We Can Make Your Custom Woodwork Design Dreams a Reality

When you’re thinking about what kind of custom woodwork design elements you want to include in your home, it can get pretty overwhelming.

From handcrafted kitchen cabinets to crown moulding, wainscoting, window trim, and coffered ceilings, there are truly a staggering number of options.

At the same time, if you’re not a woodworker yourself, then things can get even more complicated, as you’re never quite sure if what you’re envisioning will actually work.

But when you’re working with a true expert, like our master woodworker, Andy Ingram, then you can pretty much rest assured that you’ll be able to make your design dreams a reality.

And with the holidays over and done, and all the credit card bills rolling in, now’s as good a time as any to narrow down your options, determine which ones you can actually afford, and figure out what custom woodwork design elements you’d like to implement in your home.

That being said, we know how stressful this whole process can be, so we figured we should publish a blog showing some of the projects we’ve done over the years, so you can get a better idea of what we’re capable of, and what’s actually possible when it comes to woodworking.

So, if you’re interested in adding some custom woodwork design elements to your home, and you’re looking for top-quality woodworking in Kelowna, then this article is for you.

Custom Woodwork Design from Tru Wood

Over the years, we’ve worked with countless clients on a wide range of projects, from massive remodels to much smaller and simpler tasks.

With that in mind, below you’ll see some of the work we’ve been most proud of over the years, including some of the larger and more difficult projects, and some not-so-demanding designs.

Handcrafted Kitchen Cabinets

One of the most popular projects people hire us to complete is to build and install handcrafted kitchen cabinets.

We’ve done a boatload of these over the years, in both large, luxurious kitchens, and many of the more modest ones, as well.

Part of the reason why they’re so popular is that they allow you to customize one of the most important aspects of your kitchen, both in terms of its design and its storage space.

You can choose whatever wood, paint, or stain you like, so you know your cabinets are going to look exactly the way you envisioned them.

And we’ll work with you to optimize the layout of your cabinets, and the storage space that’s available, so you can make the most of your kitchen, no matter how big it is.

Floating Staircases

A floating wooden staircase may look like a feat of engineering, but it’s actually not that tough to do.

These kinds of staircases are also particularly popular, not least because they offer an exceptionally distinct, modern look. And by matching the beauty of wood with things like metal and glass, they can also give your home a playfully eclectic vibe.

Believe it or not, they can also fit into some pretty tight spaces, and while they may look a bit scary, they’re just as safe as any run-of-the-mill set of stairs, if not more, so there’s nothing to worry about in that department.

And as is the case with all custom woodwork design elements, you can choose whatever kind of wood you’d prefer, and have it stained or painted to your liking, allowing you to show off your unique style.

Reclaimed Wood Tables

No matter how sleek, streamlined, and polished a table may be, it’s just not going to be able to compare to the natural beauty of old, reclaimed wood.

As you can see from the image above, even a heavily damaged, cracked, or gouged-out piece of wood can make an incredibly beautiful table. It’s almost as if the more damaged the wood is, the better the table ends up looking.

We’ve built plenty of these reclaimed wood tables, and it’s always amazing to bring these one-of-a-kind pieces into reality.

Something else that’s important to note is that aside from being able to customize a table to your exact specifications, we can also use your reclaimed wood to build the table, if possible, or we can source the wood ourselves, so you’ve got a ton of options.

Entertainment Units

One of the most crucial things to consider when building a rec room or home theatre is where to put the TV and all the other electronics.

Whether it’s a DVD player, stereo system, karaoke machine, or collection of game consoles, determining where to put all this stuff can be annoying, to say the least.

You’ve got to make sure you have enough outlets in the right places to plug everything in, enough room to fit all your electronics, and then there’s the dilemma of trying to figure out what to do with that unsightly pile of cords.

So, if you’re debating how to set up your rec room or home theatre, then a custom wood entertainment unit could be just what you need.

As you can see from the image above, if you’d prefer, we can even make everything look perfectly seamless by hiding all the cords and electronics behind wood paneling.

Wine Rooms

A wine room might seem like something you’d only find in the homes of celebrities, socialites, and movie stars.

But while they can be incredibly extravagant, the truth is, wine rooms are not solely for the ultra-rich.

You’d probably be surprised at how affordable they can be, and the small amount of space that’s actually required to build one.

The fact of the matter is you can create a gorgeous wine room, even in a tiny little space, like the one shown in the image above.

So, if you’re looking to install a wine room in your home, but you don’t have the budget, or the wine collection, to justify turning your whole basement into a wine cellar, there’s no need to worry.

We can work with practically any space or budget to create a wine room that fits your unique needs.
