Wall Paneling designed, built and installed for Westchester — big formal houses where the job is a kitchen, a pantry, a mudroom and a laundry. Our New York showroom in Brooklyn serves the county; most projects there are drawn on site.
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.
Older houses here often have plaster over lath, uneven floors and radiators in inconvenient places. Every one of those affects how a run is set out.
Westchester houses are big and formal, and the kitchen is usually the room that was last to be modernised. A butler's pantry, a mudroom and a real laundry are as much a part of the brief as the kitchen itself — the cabinetry job is rarely one room.
Four real seasons mean genuine humidity swings between summer and a heated winter. Solid timber elements are sized and detailed to move, because they will.
The specification below is the same whether the job is in Westchester or anywhere else we work — it is how we build, not what we build for the market.
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.
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.
Three different registers for three different rooms — the choice is made against the architecture, not against a trend.

We work throughout Westchester, including Scarsdale, Rye, Bronxville, Chappaqua and Larchmont. The housing here is large colonials and Tudors on generous lots, many of them pre-war and on their third or fourth kitchen, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom in Brooklyn serves the county; most projects there are drawn on site. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Visit when it suits, or start by sending the plans and we will come back with a number per room.
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 Westchester every week. Send the drawings if you have them — we will itemise the cabinetry by room.
