  • A Picture-Perfect Alcove TV Wall

    A Picture-Perfect Alcove TV Wall

    As part of our upgrade package for our Freeman’s Bay project, BoxMakers crafted a highly accommodating custom TV cabinet. Precision cut and perfect to the millimetre, this TV unit was purpose-built to fit a specific space within this home.

    Slotted perfectly into the living room alcove, this brand new BoxMakers TV cabinet stands tall with 4 layers of shelving atop a quadruple doored set of cabinets. Starting from the top, the unit’s apex sits exactly flush with the room’s curtain rod. Finished with smooth Quarter Thorndon Cream from Prime Panels, this nuanced white blends perfectly with the living room.

    With the body made out of double-thickness MDF thanks to joined panels, the shelves’ rigidity is second to none. The thick, custom joined panels were chosen specifically to accommodate sculptures and antiques, and can of course double as a bookshelf.

    At the centre, we’ve created room enough to comfortably fit TVs up to 58 inches, making for a great viewing experience. Perfect for movie night, yet subtle and seamless, this unit is highly capable without being flashy.

    Beneath, the cabinetry features Dezignatek’s Russell series of their Thermoform panels – custom ordered to feature four grooves in the centre instead of the original 5. In an exquisite fusion of ornate and modern tastes, the Knurled Knob Handles by Mucheln in Antique Bronze made for a perfect finishing touch. These lower cabinets were able to tuck items away out of sight and made for ample storage.

    Making a returning appearance from the kitchen, Forté’s Ebony Rustic Plank serves as the tabletop. Its textured European Oak face adds maturity and elegance. Of note is the black, powder-coated steel edge we paired with it, which was custom ordered from TFW.

    Altogether, this custom TV unit makes the most of an alcove space to hide what needs to be hidden and flaunt what is to be shown – all while possessing the elegance, maturity, and subtlety of a smart, modern home solution.

  • A Purpose-Built TV Cabinet

    A Purpose-Built TV Cabinet

    For this recently bought Glenfield house, the owner conducted a thorough home renovation. Having finished a beautiful modern kitchen for this family, our work also extended to a custom TV cabinet and a bathroom vanity, which combined to firmly cement this home as a full modern package.

    Coming with the original home, the owner’s living space inherited an old fireplace. As they wished to opt for indoor heating, this fixture would have served as nothing more than a decorative relic. In place of it, BoxMakers were called upon to deliver a floor to ceiling TV cabinet, with a broad enough space to accommodate TVs up to 75”.

    Beautiful Panels

    Our precision cut cabinetry used a 16mm MDF substrate with a finish that came in Bleached Maple Woodgrain by Prime Panels. This mirrored the look of the brand-new kitchen while also fitting perfectly with the hardwood floor. As far as storage is concerned, the cabinet offers four large shelves with backlit LEDs, dual vertical cabinets with ample shelving, and bottom drawers featuring Häfele’s runner systems.

    The wall-facing corner was carefully cut to accommodate the room’s crown moulding, ensuring a seamless fit and perfectly integrating it with the living room. Multiple power points were also thoughtfully installed with the family’s uses in mind. In addition to enjoying shows on a very large TV, the household are also big fans of gaming and karaoke. These power outlets allow for convenient powering of consoles and accessories while being excellent at hiding cables.

    Complementing the Bathroom

    Downstairs saw a significant structural makeover, and BoxMakers’ role was to deliver a new bathroom vanity to provide additional storage and a convenient basin. It features the same Calacatta Bianco countertop as the kitchen, partnered with a new cabinet finish of white melamine, yet complementing it just as well. The handles were chosen to be Mardeco’s Arezzo series, a rounded rectangular bar handle in black. This quaint little corner vanity adds cohesion and function to the new ground floor.
