Seating and Storage for Unused Corners
Custom nooks designed and installed in the Triangle area by local carpenters.
When you have a corner or alcove in your Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or the surrounding Triangle area home that is too small for standard furniture, it often sits empty or becomes cluttered. A custom nook turns that space into a built-in seating area with storage underneath, fitting the exact dimensions of your layout. You get a bench that wraps around the corner or fits into the alcove, plus cabinets or drawers that keep items organized without taking up additional floor space.
Artistic Furniture Creations & Carpentry, LLC builds nooks using quality lumber and hardware, measuring your space and discussing seating height and storage layout before construction begins. You can use the nook for breakfast seating, a reading spot, or a place to put on shoes near an entryway. The finish is matched to your trim or cabinetry, and the nook is installed by the crew that built it. A warranty is included depending on the project, and the work is backed by local craftsmen who stand behind what they create.

How the Nook Is Built Around Your Space
The process starts with measuring the corner, alcove, or wall space where the nook will be installed in your Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or Triangle area home. You choose the type of wood, finish, and whether you want storage underneath with lift-up seats, pull-out drawers, or open shelves. The nook is built off-site using the lumber and hardware selected during planning, then delivered and installed in your home with anchoring to the wall and floor.
After installation, you will see a bench that fits snugly into the corner or alcove without gaps, seating that is comfortable for daily use, and storage that keeps blankets, toys, or kitchen items out of sight. The finish will match your baseboards or cabinetry, and the nook will look like it was part of the original design.
Installation includes securing the nook to wall studs and the floor, adjusting any hinges or drawer slides so they operate smoothly, and leveling the seat. The crew removes all sawdust and debris before leaving. This service does not include cushions or upholstery, but it does include building a stable, finished base that is ready for seating.
Answers to questions before scheduling a nook build
Homeowners usually want to know how the nook will be sized, what storage options are available, and how the unit will be secured.
What measurements are needed for a custom nook?
You provide the width, depth, and height of the corner or alcove where the nook will go. The crew uses those measurements to build a bench and storage unit that fits the space without gaps or overhangs.
What storage options can be included?
You can choose lift-up seats that open to reveal storage underneath, pull-out drawers for easier access, or open shelves along the side. The crew will help you decide based on what you plan to store and how often you need to reach it.
What type of wood and finish are available?
You can select hardwoods such as oak, maple, or cherry, and choose a painted or stained finish. The finish is matched to your trim or existing cabinetry in your Triangle area home.
How is the nook attached to the wall and floor?
The nook is fastened to wall studs and secured to the floor using screws and brackets. This prevents shifting or tipping, even with daily use or weight from multiple people sitting on it.
What does the warranty cover?
The warranty depends on your project and covers defects in materials or craftsmanship. Artistic Furniture Creations & Carpentry, LLC stands behind the work and will address any issues after installation.
