and to line the cabinet interiors. Veneer offers greater stability and more efficient use of wood resources compared to solid wood. The full width chunky upper floating alcove shelves make a real statement in the room. Made from thick premium grade oak the shelves are designed to securely display books, artworks and heavy treasured pieces. Built in recessed dimmable warm white led lights bring extra ambience and warmth to the room, especially in the evening. Customised details and finish The custom made cabinets are handle free, and instead have finger pull doors, featuring a handcrafted recessed groove for gripping. This design was chosen for its sleek, uncluttered look and ease of opening without the need for additional hardware. The cabinets have been painted in Farrow & Ball Stony Ground No.211, a soft stone-inspired neutral colour. The subtle warm undertones create a serene and inviting atmosphere. It’s a sophisticated look that won’t go out of style.
