Custom Alcove Cupboards

Our hand made bespoke alcove units are created to suit the style of your home. We can have a carpenter visit you to measure the space and build a fully custom alcove or tv unit that compliments your home whether it be Victorian, Georgian or contemporary.

What are Alcove Cupboards?

Alcove cupboards are most commonly low level and used as a surface to place your TV in a living room. They are typically created in a combination of base cupboards and floating shelves above, fitted into a small recessed area of the room. Most homeowners choose to mirror with matching alcove cupboards and shelves either side of a chimney breast.

The most common modern alcove cupboard styles are Shaker, decorative grooves, or simple doors with classic hardware handles. Alternatively, Victorian or Edwardian styles are popular with many UK homes from the turn of the century, to tie-in with period character like fireplaces, bay windows, architraves and ceiling roses.

Lighting or power sockets can be hidden underneath, or fitted in a discreet position to add functionality and versatility to the unit without drawing attention away and distracting from the aesthetic.

How Tall Should Alcove Cupboards Be?

The height of your alcove cupboard will very much depend on the purpose of the cupboard. Traditionally alcove unit cupboards have alway been built to an 80cm height, which is the same as a sideboard.  Contemporary uses of the alcove cupboard are generally TV and gaming related which may require a more bespoke, lower height. We can help whatever your requirements may be.
