Case Study: Fine Design Furniture Creates a Beautiful Custom Wall Unit with Classic Shaker Cabinetry
Fine Design Furniture recently completed the design, manufacture and installation of a custom wall unit for a family home in Yeronga, Queensland. The homeowners were looking for a stylish built-in storage solution that would complement the character of their home while providing practical storage and display space for everyday living.
After discussing the clients’ vision and assessing the available space, Fine Design Furniture designed a bespoke wall unit featuring timeless shaker-profile cabinetry professionally finished in a premium 2Pac coating. The cabinetry was sprayed in Dulux Antique White USA with a refined 30% satin finish, creating an elegant furniture-quality appearance that seamlessly integrates with the home’s interior.
The completed wall unit has become a standout feature of the room, providing generous concealed storage while enhancing the overall presentation and value of the home.
The homeowners wanted a custom-built wall unit that offered more than simply additional storage. They envisioned a piece of cabinetry that would become an architectural feature while helping to organise the room and reduce clutter.
Their objectives included:
Following a detailed consultation and onsite measurement, Fine Design Furniture developed a custom solution tailored specifically to the room’s dimensions and the family’s storage requirements.
The wall unit was manufactured using Fine Design Furniture’s classic shaker door profile.
Shaker cabinetry has remained one of the most sought-after joinery styles because of its clean proportions, timeless design and versatility. The recessed panel detailing creates visual depth while maintaining a refined, understated appearance that complements almost any interior style.
Whether incorporated into traditional Queensland homes or contemporary residences, shaker cabinetry delivers an elegant finish that continues to look stylish for many years.
The carefully proportioned panels and precise construction demonstrate the craftsmanship that Fine Design Furniture brings to every custom project.
To achieve a flawless furniture-quality appearance, the cabinetry was professionally sprayed in a premium 2Pac polyurethane coating.
The selected colour, Dulux Antique White USA, provides a warm, sophisticated tone that brightens the room while complementing existing architectural features and furnishings.
Finished in a 30% satin sheen, the cabinetry achieves the perfect balance between subtle elegance and everyday practicality.
Unlike conventional painted surfaces, 2Pac finishes chemically cure to form an exceptionally durable coating that resists scratches, moisture, stains and everyday wear.
The result is cabinetry that maintains its appearance for many years while remaining easy to clean and maintain.
Every aspect of the wall unit was designed to maximise functionality while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.
The combination of enclosed cupboards and open storage areas provides flexibility for the homeowners to neatly organise everyday items while also displaying decorative pieces, books, family photographs or collectables.
Because the cabinetry was custom manufactured specifically for the available wall space, every millimetre was utilised efficiently without unsightly filler panels or wasted storage areas.
The result is a beautifully integrated storage solution that appears as though it was always part of the home’s original design.
Every component of the wall unit was manufactured by Fine Design Furniture using precision equipment and premium materials.
The cabinetry was carefully assembled and professionally installed to ensure perfect alignment, smooth door operation and consistent panel spacing throughout the project.
Attention to detail during installation ensured the cabinetry sat perfectly level while integrating seamlessly with the surrounding walls and flooring.
The final adjustments and quality inspection ensured the homeowners received a premium finished product built to deliver decades of reliable performance.
The completed wall unit has transformed the room both aesthetically and functionally.
The warm Dulux Antique White USA finish brightens the space while the shaker profile introduces timeless character and architectural elegance.
The custom-built cabinetry now provides generous storage for household items while helping maintain a neat, organised living environment.
Most importantly, the wall unit delivers a perfect balance of style and practicality, becoming a beautiful focal point within the home while significantly improving everyday functionality.
The homeowners were delighted with the quality of workmanship and appreciated the personalised design that perfectly suited both their home and lifestyle.

A Shaker profile is a classic cabinet door and drawer front design characterised by a flat centre panel surrounded by a simple, square-edged frame. Originally developed by the Shaker religious community in the 18th century, the style is known for its clean lines, practicality and timeless appearance.
Today, Shaker profile cabinetry is one of the most popular choices for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes and custom joinery because it suits both traditional and contemporary homes.
