Types of Joinery

Living & entertainment spaces

Joinery often carries the weight of the main living space – it frames views, hides technology and provides storage without dominating. These are the pieces we most often deliver in living rooms, open-plan spaces and quieter snug rooms.

• Media Walls & TV Joinery – Bespoke media walls that integrate screens, storage, display and AV equipment into one composed elevation.
• Home Cinemas & Screening Rooms – Full cinema rooms and small screening spaces, including stepped platforms, wall panelling and AV integration.
• Libraries & Bookcase Joinery – Library walls, bookcases and shelving for studies, reading rooms and living spaces, with options for ladders and concealed storage.
• Home Offices & Study Joinery – Built-in desks, storage, shelving and AV for dedicated studies or integrated workspaces within other rooms.

Bedrooms & storage

In bedrooms and quieter private spaces, joinery has to work hard while still feeling calm. We design fitted pieces that make daily routines feel effortless.

• Wardrobes & Dressing Rooms – Full-height wardrobes, internal layouts and complete dressing rooms tailored to each project.
• Headboards & Bedroom Feature Joinery – Integrated headboards, bedside tables, lighting and small storage for guest rooms and private suites.
• Fitted Storage & Alcove Units – Bespoke storage for alcoves, under-stair spaces and awkward corners that deserve better than off-the-shelf solutions.

Kitchens, bars & social spaces

These pieces support the social heart of a project – where people cook, eat and gather. They often demand careful integration with services, stonework and lighting.

• Bespoke Kitchens & Pantries – Designer-led kitchens, islands and pantries that sit as part of a wider interior scheme rather than a standalone retail product.
• Home Bars & Back Bars – Bar units for private homes and apartments, from discreet cocktail cabinets to more expressive feature bars.
• Hospitality Bars & Back Counters – Front-of-house bars, waiter stations and back counters for hotels, restaurants and members’ clubs.
• Tea Points & Breakout Kitchenettes – Compact kitchenettes and tea points for workplace and amenity spaces, coordinated with surrounding joinery.

Hotel guestroom & hospitality packages

In hospitality projects, joinery is often delivered as a coordinated package so that every room or guest experience feels consistent.

• Hotel Guestroom Joinery – Headboards, wardrobes, desks, minibars, luggage benches and TV walls designed as one coherent set for guestrooms and suites.
• Reception Desks & Lobby Joinery – Front desks, concierge points, feature walls and integrated storage for arrival spaces.
• Amenity & Members’ Club Joinery – Joinery for lounges, club rooms, co-working spaces and amenity floors where people socialise and work.
• Spa & Wellness Joinery – Lockers, vanities, treatment room storage and relaxation space joinery designed for humid, high-use environments.
• Locker Rooms & Back-of-House Joinery – Staff changing areas, housekeeping stores and operational joinery that keeps buildings running smoothly.

Architectural joinery & room structure

These elements are closer to the bones of the building. They define thresholds, proportions and the way rooms flow into one another.

• Wall Panelling & Architectural Joinery – Panelling, dados, pilasters and integrated shelving that give rooms rhythm and depth.
• Internal Doors & Screens – Doors, pocket doors and glazed or timber screens that divide space while keeping sightlines and light levels in mind.
• Staircase Joinery – Timber staircases, handrails and balustrade details, where appropriate for the project.

Utility, service & outdoor joinery

Often the most heavily used pieces of joinery are the ones behind the scenes. We design these with the same care as the more visible elements.

• Utility, Laundry & Boot Room Joinery – Storage, benches, drying space and integrated appliances for utility rooms, boot rooms and secondary entrances.
• Outdoor & Terrace Joinery – External benches, planters, outdoor kitchens and storage designed to weather well over time.

How to use this page in a project

Most projects combine several of these joinery types. A hotel scheme might include Hotel Guestroom Joinery, Reception Desks & Lobby Joinery, Amenity & Members’ Club Joinery and Hospitality Bars & Back Counters. A private home may mix Wardrobes & Dressing Rooms, Media Walls & TV Joinery, Bespoke Kitchens & Pantries and Outdoor & Terrace Joinery.
