Walnut Library Alcoves

Walnut-lined library alcoves combine open book display with discreet painted storage below.

Illustrated design concept. Final details are agreed with your project.

The library alcoves are designed as a pair, giving the room a balanced architectural frame. Walnut shelves bring warmth to books and collected objects, while painted lower cabinets provide closed storage for less visible items. Shelf spacing can be adjusted to the collection, and the final proportions respond to the existing wall openings rather than a standard unit width.
