Bespoke alcove cabinet with three floating shelves in Lincoln, manufactured in moisture resistant MDF with oak veneered internals.

Overview

Bespoke Alcove Unit & Floating Shelves in Lincoln

Radial Joinery designed and installed this bespoke alcove unit in Lincoln to create practical storage while improving the character of the room. This type of work forms part of our fitted storage furniture in Lincoln and our wider bespoke joinery services in Lincoln.

The project included a fitted alcove cabinet with floating shelves above, all made to suit the exact size of the room. Bespoke furniture allows the storage to fit perfectly within the space rather than using standard units.

Client Brief

The client wanted a fitted alcove cabinet with three floating shelves above the chimney breast. The design needed to feel balanced and sit naturally within the existing recess.

We also discussed repairs to the front bay window, which were quoted separately. Projects like this are often completed alongside our bespoke wardrobes in Lincoln and other fitted furniture where storage is made to suit the room exactly.

Construction and Materials

We built the alcove unit using moisture resistant MDF to improve durability and stability. Inside the cabinet, we used oak veneered MDF to add warmth and contrast.

The cabinet includes soft close hinges and simple chrome pull knobs. These details keep the design clean and understated while providing smooth operation.

Above the cabinet, we installed three bespoke floating shelves. Each shelf was aligned carefully to suit the proportions of the alcove and surrounding walls.

Prepared for Decoration

We supplied the unit ready for decoration so the customer could colour match the cabinet to the final room scheme. This approach allows the furniture to blend naturally with the rest of the interior.

Fitted Alcove Furniture in Lincoln

The finished alcove unit provides enclosed storage at low level, while the floating shelves create useful display space above. Bespoke fitted furniture allows the design to suit the room rather than using standard sizes.

We regularly manufacture alcove units, fitted cupboards and shelving across Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire villages.
