Wall Paneling designed, built and installed for Queens — Tudor houses and new towers, needing opposite answers. Our New York showroom in Brooklyn is a short run from most of the borough.
In New York, panelling earns its place twice over. It gives a room the proportion that pre-war architecture assumed and later renovations stripped out, and it hides the fact that the wall behind it is neither flat nor plumb. It can also carry storage and jib doors inside a single continuous surface, which in an apartment where every inch counts is the most useful thing joinery can do.
The co-ops run alteration agreements as strictly as Manhattan does, including insurance, working hours and elevator scheduling.
Queens has the widest range of housing of any borough, and the brief changes completely between a Forest Hills Tudor and a Long Island City tower. The first conversation is about which of those two problems we are solving.
The single-family stock is older and characterful — arched openings, plaster, original trim — and the cabinetry is usually detailed to sit alongside it rather than to replace the character.
The local detail changes from job to job. This part does not.
Panelling is the quietest thing we make and the one that changes a room most. It gives a wall proportion, hides the joins where a house is not square, and carries doors, storage and lighting inside a single continuous surface — but only if it is set out properly, because a panel grid that misses its openings is worse than a plain wall.
Three different registers for three different rooms — the choice is made against the architecture, not against a trend.
Panel joints are planned to land on door openings, corners and switch positions rather than wherever the module falls.
Jib doors, cupboards and services can disappear into the panelling so the wall reads as one surface.

We work throughout Queens, including Forest Hills, Astoria, Jamaica Estates, Bayside and Long Island City. The housing here is Tudor and colonial single-family houses, a large stock of pre-war and post-war co-ops, and new towers in Long Island City, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom in Brooklyn is a short run from most of the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. The samples are worth handling before you choose — or send the drawings and we will price it first.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
Book a free 30-minute consultation with a designer who works in Queens every week. Send the drawings if you have them — we will itemise the cabinetry by room.
