BESPOKE CLASSIC FITTED LIBRARY IN OAK
This bespoke classic fitted library in oak was designed for our client’s residence in Guildford, Surrey. The bookcases have been handcrafted in sustainable solid oak and real oak veneer then carefully stained in a custom medium oak shade. This achieves a uniform tone, while maintaining the distinctive character of the woodgrain. A water-based clear satin finish was applied for durability and further enhancement of the oak wood. The perfectly proportioned cabinets with matching wall panelling create a welcoming, comfortable room of timeless quality and the perfect place for reading, studying, and reflection.
Bespoke bookshelves and storage
The floor-to-ceiling built-in open bookshelves and cabinets were customised to our client’s wishes and include features such as a solid oak cornice and skirting and integrated lighting, cleverly concealed behind the vertical fluted pilasters. The distinctive dark grey green colour in the internal apertures of the open bookshelves is Farrow and Ball’s Card Room Green, a shade much-favoured for study rooms in the Victorian era.
Traditional oak panelling
Oak panelling and the matching solid oak dado rail were made to measure for this home library and feature the same raised moulding as the cabinet doors. Antique bronze doorknobs with a turned style provide an attractive finishing touch.
Being a high-end interior that is classic in style, we cleverly integrated wiring and power points so they don’t detract from the traditional look.
