What is an alcove unit?

Alcove units can refer to shelving systems, alcove bookcases, alcove cabinets, floating shelves, alcove cupboards and other fitted furniture. Depending on the amount of space available, it could be a combination of all three, but the structure is designed to fit within the recess. An individually designed alcove unit is undoubtedly one of the best ways to maximise on your living or working space, offering additional storage space and an opportunity to transform the appearance of your room.
