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.

Here at Solid Carpentry, it’s not just about building bespoke furniture and storage solutions, we also offer a wide range of property maintenance services as well. These services are extended to all clients, though are most beneficial for those in the commercial space or those looking to renovate a property to add value.

If you have a commercial building such as an office, shop or a property that you rent out, or you simply want to transform the look and functionality of your home or business, check out our full range of maintenance services below. 

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.

Make your space more functional with built-in storage solutions

What is the first thing people see when they come to your home? Your front door of course. So why not make a good impression! We recently finished a front door project, which we’re going to share with you below.

If you're considering updating any of your interior or exterior doors, whether that’s due to damage, because you want more security or because you're renovating and redecorating - hopefully this will inspire you to take the leap.
