Custom Shelving Options We Offer
Kitchen Shelves That Transform Your Space
The kitchen is one of the most popular spots for custom shelving, and it's easy to see why. The right kitchen shelves can give you:
- More space for cooking essentials
- A place to display your nice plates or glasses
- Easy access to things you use everyday
- A more open, airy feel in smaller kitchens
We can create:
Open Shelving Kitchen Solutions
Open shelving in your kitchen creates an airy, modern look. It's perfect for showing off your best dishes and keeping frequently used items within easy reach. Our kitchen fitters can help you work out the right height and spacing between shelves for a balanced look.
Floating Shelves Kitchen Installation
Floating shelves give a clean, minimal look with no visible brackets. Our team knows all the tricks to installing floating shelves so they stay securely attached to your wall and can hold proper weight. Whether you want them around your cooker for spices, or above your sink for glasses, we make sure they're installed safely.
Wooden Kitchen Shelves
There's something warm and welcoming about wooden kitchen shelves. We source quality woods that can handle kitchen humidity and work with you to choose the right finish that matches your cabinet colour or worktops. From rustic oak to painted finishes, we'll craft wooden kitchen shelves that bring natural beauty to your space.
Kitchen Wall Shelves
Make the most of unused wall space with carefully placed kitchen wall shelves. We'll help you pick spots that don't interfere with cabinets or appliances while giving you the most useful storage. Our joiner in Derby can even create corner shelf solutions that make use of those tricky kitchen corners.
Kitchen Display Shelves
Show off your cookbook collection, fancy glassware, or family photos with specially designed display shelves. We can add lighting options to highlight your display items and create a warm glow in your kitchen.
Kitchen Shelf Brackets
If you prefer the look of visible brackets, we offer a range of kitchen shelf brackets from simple and modern to decorative options that become a feature themselves. We'll help you choose brackets that complement your kitchen style and provide the right support.
Custom Storage Shelves For Every Room
Our shelving solutions go beyond the kitchen. We create custom storage shelves for:
Living Rooms
Custom shelving in your living room can create a stunning feature wall, a place for your TV, or just somewhere nice to display books and photos. We can build shelves around awkward features like fireplaces or in alcoves to maximise your space.
Home Offices
Keep your workspace tidy with shelving that holds books, files, and equipment. We can create desk-height shelves that give you extra workspace or wall-mounted options that keep your floor clear.
Bedrooms
From simple bedside shelves to full wall storage systems, we help make your bedroom both practical and peaceful. Our bespoke bedroom shelving can work around sloping ceilings or odd corners.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms often lack storage, but our waterproof shelving solutions can solve that problem while adding style. We use materials that can handle the damp conditions without warping or damage.

Installing Floating Shelves: Our Special Technique
Many people want floating shelves in their kitchen or home, but worry they won't be strong enough. Our team has mastered the art of installing floating shelves that look amazing but can still hold plenty of weight.
The trick is in the hidden bracket system we use and making sure it's properly secured to the wall structure. Our joiners know how to find the wall studs or use the right wall anchors for your particular wall type.
Custom Shelf Depth: Getting It Just Right
One of the benefits of custom shelving is getting the perfect shelf depth for what you'll store. Too shallow and things fall off, too deep and you waste space or create dark spots. We'll help you work out:
- The right depth for books (usually about 8-9 inches)
- Perfect shelf depth for displaying plates (around 6-7 inches)
- Ideal depths for kitchen items like cups and appliances
- Special requirements for corner shelves to maximise access
Custom Pantry Shelving That Maximises Storage
If you've got a pantry or are thinking of creating one, our custom pantry shelving can transform it into an organised dream. We'll help you:
- Work out the best shelf spacing for your food items
- Add features like spice racks or wine storage
- Create adjustable shelving that can change as your needs do
- Use every inch of space, including the back of doors

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Shelving
How Much Weight Can Custom Shelves Hold?
This depends on the type of shelf, the wall it's mounted to, and the fixtures used. Our properly installed solid wood floating shelves can typically hold between 15-35 kg per shelf, while shelving with visible brackets can often hold more. During our consultation, we'll talk about what you plan to store so we can make sure your shelves are strong enough.
How Long Does Custom Shelf Installation Take?
Most standard shelving projects take between 2-4 hours to complete, depending on how many shelves you're having and the complexity of the installation. A full wall of bespoke shelving might take a day or two. We'll give you a time estimate when we quote.
What's The Difference Between Custom and Off-the-Shelf Shelving?
Shop-bought shelves often only come in standard sizes and depths, which might not fit your space perfectly or hold what you need. Custom shelving is built exactly to your measurements, can fit around obstacles like pipes or switches, and can be made in finishes that match your existing furniture.
Do You Need Special Tools to Install Shelves?
Yes, and we bring all the tools needed for your shelving project. For proper installation, we use spirit levels, stud finders, drills with various bits, screwdrivers, saws, and sometimes specialized equipment for finding pipes and wires in walls.
What Materials Are Best For Kitchen Shelves?
In kitchens, we recommend materials that can handle moisture and are easy to clean. Solid hardwoods like oak, walnut, or maple work well with the right finish. For a more budget-friendly option, high-quality MDF with a proper water-resistant paint finish can also be excellent for kitchen shelves.
