Floating Shelves

Floating shelves provide a seamless look when you simply have an empty alcove and want to utilise the storage space without fully built out cabinets or units. 

It can also simply be an aesthetic choice as floating shelves can blend smoothly with the rest of the room and they can serve different spaces with different widths.

Testimonials
We got two alcove cabinets built last year. The skill and craftsmanship is amazing. We live in a old victorian property and we already had half a cabinet (lower cupboard) so they needed to match the aesthetic to create the top of the cabinet and create a new one that matched. They went to amazing levels to ensure all the details matched perfectly. They were professional and polite, on time, cleaned up afterwards and were very quick! If we needed more cabinets built we will for sure ask them again. We also got a painter recommendation through them too, who was excellent. I honestly can’t rate them high enough. We have recommended them to a neighbor who also used them. Well worth the money.
Heather Martin
Zephyr did an astonishing good job for us in creating built in furniture in the two large alcoves of our living room. In one alcove the design of the low cupboards, pull out shelves and drawers was complex to accommodate hi fi, games machines, CDs, and other specific items whilst being the right height to put the television on top. In the other alcove we had low cupboards and high book shelves up to the picture rail with decorative surround to match the Victorian detail. The cabinets look beautiful, and the work was done with consummate skill and professionalism by Zephyr. I can't recommend Humphriea Carpentry highly enough.

I used Humphries Cabinetry for box shelves in two alcoves - I called them based on a flyer and was a bit nervous as it was not a company I’d been recommended or heard of before. But every step of the process was flawless - great to get the CAD drawings, and so happy with the shelving now installed. They look great and the company take real care to ensure you are happy with the end product. Would definitely recommend!

Humphries did 2 x alcove units with floating shelves and some wardrobes in our loft space. The quote was turned around quickly and process very clear. The team were very helpful during the design process. The installation was done by one carpenter, Auris who had a great eye for detail - he was able to get a good finish despite some of the awkward angles in our house. The painting also did a great job and gave the units a proper finish. Everyone we dealt with was really friendly and reliable. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend.
