Project overview

Create storage that uses the room properly and looks as if it belongs to the house rather than being inserted afterwards.

Built-in storage works best when the widths, heights and trim details are taken from the room itself instead of a catalogue module.

  • Built-in wardrobes sized to the room
  • Matching shaker-style doors fitted in both alcoves
  • Trim lines carried through so the joinery feels integrated
  • Progress stage retained to show the scribed surround preparation

Construction

How the build was approached

This type of project depends on accurate carcass sizes, clean scribing and enough preparation so the finished joinery can sit tight to existing walls.

Coordination

How the services and the visible finish had to agree

Any sockets, radiators or existing trim details need to be resolved early so the fitted work does not feel compromised at the end.

Finished result

How the completed work changed the room.

The fitted layout uses both alcoves symmetrically; the photograph records the installation before the surrounding panels were fully made good and decorated.
