The pieces of joinery that make a living room feel finished are usually the smallest in scale: a pair of well-proportioned alcove cabinets, a run of shelving, a quietly detailed window seat. They take longer to get right than they look.
Every piece is sized and detailed for the specific room: skirting heights matched, panel widths balanced to the window line, shadow gaps cut to the same reveal as the existing architrave. The result reads as part of the house rather than something added to it.
