Bespoke Alcove Cabinets, Built to Fit Your Recess

Alcoves are rarely a standard size, which makes them one of the trickiest spaces in the home to furnish off the shelf. At Mister Micawber's Cottage Doors, we manufacture bespoke alcove cabinets and alcove cupboard doors built to your exact measurements, so you can turn an awkward recess into practical, good-looking storage.

Our alcove cabinets are crafted in solid pine, sourced from managed forests, and built to the same exacting standard we've maintained for over three decades. Whether you need a single replacement door for an existing alcove cupboard or a complete new cabinet either side of a chimney breast, we build to your requirements.

Why Choose Bespoke Alcove Cupboards

Off-the-shelf furniture is built to standard widths and heights, which rarely suits the recess either side of a fireplace or within an existing wall. Bespoke alcove cupboards let you:

  1. Make full use of the space. No gaps at the sides or wasted height above, since every cabinet is built to your exact dimensions.
  2. Match existing cupboards. If you already have alcove cabinets on one side of the room, we can build to match so the pair looks like it was always meant to be there.
  3. Replace a single door. If your alcove cupboard doors have swollen, warped or simply dated, we can make a replacement without touching the rest of the unit.
  4. Create a completely new storage solution. From a single cupboard to a full pair either side of a chimney breast, we build the whole piece to your design.

Alcove Cupboard Door Styles

We manufacture alcove cupboard doors in a range of styles to suit both traditional and contemporary rooms, including:

All doors and cabinets are supplied sanded and ready to paint or stain, or finished in an antique pine stain with a wax polish for instant character. Whether you're fitting a period cottage living room or a modern build, we'll help you find a style that suits.

Made to Measure, Built for Your Space

Because no two alcoves are quite the same, we don't work from a standard size range. Every alcove cabinet and cupboard door is built to the measurements you provide, which is why it's important to be as specific as possible when you enquire, including the width, height and depth of your recess.

Our cabinets are supplied as easy-to-install flat pack units, so once your alcove cupboards arrive, fitting them into your recess is straightforward. We also manufacture matching drawer fronts, so you can bring cupboards, shelving and drawers together in one consistent style.
