Every home needs a proper bookcase to store and display books in style. When it is bespoke and made to measure, it will enrich a room, add character and be a stunning piece of furniture, far transcending standard shelving.
Cabinetry designed and handcrafted to your specification
A bookcase designed and handcrafted by Claude Clémaron can be in any style. An elegant art deco two-sided bookcase perhaps. Traditional painted bookcase with authentic period features? Or a dark, dramatic Gothic style with beguiling features such as secret hidden doors? The only limit is your imagination.
A bespoke bookcase is a brilliant way of utilising an underused spot or dead wall space, whether that’s an alcove, corner or around a doorway. The appeal of a built-in bookcase and bookshelves is that they can be designed to fit the proportions of the space.
If your property is blessed with high ceilings, a tall built-in bookcase will have an imposing elegance and give the room’s height a purpose. If you don’t want your bookcase to dominate the room, a painted finish to match the walls will make shelves blend seamlessly into a living room and create a cohesive look.
A modern or traditional bespoke bookcase
Whether you favour a sleek modern design or a hand-painted period-style cabinet, the layout of the shelving can be tailored and arranged to house your collection perfectly too. Whether that is strong, fixed shelves for heavy, oversized art books or small-scale cubby holes for paperbacks. And a bookcase needn’t simply be for books, it could be the perfect platform to display your vinyl or other collections.
Claude Clémaron custom-made bookcases and cabinets are handcrafted in Horsham, Sussex, by some of the country’s finest cabinetmakers, for clients in Surrey, Sussex, London and Hampshire.
