Bespoke Alcove Cabinets: Stylish, Space-Saving Storage for Character Homes
“This pair of bespoke alcove cabinets, handcrafted by Benchtop Cabinetry & Joinery, perfectly frames a central fireplace in this Warwickshire home. Featuring shaker-style doors, integrated log storage, and clean open shelving, the units are spray-finished in a durable paint for a seamless, built-in look — ideal for stylish living room storage in period and rural properties.”
At Benchtop Cabinetry & Joinery, we specialise in crafting beautiful, functional bespoke alcove cabinets for homes across Solihull, Stratford-upon-Avon, and the wider West Midlands. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace or a countryside barn conversion, alcove units are a timeless way to add storage, style, and value to your living space.
Why Alcove Cabinets?
Many older homes have unused alcoves on either side of a fireplace or chimney breast. These spaces can be awkward to furnish but offer the perfect opportunity for fitted storage. Our custom alcove units are tailor-made to suit the exact dimensions and character of your home — no wasted space, no compromises.
Tailored to You
“In this Solihull home, we designed and built a complete chimney breast to house a media unit, transforming a previously flat wall into a striking focal point. Flanked by bespoke alcove cabinets with shaker doors, integrated LED lighting, and a smooth spray-painted finish, this installation by Benchtop Cabinetry & Joinery blends traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality — ideal for stylish living room storage and display.”
Each set of alcove cabinets we build is completely bespoke. From traditional shaker-style doors with classic cornicing to modern minimalist designs with push-to-open drawers, we can match your vision and the architectural style of your home. We also offer integrated lighting, floating shelves, and a wide range of spray-finished colours to suit your decor.
Made in Solihull, Built to Last
All our alcove units are designed, built, and finished in our Solihull workshop using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. We handle everything — from initial design consultation to final installation — so you get a seamless experience and long-lasting results.
Smart Storage, Seamless Style
Whether you need media storage, a hidden workstation, or simply a place to hide away the clutter, our bespoke alcove cabinets combine function with aesthetic appeal. We often pair base cabinets with floating or fixed shelving above, allowing for a mix of closed storage and open display space.
