This bespoke, modern floor to ceiling media entertainment unit, was commissioned by a client in Bromley, Kent and features made to
measure cupboards, drawers, TV cavity and open shelving. The fully fitted, custom-built cabinets and shelving unit maximise and streamline the space and act as a focal point in the room. The design has been tailored to accommodate all the household’s entertainment needs with a mix of display niches and closed storage to keep clutter and cables out of sight. The result is a seamless, integrated media unit that makes our client’s living room highly functional and attractive.

Contemporary style, traditional construction

The handcrafted cabinetry features flat-faced streamline doors and drawer fronts. Flat-faced cupboard doors, often called slab doors or flat panel doors, are single-surface doors with no frames, bevels, or detailing for a clean, minimalist look. The doors are fitted with concealed soft closing hinges and drawers are mounted on fully extending concealed soft closing drawer slides.

The solidly fixed, square-edged, thick engineered shelves and uprights with a 42mm visual front edge have exceptional strength, stability and a bold, chunky, consistent aesthetic.

Beautifully finished for a high-end look

The cabinets feature knurled pull handles and knobs with a dark brushed brass finish. The textured pattern of knurled hardware has a tactile feel and provides a superior grip while hiding fingerprints. Knurled knobs and handles like these here work well with modern cabinets, flat-panel doors and slab drawers and create a high-end, detailed appearance.

The entire media unit has been flawlessly finished in an eco-friendly, water-based, handcrafted paint from Farrow & Ball in Dimity No. 2008, a very pale taupe that is a sophisticated, warm neutral. The surface has a beautiful, wipeable matt finish that is exceptionally durable. This pale taupe colour creates a ‘quiet luxury’ look without the harshness of pure white. While stark white can often feel cold or clinical, this very light taupe is inherently warmer and more comforting, making the living room feel instantly settled and inviting.
