If you’re looking to add both style and functionality to your living spaces, we’ve got you. At Corbett Carpentry create bespoke built-in bookcases that do more than just hold your favourite reads. Whether you want a statement piece or just something to improve storage or display options, we can help. Our expert Berkshire-based team will design the perfect shelves to suit your home’s aesthetics and practical needs.
Designs that reflect your style
We can design and build your bookcases according to the style you prefer. Do you like the clean lines and flush finish of the sleek, contemporary look of modern minimalism? Is it that classic Shaker charm with decorative skirting and cornices you’re after? Or maybe you have a unique personal style that draws from both modern and classic elements? Whatever your preferences, we can reflect them in our designs.
Transforming awkward spaces with alcove and feature bookcases
Designed precisely to your room’s measurements, alcove shelves will neatly utilise those annoying corners. Your fitted bookcase will increase your storage options while blending harmoniously with your existing decor. Glass doors, open shelves, and other custom features can help create a design that’s both versatile and eye-catching.
Crafted for durability
We know that bookcases aren’t just for display. Many homeowners need sturdy shelves capable of holding everything from hardback novels to precious family mementos. That’s why we use only high-quality materials, ensuring your shelves stand up to daily use for years to come.
Add value to your home today
Done properly, custom-made, built-in bookcases can inject warmth, character, and functionality into your rooms. They will often add something to the perceived value of your property. Whether it’s statement shelves in your living room or bedroom, or a full library wall in your home office, we approach each project with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail.
