Whether you live in a newly built house or a period property, chances are there’s an awkward corner perfect for alcove shelving in one or more of the rooms. It could be a recess that’s too small for a cupboard or a feature that may have been useful when the house was first built. Where there’s a recess or quirky space, there’s an opportunity to do something transformational that can bring your whole room to life.
Inspired Understairs Study Shelving
Living Area
If you have alcoves in your living area, they can be useful additions to your space. Many homes have recesses at either side of the chimney breast in lounges and dining rooms that can be put to good use. These spaces are perfect for bespoke alcove shelving that’s exclusively crafted for a specific purpose; for example, a handcrafted media unit. You can choose to have your TV on display or hide it behind bespoke Levigo sliding doors, individually made to fit the exact measurements of your alcove.
Library Alcove Shelving
Hallways, Lounges and Bedrooms
We have designed bespoke alcove shelving that’s made to fit the most oddly shaped recesses and to sit seamlessly against rough and rustic wall finishes. If you have a home with interesting architectural features, they can be the perfect places for showcasing prized possessions and beautiful objects, from lamps and vases to books and pictures. If your alcove has a window or view, consider choosing a bench with baskets or drawers beneath so your nook becomes both seating and storage.
Hidden Office
As more and more of us choose to work from home, turning an unwanted alcove into a handy little office space is a great idea. It keeps the rest of your home free for family and leisure, giving you a clearly defined workspace that you can hide away when not in use. With our bespoke home office furniture, specially built alcove shelving for your office peripherals could also add value to your home.
Contemporary Open Plan Lounge
Showcase Shelving
Why have a blank space when you can have colour and life? If you have an alcove in a prominent place in your home, you could turn it into a talking point with bespoke alcove shelving with backboards and integrated lighting. Display your favourite piece, whether it’s a sculpture or a fresh floral arrangement. Showcasing your possessions inside a recess means that they’ll be protected too.
Hidden Home Bar
Imagine having your own personalised bar in your home? You could create it in your office, family area or even a corner of a sizeable hallway. It won’t have to be on display either. It can be a wonderful surprise for family and guests with discreet alcove shelving for your glasses and drinks. Mirrored back panels and strip lighting can also be used– all concealed within bespoke cabinetry. Ideal for unwinding at the end of the working day.

A real easy process, I would really recommend Neville Johnson to anyone. From the first phone call through to a very skilled fitter (who had to go above and beyond with our old house not having one straight line in it) it was all so easy. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to use Neville Johnson.
Richard Smith, Surrey
Our new staircase looks fantastic. We’ve had lots of compliments and it has transformed our hallway. The whole experience was great from beginning to end, from discussing our requirements to the finished article.
Mr & Mrs Begbie, Hampshire
From the initial contact with the company to the completion and installation everything was utterly professional; we have no hesitation in recommending the company to anybody. We are so pleased, that Neville Johnson is returning to install a new staircase!
Mr and Mrs Thorpe, Radcliffe
I cannot recommend this company enough. From first contact we received very high quality service. We were informed as to everything that was going on, which was backed up by the necessary paperwork, plans and phone calls. The fitter was competent and the work he did we can’t fault.
Mrs K Holroyd, Wrexham
The room is transformed and has been hugely admired by family and friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and courteous client care – everything went according to plan and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were in regular contact before and after the installation. I would highly recommend Neville Johnson to anyone wanting to transform a room.
Cherry Murdoch, London
From the initial meeting with the senior designer to discuss our needs, to the surveyor and then the installer, we were extremely delighted with the end result. The installation process went without any problems. All the staff were very professional and we would recommend Neville Johnson without hesitation.
Rosalind Tunnicliffe, Solihull
From our initial enquiry to the completion of our staircase, we have found all the members of the team at Neville Johnson to be very helpful, courteous and professional in all our dealings. The staircase has transformed our living space. We have been very impressed with this company from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Pauline Treston, Northumberland
From contacting the company to the point where the cupboards were fitted I was impressed by the whole process. The initial salesperson that visited was knowledgeable and helpful. I would certainly use Neville Johnson again and highly recommend this company.
Mrs S. D, Lincolnshire
From the moment the brochure was delivered, I was optimistic that we were buying quality. I wasn’t disappointed. All contact made was courteous, polite and clear, with phone calls confirmed by email. In short, we’re really thrilled with our library and it was effortless from start to finish.
Alison Cole, Swinton
From the outset of our contract with Neville Johnson, we were supported with design choices, given expert advice and all deadlines were met. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship is superb; our staircase is now an outstanding feature of our open plan lounge.
