Alcove Cabinetry

Residential Dining Room

SHEFFIELD

Dining room with a white table and six cream-colored chairs. On the table is a glass candle holder with a large candle and two decorative candlesticks. Behind the table, there's a window with wooden trim and a narrow ledge with decorative items. Two built-in shelves with backlighting display various decorative objects, including vases and sculptures. The room has a tiled floor, a chimney with a stone interior, and a ceiling with exposed dark wooden beams.

The Brief

At MARSH & CO, we transform architectural niches into refined gallery spaces. For this project, we designed twin bespoke alcove units that frame the room’s original stone hearth, blending heritage charm with contemporary luxury.

The cabinetry features a soft stone-grey finish and integrated ambient LED lighting, designed to showcase the client’s unique collection of artifacts and fossils. This warm illumination creates a striking "glow" effect, adding depth and a sophisticated evening atmosphere to the room.

By pairing hand-finished Shaker-style storage with clean, minimalist lines, we’ve created a functional yet inspirational focal point that perfectly complements the room’s rustic timber beams and modern porcelain flooring.
