Deva Lane, Chester, Bespoke Sitting Room / Study
Overlooking the River Dee, this bespoke sitting room was inspired by the houses original Georgian style. It consists of alcove cabinets, panelling, bi-fold shutters and 'secret room' shelving and cabinet storage.
The alcove cabinets were made to have inclosed shelving with a mixture of adjustable and fixed shelves to store folders and books. The bottom of the right hand side was requested as a coffee table height and the left was suitable to fit the office computer inside. Both bottom cabinets had wire cable access.
The wall of panelling was carefully designed to all match the alcoves and shutters by using the same style of beading and plinth. The panelling was made from three different size frames and it incorporated the door to the 'secret room' as well as lighting switch for the room.
The shutters were bi-folded and designed to look like a panelled feature once closed. We used magnets to keep the shutters together and stop light coming through once closed.
'Secret room' consists of enclosed shelves, open cabinets and a floating shelf above the door to maximise space for storage of more books.
The alcove cabinets internals are made from real oak veneer coated with a hard wax oil, to give a great long lasting protection. The rest of the furniture are made from a combination of tulipwood and moisture resistant MDF spray finished to match 'Mylands Onslow 48'.
All carefully designed, made and fitted in-house by Davies and Foster.
Love the shelves and the cabinet at the bottom
