Closed below, open above
The standard SAV alcove cabinet runs full-width of the recess, with a flat or shaker door on the lower carcass and open shelving above. Shelves usually align with the chimney-breast mantel or the picture rail, so the proportions match the room.
- Shaker or flush door style to match the rest of the room
- Adjustable shelves above, finished to wall colour or contrast
- LED strip lighting under each shelf
- Scribed to skirting and picture rail for a seamless line
Frequently asked questions
- Can I have full-height alcove cupboards instead of shelves above?
- Yes — full-height closed cupboards are popular in bedrooms; open shelving above is more common in living rooms.
- Will the doors close flush with the chimney breast?
- Yes — we trim the carcass to match the breast face exactly, so the doors sit in line.
