Project Showcase: Tailor Made MDF Corner Bench and Shelving

At a property in Lennox Street, we recently finished painting a bespoke MDF corner bench with shelving above—beautifully built by A.J. Milne Bespoke Carpentry. This practical and stylish feature now blends seamlessly into the client’s space.

Craftsmanship Meets Function
The bench, made from MDF with a solid oak seat, includes a lift-up top for hidden storage. Ally from A.J. Milne also installed matching built-in shelves above, adding both function and flow to the corner.

Flawless Finish
We began with detailed prep: filling, sanding, and priming all surfaces using Tikkurila Otex Adhesion Primer. After a second sanding, we painted with Tikkurila Everal Aqua Matt [10]—matched precisely to the wall colour (Farrow & Ball’s Au Lait) for a fully integrated look.

Finishing Touches
To complement the space, we treated the oak bench top with a custom Osmo Oil blend, matched to other timber pieces in the client’s kitchen. It tied everything together with a warm, natural finish.

A Thoughtful Transformation
The final result is a clean, functional, and cohesive addition to the home—crafted and finished with care from start to finish.
