Transforming alcoves into stunning features

After previously using Sharps to create a his and hers dressing room of dreams, Steph knew that Sharps were able to bring her living room vision to life. 

Steph wanted to create a peaceful and decluttered environment for her living space, and Sharps were able to deliver!

The Shaker range in Dove kept to the characteristics of Steph’s home and helped highlight her stunning period features. 

It is the first thing you see when you walk in the room and became a statement piece, as well as creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere for Steph and her husband to come home to and unwind.

Steph's Design Expert Says:

“Steph had a stunning spacious living area with beautiful alcoves that could be utilised perfectly. We included some shelving and cupboards for added storage space and to also display her stunning collection of ornaments and prized possessions. 

Although the room didn’t come with any awkward angles, we still needed to consider the ventilation for her built-in fireplace, and also the radiators that was near the furniture. However, Sharps were able to create a peaceful sanctuary with symmetrical shelving and cupboards on either side of the fireplace.”

Q&A Steph Says:

How was the process with Sharps?

Sharps have been fantastic. Each step of the way and everyone involved in the process has been helpful, knowledgeable & really took the time to ensure we were happy with the end result.

Why did you choose Sharps?

We initially decided to work with Sharps as the quality of the finish on the furniture is flawless. We also valued the warranty and liked the colour range and once we had some wardrobes installed, we were keen to work with Sharps for other spaces.

How was your design appointment? 

We’ve worked with three different Sharps designers & all of them have been knowledgeable and accommodating to meet our personal needs. The design visit didn’t feel rushed but equally, you can speed it along if you know exactly what you want. By round three, we did.

Were there any awkward spaces that you needed to fit around? 

No awkward spaces but a few obstacles like radiators being close to furniture and an alcove which needed ventilation for a built-in fireplace. Again, both the designer and surveyor helped us find a solution that we could then visualise. It functionally worked beautifully too! 

How was the fitting and the rest of the process?

Fitting was very professional. The fitters were neat, tidy and took pride in their work. They discussed details with me, for example placing furniture hardware, which I really appreciated. Their workmanship gave me the confidence to use Sharps again! 

How does your finished design reflect your style? 

The finished design reflects my style beautifully. We have a shaker kitchen and so wanted to mirror the shaker style in the bedroom, lounge & study. This joins rooms in the house together and also was in keeping with the style of the house. 

What do you love most about your Sharps furniture?

I love the quality of the mechanisms, the finish and the wardrobe lighting. It all works beautifully. 

Would you recommend Sharps?

I would recommend Sharps because from start to finish the service & workmanship is excellent. This includes aftercare. The quality of the furniture is faultless and built to last. 

What do you enjoy the most with your new wardrobes? 

I most enjoyed organising the wardrobes & living room shelving. I love that everything now has a place & I have been able to balance the functional benefits of extra storage space with the aesthetics of design.
