Bespoke Oak Veneer Living Room Furniture Set | Custom TV Unit & Storage in Normanton

We recently designed and installed this complete set of bespoke living room furniture for a client in Normanton, West Yorkshire. The goal was to create a unified look that maximized storage without cluttering the space. By using bright natural oak veneer, we achieved a “shabby chic” aesthetic that feels warm, spacious, and perfectly tailored to the room’s dimensions.

Many homes in Wakefield and Leeds suffer from awkwardly shaped rooms where standard furniture simply doesn’t fit. For this project, we created three distinct zones to solve the client’s storage needs:

• Bespoke TV Media Unit: Featuring deep drawers for hiding cables and consoles, keeping the entertainment area clean.

• Alcove Bookcase: A custom shelving unit designed to display books above and conceal baskets below, perfectly fitting the alcove space.

• Tall Hallway Cabinet: A floor-to-ceiling fitted bedroom and storage solution for shoes and coats, making use of vertical space often wasted by freestanding wardrobes.

A common question we get is about material choice. For this project, we used a high-quality 36mm MDF core for the carcasses. We chose this over solid wood to ensure absolute stability and prevent the warping that can happen with large solid wood panels in heated homes.

We then applied a premium natural oak veneer finished with a white dye and satin varnish. This technique gives you the stunning grain patterns and texture of real oak but with the structural integrity needed for heavy items like TVs and books. The look was completed with cast iron black handles to contrast against the bright wood tone.

Here are the technical details for this custom freestanding furniture project:
