Are you currently in the midst of renovating or redesigning your home? If so, there are several aspects that you have to consider when it comes to designing your space. For the most part, these will apply to any furniture you're putting in your rooms, although some may also apply to your decor and accessories.

In order to maximise your space and make the most of your home (or even of your office) you must think about the following:

• Space - and making the most of every inch
• Storage - do you have enough for all your belongings?
• Functionality - is your room and furniture practical and easy to use/navigate?
• Organisation - making sure everything has its place and there’s no clutter
• Style - the look and design of your furniture and whether it complements your home and personal tastes

There is one piece of furniture in particular that encompasses all of the above and could therefore be the perfect addition to your home or office - a bespoke alcove bookcase!

Make the most of alcove storage

Alcoves are typically associated with period homes, those with large old fireplaces. But the truth is, any alcove or recess in your home that isn't being used can be transformed into a useful storage solution, such as built-in cupboards or a bookcase. Whether that’s a living room alcove either side of the chimney breast, an unused recess in the study or an awkward space in your dining room.

By choosing bespoke, fitted furniture that is custom made for your home you can transform and reorganise your space with very little effort. For example, floating alcove shelves could be the perfect way to keep your book collection tidy or to display your many family photos.

And having an alcove bookcase made for you doesn't just mean it has to be used for books, it can be used to organise all manner of items or collections, helping you to de-clutter the rest of your home.
