Different rooms ask for different solutions, yet both are designed around the way they're used every day. In the drawing room, a pair of three-door wide alcove cabinets with strong floating shelves and a traditional timber fireplace surround redefine the space, finished in 'Brilliant White' satinwood that feels naturally at home within the existing setting. In the wardrobe area, generous drawer storage, visible shoe storage, and integrated lighting controlled by a hidden proximity switch keep daily routines feeling that little bit easier. Solid oak drawer fronts and a thick glass countertop introduce warmth and soften the overall look, bringing balance between display and storage across both spaces.

This snug cabinet is designed around the way time is actually spent in the room, from board games spread across the evening to quieter nights in front of the TV. Spacious cabinetry keeps essentials organised, while solid oak trims and full-stave oak cabinet tops add warmth and help the room feel settled, comfortable and easy to spend time in.

A small nook was transformed into a practical boot room, with a solid oak bench seat beneath coat hooks for jackets and bags. The shoe drawer in 'Oxford White' with adjustable shelves keeps footwear neatly organised and easy to manage every day.

Loft spaces often need storage that works around tricky angles rather than against them. This wardrobe follows the shape of the room to make full use of the space, with hanging sections keeping everyday clothing easy to reach and a large bifold door opening to deeper storage. Finished in 'Bush Life', the joinery settles naturally into the room while supporting day-to-day use.

This under-stairs space now works harder through the day, keeping pantry storage and everyday essentials all in one place. Finished in Farrow & Ball’s 'Arsenic', the sliding-door larder brings a bold presence, with flush handles in a satin finish helping the hallway stay easy to move through.

A once bare, square new-build living room now feels warmer and more settled with the addition of a plastered false chimney breast, cabinet bookcases, and a Welsh oak mantel shelf. An electric fire with real logs sits below the wall-mounted television, while dimmable lighting brings a softer glow in the room. Finished with bronzed handles, oak veneer-effect internals, and an in-house spray paint finish, the space brings together storage, display, and everyday comfort.

Books are picked up, put back, and revisited often in this room, so the storage is designed to hold them with care. Finished in Farrow & Ball's 'Blackened', the bookcase cabinet combines display and storage for our client's rare Welsh language literature collection, with reinforced shelves and fluted details that reflect the character of the fireplace.

Each space is designed to suit the way it’s used, with details shaped to meet the needs of the home.
An unused hallway was reshaped into a pantry with drawers and adjustable shelving, keeping groceries and kitchen essentials organised. A playroom in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Tallow’ combines spacious cabinetry with solid oak worktops and softened corners for everyday family use. In another space, a walk-in wardrobe works around a chimney breast with solid oak drawer fronts, shoe storage, and integrated lighting operated by a ghost switch, while a bedroom suite introduces separate his-and-hers areas, book storage, charging spaces, and warm oak interiors to keep routines feeling settled from morning to night.

Working around the angles of the room, this wardrobe keeps daily use straightforward. Two hanging compartments organise clothes, while a large bifold door opens to deeper storage. A thick floating shelf adds extra space, and the colour-matched doors sit alongside the existing cabinets, keeping everything cohesive and thoughtful.
