If you’ve got alcoves in your home, you may have tried to find furniture to tuck nicely away in the recesses and provide you with some extra storage. However, alcoves range in size and depth and therefore it can be really tricky to find the perfect shelves, cupboards, cabinets or whatever you're looking for to fill the gap.

Picture this, bespoke fitted wardrobes, plenty of space, drawers that aren't full to bursting and as many shelves as you need. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, we can help to make your dreams a reality with bespoke bedroom fitted furniture. 

Cabinets are ideal if you need a little more storage or if you’ve got lots of ornaments, books or photos you’d like to display nicely. They come in all shapes and sizes, some with drawers, others with cupboards and shelves, but one thing’s for sure, they're a practical and attractive way to store your belongings. 

Need a space to work from home?

With more and more employers offering flexible working as an option, working from home is becoming increasingly popular. Many of us have only recently started to work from home, but will do so for the foreseeable future as it is not possible to go into the office. 

When it comes to creating a secret room you have two options. Firstly, you might choose to conceal an existing room or facility using something like a secret bookcase door. Alternatively, you might wish to create an entirely new space, using partition walls to divide up one of the larger rooms in your home. 

Does your living room or bedroom have alcoves? Do you often find yourself wondering how you could make more of the space and effectively accommodate your TV and belongings? Well, that stops now! Because we have the answer. Alcove shelving could be the right solution!

We love getting to create fun and functional designs and one of our favourite projects to work on is a secret bookcase. You may have only seen these in Hollywood films up until now, but these can be a really practical storage solution and if you want one, they can be a reality in your home or office. In the past, we’ve worked with clients to produce moving bookcases which hide wall safes and even disguise whole rooms or lift. Still not sure why should you choose a secret bookcase?

With bespoke alcove units, you no longer have to let alcoves or recessed spaces go to waste. There are a number of options available to you, but one of our most popular is fitted alcove bookcases and floating shelves. The right shelves can completely change the look and feel of your home or office and can help to create a fresh, tidy space. If you're considering some home renovations this year, here’s why fitted alcove bookcases could be the perfect solution for you.

The beauty of a bespoke fitted wardrobe is that it can be made to your exact requirements. Your custom design means you can choose what the interior of your wardrobe looks like by using a mixture of shelves, hanging spaces and draws - as much or as little as you want.

Do you enjoy sitting on your balcony, having your morning coffee and taking in the fresh air? Having a wooden balcony is such a lovely addition to a home, but over time these can become damaged or weak. For this reason, there will usually come a day when your balcony needs some repairs done or perhaps even a complete replacement. 

We recently completed a lovely project installing some Victorian room dividing doors for one of our clients. This is an effective way to manage your space, allowing you to create one or two rooms using room dividers as you please. 

There are a number of reasons you might want to consider room dividers, but if you're undecided whether this is the right decision for you, we’re here to help. Taking a look back over one of our most recent projects, we’ll outline some of the key reasons you should opt for room dividers in your home.

Choose something stylish 

Here at Solid Carpentry we are always on the look out for exciting new projects and challenges as a carpentry contractor. Most recently we’ve been branching out into the commercial space and have done some work with big name brands such as Ralph Lauren, House of Fraser and Westfield.

Clutter, we all have it. Whether it’s the ironing board we only use once a month, or the many shoe boxes of old photographs and nick-knacks we’ve collected over the years. But just because these things aren't needed for daily use, it doesn't mean we want to get rid of them or put them in storage that’s difficult for us to access quickly (a loft eaves for example). 

Are you struggling to find the space to display your personal possessions? Perhaps you need somewhere to keep your books or CDs? If store-bought shelves are not fitting your style, space or needs, it could be time to consider getting some bespoke shelving units made for your home or business. 

There are a number of affordable solutions that mean you don't have to compromise on your style or space. So if you're looking for the perfect solution to your storage problems, here’s why bespoke shelving which fits perfectly could be the answer.

Opening up the space

The key to creating the perfect home office is to make the work space motivating without being distracting, and ensuring that it includes everything that you need in order to do your job properly.

Here we share some home office decor ideas which we hope will help you to design a fantastic workspace within your house to work from home

Get a suitable desk

If you are going to be sitting at a desk all day you need to make sure that it is going to be comfortable and look great too.

Whether you work from home or in an office in a building with colleagues there are often important items that are personal or private that you'd like to ensure that no one else can get access to, or stumble across accidentally.

People often opt for a desk with lockable drawers where they can file away all of their important documents at the end of the day and then take the key with them when they leave. However you may feel that this isn't very secure if there is the possibility that others could be searching for something in your office.

It isn't very often that you find an item of furniture that is both fun and functional. When you have a secret door bookcase installed in your house you can be sure that it won't only be a practical addition to your home, but will be a talking point with your guests too.

Secret door bookcases may seem like the type of feature that you would only find in movies, so you may be surprised to learn that they can actually be built into your home as an alternative option to a regular bookcase.

You might think the walk in wardrobe is reserved for the fashion-loving luxury homeowner, but we’re here to tell you that such a myth is keeping you from your interior design dreams! As you can see from these recent projects, a little foresight combined with some careful and creative planning and our bespoke carpentry expertise, you too can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful fitted walk in wardrobes in your home.
