A pair of bespoke alcove cabinets designed to sit comfortably within the architecture of the room.

Painted shelving with integrated lighting adds depth to the alcoves, while the lower cupboards provide concealed storage below. We also made the panelling around the fireplace to tie the whole composition together.

A calm, balanced piece that works with the room rather than competing with it.

Designed by and made by our team in Chester.

Not every piece fills a room.
But every piece deserves the same care.

Sometimes a room just needs a little confidence

One of our favourite projects to revisit — a loft space that gave us the freedom to push colour a little further.

● Deep blue framing.
● Slatted oak doors.
● A flash of orange to lift it.

Bold, but balanced.

Designed and built in-house here in Cheshire by our team.

We’ve built a few oak islands recently — and each one is completely different.

This one features solid oak cabinetry, aged brass hardware and a quartz worktop, all built in-house from first cut to installation.

Designed for everyday use. Built to last decades.
Would you choose oak & brass or painted cabinetry?

Fluted drawer fronts, aged brass hardware and raised on legs to keep the space feeling light and architectural.
Built in our workshop from first cut to final installation.
Currently taking on bespoke kitchen projects.

Created for in her beautifully designed home. A pleasure to bring this design to life.

A lovely little media cabinet for a lovely couple in Tarporley.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your wardrobes, this is a good example of what we at Davies & Foster can help you achieve.

This fitted wardrobe was designed, built and spray-finished by us from start to finish. It’s finished in Farrow & Ball 'all white', applied in-house for a smooth, durable finish that’s made to last.

We kept the outside clean and minimal, then introduced solid oak inset handles to bring warmth and character into the design. Each one is machined from solid oak and recessed into the doors — properly built in, not just added on.

Inside, automatic LED lighting comes on as soon as the doors open — because nobody wants to be rummaging around in the dark.

Solid materials. Clean lines. Proper joinery.
If you’d like something similar in your home, give us a call and we’ll talk through the options 😁

Ah Fin… how we miss you. 🐾

Fin was a lovely dog who, unsure at first, really came around to us during the course of the fit — even posing for photos at the end. A proper good boy 🐕

Anyway, back to the job at hand.

This is a custom bookcase with ladder, made for a customer in Cheshire last month.
A tall one too — the photos don’t do the height justice… over 3m floor to cornice.

The ladder is made from oak and tulipwood, hooking over a brass rail secured at the two-thirds point of the cabinet.

With oak internals, detailed front mouldings, the addition of the ladder and rail, and a spray-painted Satin Slipper finish, the whole project really came together and makes a lovely addition to the house.

All designed, made and spray finished in our workshop in Backford, Chester, by a great team of people.

We’ve got a few more ladder projects lined up for early next year, any questions on this project or another, ask away 😃

🌀 A 128 Inch Projector in a living room!! 🌀

We still get a load of questions about this job, so i thought we'd do a video with a voice-over and some extended footage explaining some of the most commonly asked questions

The rising screen is by and what a piece of kit it is! This was integrated into the cabinetry along with the short-throw projector (model EH-LS800B) made by

Either side of the cabinet housed some KEF Q550
speakers and a KEF Kube subwoofer, all powered by a Denon Amp

The hinges that were attached to the projector doors were by - these were perfect for the 180-degree opening effect we wanted to achieve.

Any more questions just ask. This was a really exciting and challenging project to be involved in. Definitely one of our favourites just for the wow factor alone 😄
