What we make

Libraries, studies & fine cabinetry

Fitted libraries, studies, media walls and fine cabinetry — one-off room schemes, drawn for the space and made to furniture standard.

MSO Joinery/What we make/Libraries & cabinetry

Fitted cabinetry should look as though the room was built around it — because, drawn properly, it was.

We make libraries, studies, media walls and alcove cabinetry as bespoke room schemes, not off a catalogue. Each is set out for its wall, with real cornices, adjustable shelving and cabinet work to furniture standard.

Brass picture lights, integrated media, concealed storage and a proper desk are drawn in from the start, so the finished room is calm and resolved to the last detail.

Common questions

Libraries & cabinetry
Are your libraries and cabinetry fitted or freestanding?

Fitted. Each library, study or media wall is drawn for its wall and built in, with real cornices and adjustable shelving, to furniture standard.

Can you integrate a television or media into the joinery?

Yes. We frame televisions and media within the cabinetry and styled shelving, with cable management, so the screen sits quietly inside the joinery.

How is the cabinetry finished?

We hand-finish everything — painted, in natural or cerused timber, or a combination — in our workshop and on site.

Where we work
