We appreciate that every project is different, so whether you’re looking for custom floating shelves, custom bookshelves or anything in between - our furniture makers can help.
Awkward alcoves, low ceilings, chimney breasts and odd corners are all common problems in period and modern homes alike, and standard shelving units often just don't stretch to fit them. That's where our bespoke furniture makers come in. At Holtom Woods, we design and install custom shelving units that are measured, built and fitted around your exact space, giving you a shelving unit, custom-made from the ground up, that looks intentional rather than squeezed in.
As specialists in bespoke home furniture, we bring the same attention to detail to a single floating shelf as we do to a full room of fitted storage. We appreciate that every project is different, so whether you’re looking for custom floating shelves, custom bookshelves or anything in between - our furniture makers can help.
No two homes are built the same, so no two shelving projects should look the same either. We create custom-size shelves for living rooms, home offices, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms, working around radiators, sockets, coving and anything else that a standard shelf unit simply can't accommodate.
From a single run of custom size shelves for your bespoke home office to a full wall of custom shelving units either side of a fireplace, we'll design a layout that suits how you actually use the room. Popular requests for our bespoke furniture makers include:
Floating shelves custom-built for your walls give you clean, minimal storage without visible brackets or fixings. Because every floating shelf is made to measure, we can match the thickness, finish and length to suit the room, rather than working within the limits of a pre-cut shelf unit from a shop. It's a small detail that makes a noticeable difference to how finished a room feels, and it's one of our most requested custom shelving unit options.
Book collections rarely fit tidily onto ready-made shelving, especially when you're trying to work around an existing chimney breast, low ceiling or sloped wall. This type of bespoke home furniture project is designed to make the most of every inch, with shelf spacing planned around the height of your books rather than a generic, one-size-fits-all layout.
From a single reading nook to a full library wall, our bespoke furniture makers combine practical, custom book shelving layouts with a finish that suits the rest of your home.
Made to measure, every time. Every custom shelving unit we install is measured on site and built specifically for that space, so there are no gaps, no overhangs and no compromises.
Real joinery, not flat-pack. As experienced bespoke furniture makers, we use traditional joinery techniques and carefully selected materials, so your shelf unit is built to last rather than built to a price point.
