Alcove Cabinetry: A Beautiful Addition To Any Georgian Living Room

Being the custodian of a Georgian property is an incredibly fortunate position to find yourself in, indeed! These homes are so stunning in their Classical simplicity – and, no doubt, you will want to stay true to the authenticity of the style, both in and outside your home, when considering renovations.

With such beautiful period details to bring to the fore, why would you go down any other route? The key to getting the look right is to focus on elegant restraint – and this certainly isn’t to say that your homes will be boring. 

Quite the opposite, in fact, and if you get the balance between modesty and grandeur right, you’ll have a fascinating home to live in and enjoy, one that encompasses both historical perspective and contemporary lifestyles seamlessly.

For your living room, one of the most used (and well loved) parts of the house, a big consideration will naturally be storage. Because people come here to congregate, the room can quickly become overwhelmed, cluttered and messy, which can certainly detract from the look and feel of the space.

But you can get around this modern-day problem while championing the Georgian elegance of your home by having unique alcove cabinets purpose-built to fit the spaces on either side of your fireplace.

Proportion and symmetry are two of the main guiding forces of Georgian architecture and design, so having matching pieces of furniture, complete with fine joinery details, embellishments and plaster shapes throughout the room set to bring it all together, will ensure that you get the look just right.

Of course, it’s a lot easier said than done, especially if you’ve never embarked on a significant home improvement project before, so if you need any help or advice, get in touch with the Bath Bespoke team today to see how we can help.
