About the service
I am an independent carpenter and furniture maker specializing in built-in storage systems for hallways — the very furniture that transforms a pile of shoes and jackets at the entrance into a neat, thoughtfully organized first impression of the home. Every project begins with on-site measurements or video consultation, because hallways vary in width, ceiling height and wall condition for everyone, and real built-in furniture must be fitted exactly to your room, not assembled like a standard box.
First we discuss how your family actually uses the hallway: how many people live in the house and how many need separate compartments, whether you need a changing bench, closed cabinets for tidiness or open shelves for quick access, a hinged bench lid for storing boots, hooks at different heights for adults and children. I make layout sketches, and for larger projects I prepare simple 3D visualization so you can see proportions and finishes before the first board is cut.
Manufacturing is done in my workshop: solid hardwood facades, plywood bodies, connections with confirmat screws and glue for strength, drawers — with dovetail or dowel joinery. I make real shoe compartments sized for boots and sneakers, adjustable shelves, soft-close hinges and drawer runners, hook rails I attach to wall studs or a solid backing board so they hold winter coats and backpacks for years, not months. Finishes range from painted shaker-style panels to stained oak, maple or walnut to match your existing baseboards and trim, paint color I match to tone.
This service includes: consultation and measurement, layout development with material and finish recommendations, a firm estimate before work begins, furniture manufacturing in the workshop, on-site installation with secure attachment to wall studs and final inspection with adjustment of doors, drawers and hardware. Typical timeframe from approved project to installed bench is two to three weeks depending on finish complexity and current workshop load; small single-span benches sometimes I make faster.
Portfolio includes a one-and-a-half-meter family bench with four coat compartments and a hinged shoe storage box for a young family, a narrow fifty-centimeter bench for a townhouse hallway, and a country-style bench with open shelves and wrought-iron hooks for a country house. I'm happy to show detailed photos of completed work, discuss your wall dimensions and prepare a written estimate before work begins so you know exactly what you'll get and how much it will cost.
