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.

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 for example).

The key to creating the perfect home office is to make the 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.

Get a suitable desk

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, but 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, but 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.

A bespoke floating shelving unit is undoubtedly one of the best ways to take advantage of a free wall as you can gain additional storage space and refine the overall look of your room.  This shelving installation demonstrates exactly how a well-crafted, expertly installed unit can transform the appearance of a simple living space.

As you can see from one of our recently completed projects - a beautifully constructed made-to-measure storage unit - a combination of skilful design and imaginative thinking can lead to children’s bedroom furniture that offers valuable storage space and the potential for plenty of fun touches.

If you are looking for new storage furniture for your bedroom, a wardrobe is likely to be one of your top priorities. A bespoke fitted wardrobe is the perfect option for you if you want a piece that is tailored to your needs, at the space that you have available.

Particularly ideal if you have an awkward area, such as a uniquely shaped alcove, a bespoke wardrobe can be made to suit whichever shape and size you need, ensuring that you make the most out of the area, and don’t end up wasting valuable storage space.

This custom-built fitted wardrobe, designed and constructed by our highly skilled Solid Carpentry craftsmen, showcases all the benefits of opting for bespoke fitted furniture to truly transform your space and home.
