Bespoke Living Cabinetry
Client Requirements
In today’s world, where technology powers nearly every corner of our lives, there’s no shortage of devices to manage in our homes. Alarm boxes, Wi-Fi routers, and other tech essentials are necessary but often disrupt the clean, modern aesthetic many homeowners crave. Recently, we were tasked with designing a custom piece of cabinetry that blends seamlessly into the client’s contemporary interior while discreetly concealing these devices.
The Client’s Vision
The client wanted a solution that was both functional and beautiful. Their primary goals were:
To hide unsightly alarm boxes and Wi-Fi routers.
Achieve a clean, built-in look that complements their contemporary décor.
Maintain easy access to the devices when needed.
Match the cabinetry’s colour perfectly to their walls for a cohesive aesthetic.
The Design Process
We began with a careful assessment of the client’s space and specific needs. The cabinetry was to be installed in a high-visibility area, making it essential to prioritize minimalist styling. To achieve this, we opted for:
Push-to-Open Doors: These eliminate the need for visible hardware, ensuring the cabinet’s exterior remains smooth and streamlined.
Ventilation Considerations: Since devices like routers generate heat, we incorporated discreet venting into the design to ensure optimal airflow.
Cable Management: Strategically placed openings inside the cabinet allow cables to remain organized and hidden from view.
A Perfect Colour Match
One of the standout features of this project was the cabinetry’s paint finish. The client provided a specific colour reference to match their walls precisely. We worked closely with a trusted paint specialist to achieve this, ensuring the cabinetry blended seamlessly into the room’s existing palette. This attention to detail elevated the piece from practical storage to an integrated part of the room’s design.
Execution and Installation
Our team crafted the cabinetry using high-quality materials to ensure durability and a premium finish. The push-to-open mechanism was meticulously installed and tested for effortless functionality. Once completed, the cabinetry was mounted flush against the wall, enhancing the built-in appearance. The final result was a sleek and modern piece that concealed the necessary devices while maintaining the clean styling the client desired.
The Final Outcome
The client was thrilled with the result. By combining thoughtful design, precision craftsmanship, and a commitment to detail, we created a solution that married practicality with aesthetics. This project showcases how custom cabinetry can solve everyday challenges while enhancing the overall look of a space.
