Custom Floating shelving & Alcove cupboard with Sliding Doors

At Kennedy Maintenance, we recently completed a bespoke alcove cupboard project in New Malden, Kingston. The client wanted a custom cupboard to fit neatly into the alcove beside their chimney, but they faced a common challenge—space. Since they planned to place a chair in front of the cupboard, conventional hinge doors weren’t ideal. Hinge doors would require the chair to be moved every time they needed access, making them impractical for the client’s needs.

Our solution? Sliding doors. Sliding doors not only saved space but also provided a sleek, modern look that complemented the room’s design. They allowed the client to maintain easy access to the cupboard without sacrificing the placement of their furniture.

When opting for sliding doors in a bespoke furniture project like this, one crucial factor to consider is the type of handle used. If the handle sits too prominently, it can restrict how far the door can slide open. To avoid this issue, we installed flush pull handles. These handles sit level with the door surface, ensuring smooth operation and full functionality without taking up additional space.

This project highlights the importance of thoughtful design and customisation when it comes to maximising space in your home. At Kennedy Maintenance, we pride ourselves on providing practical, stylish solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
