Albany Fitted Foyer Unit London

The Albany Fitted Foyer Unit is a made-to-measure hallway wall that takes everything an entrance needs from floor to ceiling: cupboards for coats and bags, lit niches for keys and a plant, and an open bay for the shoes in use. It is built to the width of your hall and the height of your ceiling, so the run finishes at the cornice rather than stopping short of it.

The finish is sage green matt slab with brass knobs, warmed by oak-effect linings in every open niche. The interiors are light oak woodgrain, so the cupboards read as furniture open as well as closed.

How it works: a bank of upper cupboards runs across the top, two lit display niches with a shelf between sit at eye height with cupboards beneath, a tall lit niche at the end takes a vase, and an open lit shoe bay runs along the floor. Every niche has an LED strip under its top on the hall switch.

Designed around how you come home

A hallway is used for thirty seconds at a time, so the order of the run matters: where you stop, where a hand goes with the keys, where a shoe comes off. Each foyer unit is planned around that sequence at the design visit, and around who lives in the house.

• Upper cupboards across the top
• Two oak-lined display niches, lit, with a shelf between
• Tall lit niche at the end
• Base cupboards for bags and the vacuum
• Open lit shoe bay along the floor
• Brass knobs and concealed soft-close hinges
• Integrated LED strip lighting (warm white, white and yellow)
• Built to the ceiling, with no gap above

Built for everyday use: the fronts at boot height carry a softened 2mm edge rather than a square one, the open niches are lined in oak-effect board that hides scuffs, and every carcass has a solid 18mm back fixed to the wall, so the run stands square on a hallway floor that rarely is.

Manufactured in our Wembley workshop

Your Albany is made to measure and cut in our HA9 Wembley factory from the survey of your hall. The beam saw cuts each carcass panel to its own size, the CNC drills the hinge and shelf positions, and the industrial edge-bander finishes every visible edge, so the doors and niches leave the workshop as one matched set.

The hall width, ceiling height, skirting, the door swing and the position of the light switch are all measured at your design visit, and the run is scribed to the walls and floor on installation.

Quality you can rely on: your Metro fitted furniture comes with a 10-year guarantee covering parts and labour.
