Before you order alcove shelving, it pays to measure each recess separately at several heights, note skirting, coving, sockets and radiators, and choose a unit that fits the narrowest point. This guide walks through everything we would check first: whether freestanding or fixed shelving suits you, how deep the shelves should be, how much clear height you need between them and how much weight they can safely carry. We also look at planning alcoves around a television, choosing between open and closed storage, and picking a finish that sits comfortably against your walls, floor and fireplace. A short checklist at the end brings the key measurements together so you can order with confidence and avoid the most common fitting mistakes, especially in older Victorian and Edwardian properties.
