Our design language is a versatile one that extends to any room of the home — including Pantries, Bathrooms, Home Libraries, Dressing Rooms, Bars, and Laundry Rooms.
Bathroom
We are a company of craftspeople and designers offering custom bathroom cabinets and tailored cabinetry solutions for bathroom designs and remodels.. In Birmingham, our interior design consultations for bathroom renovations can include Plain English bathroom vanities and bathroom cabinets as well as our bespoke glazed screens and doors that create separation while allowing light to come through.
Dressing Room & Wardrobe
Highly regarded for our elevated renovations, wardrobes, dressing rooms, our closet designs are particularly apt for a high level of custom detail. For projects in Birmingham, our designers methodically approach the interiors and exteriors of all of our cupboards down to the millimeter. Upper cupboards, glazed doors, steel ladder rails, and cedar-lined drawers are just a few of the many custom closet details. Whether a simple dressing room, a freestanding piece, or a fully built-in bank of wardrobes – we create exceptional custom closet designs for homes in Birmingham that are always considered and of the highest quality.
Bar & Wine Room
Custom home bars and built-in cabinetry are ideal for meeting the needs of entertaining and hospitality in Birmingham, AL. Our projects have included a variety of design concepts – from a coffee, breakfast, or cocktail bar adjacent to the kitchen or dining room to a completely independent wine room equipped with wine refrigeration and an ice maker. Each design is tailored to complement the home’s architecture while offering practical storage and serving space.
Laundry Room
At Plain English, we approach laundry room remodels in Birmingham with a focus on both utility and the inherent beauty of the space. Our designs can be as straightforward as open shelves and housings for appliances, or they can feature more developed custom laundry room cabinets with dedicated areas for ironing and pressing, closed storage and integrations, and refined details such as painted overhead drying racks.
Mudroom
We often incorporate an adjacent mudroom into the scope when planning the interior millwork for a project in Birmingham. In our mudroom designs, durability, functionality, and storage are essential. Incorporating custom mudroom cabinets allows us to address the specific needs of clients as they enter from outdoors—providing space to remove and store boots and shoes, hang bags, backpacks, and pet collars, and create practical surfaces for setting down groceries, plants, and other items.
Home Office & Library
Our bespoke designs understand the requirements of places for work and storage that home offices and libraries demand. Our custom home office designs for projects in Birmingham may consider discrete working areas suited for today’s open-plan living spaces; whether through custom glazed screens, bookshelves, or desk drawers.
