Alcove shelf

6 years ago

How much would it cost to have similar shelves installed in an alcove?
How long would this take?
Is anyone able to recommend a good carpenter that would be able to do this?
Would I need to supply the materials or would the carpenter take the measurements and source the material?

Hi Patrick, you may be interested in our shelving system, it's made to measure so is perfect for alcoves and we can also supply them with lighting already fitted inside. We also can supply only or install, our standard white shelves 255 depth are £48.60/m inc vat. Let us know if you would like us to plan anything out as it's free of charge. Thanks ON&ON

I would remove the scooped headboard that accentuates the alcove. I certainly wouldn't 'hang' a mirror but opt for clean lines. Instead of a headboard I would use lateral tongue & groove up to the light switches above the bed up to the alcove & as far as the end of the bedside cabinets to give the bed a ships cabin feel. A good joiner could also add bedside cupboards to the "headboard" to continue the ships cabin feel. I would continue the lateral tongue & groove into the alcove, all over, which would be higher than the T&G above the bed but keeps it cohesive & makes a real integrated feature of the alcove. I think lateral T&G keeps it contemporary & not seaside twee. I would T&G the whole bed area in this way & keep the rest of the room pretty simple. If you wanted a mirror I would have a glazier cut a porthole mirror in the centre of the alcove surrounded by the tongue & groove. All the T&G in the whole bed area should be painted in the same colour i think so that the alcove becomes part of the whole. It will be a lovely individual feature but for success the alcove has to be integrated , i feel. A few books & a few natural pieces would look great on the bottom ledge of the alcove & would be useful too. You are so lucky to already have bed side lights & I would just change the fittings to a contemporary cabin style light on either side. There are lots around & are usually metal I think.

Any chance you have enough room outside the bath for a barn door? That would open up your floor plan greatly. I just got done installing pocket doors in my bath and office, huge space saver-but a lot of work. The barn door concept wont give you the air tight seal of a door but since ive put mine in, it is hardly ever used lol. If you can do either of those I would seriously consider moving the door closer to the tub and putting your vanity on the wall to the left. You will have a lot more storage, the layout will seem less hectic and if you are doing this for yourself (not planning on moving) you will enjoy it more. My initials used to be AD lol, now I am ADG

I would be inclined to go with a contrast. Either: (a) a deep inky blue; or (b) bring out the rust colour in the rug. Also, consider painting the radiator covers the same colour as the shelves. The colour you have chosen is nice but it can wash out the wall / room. Using contrast to break it up would look stunning. Alternatively, choose a deeper, stronger colour and paint it all the same.
