Discover five smart bespoke carpentry solutions, from built‑in wardrobes to under‑stairs drawers that unlock hidden storage in London homes. Book a free consultation today.
Living space in London averages just 62 m² for a two bed flat, every centimetre counts. Off the shelf furniture rarely fits awkward Victorian alcoves or modern micro‑apartments, which is why bespoke carpentry has become essential for storage‑hungry homeowners. At Sada & Platts, our in‑house artisans combine traditional joinery with innovative design concepts, sourcing sustainable hardwoods for every build. Bespoke carpentry is also one of our flagship residential renovation offerings, giving clients a seamless, end‑to‑end experience from 3D concept to flawless installation.
1. Built‑In Wardrobes & Alcove Closets
Why it works:
Floor‑to‑ceiling wardrobes follow the room’s exact footprint, turning dead alcove space into organised storage for clothes, luggage and seasonal items.
Design tips:
– Opt for full‑height push‑to‑open doors to create a minimalist wall plane.
– Integrate LED strip lighting and soft‑close drawers for a luxury feel.
– Use painted MDF carcasses with solid‑oak edging for high durability at a reasonable cost.
S&P advantage: We template each alcove digitally, then CNC‑cut panels for a millimetre‑perfect fit ideal for crooked Victorian walls.
2. Under‑Stairs Storage Drawers & Cupboards
Pro tip: Specify moisture‑resistant MDF if the understairs backs onto an external wall and add a passive vent to avoid musty odours.
Open‑plan flats crave zoning. A double‑sided divider with bookshelves facing the lounge and concealed cabinetry backing the kitchen adds storage and defines space, all while letting natural light flow.
Innovation: Include sliding pocket panels in the centre section to reveal a fold‑down desk perfect for hybrid working.
Every London home has hidden potential. Whether you need a single built‑in wardrobe or a whole‑home storage strategy, Sada & Platts can design, craft and install bespoke carpentry that elevates your space and simplifies your life.
