Painted panelled media wall with moulded floating drawer unit and warm LED lighting, paired with a solid oak alcove bookcase — all within a period Victorian living room.
A complete living room joinery commission in a period Victorian property — two bespoke pieces designed to work as one unified scheme. To the right of the original cast iron fireplace: a painted panelled media wall with traditional Georgian moulding, floating moulded drawer unit and warm under-LED lighting. To the left: a floor-to-ceiling alcove bookcase with painted surround, solid oak shelving and concealed LED cove. The original period fireplace and wood-burning stove sit between them, perfectly preserved as the room's anchor.
The media wall occupies the full alcove space adjacent to the bay window — painted in soft grey to complement the room's period character. Traditional Georgian moulding frames the television panel above, while the floating drawer unit below carries the same moulded profile through to its drawer fronts.
Three push-to-open drawers, no visible handles, the finish unbroken across the front face. Warm LED strip lighting beneath the unit lifts it visually from the floor and adds depth to the scheme after dark. The LED cove at ceiling height throughout the room ties both pieces together into a single composition.
The chimney breast alcove opposite has been fitted with a floor-to-ceiling bookcase — painted grey surround matching the media wall exactly, with solid oak shelves inside that contrast warmly against the cooler frame. A concealed LED strip at the top of the alcove washes warm light down the full depth of the shelving.
It is a simple, honest piece of joinery — no drama, no complexity — but the quality of the timber, the precision of the shelf fitting and the warmth of the light give the piece everything it needs. The original period fireplace sits between this and the media wall, the three elements reading as a considered whole.
