Alcove Cupboards – Battersea

Our client had two requests, 1) use recycled oak worktop and 2) reduce cost by using existing doors. Components were finished off-site and the install was completed in under four hours! This design has concealed fittings and can be can mounted on any wall. Alcoves cupboards and shelves are a creative way to use the space either side of a chimney breast.

Why use Exploit Space for your Alcove cupboards…

We are passionate about proportion, we build a complete 3D model of your space and will only propose designs which we feel sit well in the room. Your local carpenter will never be able to provide this level of service. A sense of proportion is something you are born with, just look at our portfolio, every piece sits well in its space, this isn’t luck, this isn’t clever photography. This is talent, this is instinct, this is a lifetime of studying art and design.

Why some alcove cupboards don’t look right…

A common mistake made local tradesmen is to allow the cupboard to cover parts of the chimney breast and the end result is a cupboard which looks squat and breaks up the lines of the room.  We do what looks good and not what is easy.

Panel doors where the stiles and rails are the same width will invariably look squat. Any fitted furniture should come with a lifetime guarantee: A lifetime  is s long time to be looking at seyong which has been badly designed.
