Alcove Units in Jersey, Shelving & Cupboards
Made-to-measure alcove cupboards, shelving and bookcases that turn the space beside your chimney breast into beautiful, practical storage. Designed, built and spray finished in our Jersey workshop.
Alcove Cupboards and Shelving Made for Your Exact Space
Alcoves are rarely square. Walls lean, skirting boards and picture rails get in the way and no two sides of a chimney breast are quite the same. That is why off-the-shelf units never look right. We measure each alcove precisely, then build cupboards and shelving that are scribed to the walls for a perfect, built-in fit.
Choose closed cupboards for clutter, open shelves for books and display, or a mix of both. We can add LED lighting, a desk, a window seat or a drinks cabinet, and spray finish everything to match your room.
- Scribed to uneven walls and period details
- Cupboards, shelving or a mix of both
- Optional LED lighting and desk space
- Hand spray finished in any colour

How Much Do Alcove Units Cost in Jersey?
Alcove units are one of the most affordable ways to add bespoke joinery to your home. The price depends on:
- Number and size of alcoves: one alcove or a pair either side of the chimney breast.
- Cupboards vs shelving: cupboards with doors take more work than open shelves.
- Height: low units with a worktop, or full-height cupboards and bookcases.
- Extras: LED lighting, a desk, a drinks cabinet or a window seat.
- Finish: a spray painted finish, solid oak or a timber veneer.
Alcove shelving and cupboard ideas
For living rooms, low cupboards with open shelves above balance storage and display. In bedrooms and home offices, full-height cupboards or a built-in desk make the most of the space. We will help you choose the right layout during your free design visit.

Alcove Units Jersey: Your Questions Answered
What are alcove units?
Alcove units are cupboards, shelving or bookcases built into the recesses either side of a chimney breast. Because they are made to measure, they make use of space that freestanding furniture can’t.
Can you build alcove units in a period home?
Yes. Period homes often have uneven walls, picture rails and deep skirting. We scribe every unit to the walls so it sits perfectly, with no gaps.
Can you add lighting to alcove shelving?
Yes. LED lighting under or within the shelves is a popular choice. We plan it at design stage so cables are hidden and the light is even.
How long do alcove units take to fit?
Because the units are built and spray finished in our workshop first, fitting is quick and tidy. We will confirm the timeline when we quote.
Do you cover all of Jersey?
Yes. We design and fit alcove units across the whole island, in every parish.
Is the design visit and quote free?
Yes. Your first home visit, measure and quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
