Custom Work: One-of-a-Kind Builds

When a NYC client needed more storage in a narrow space beside her bed, Monroe Trades delivered a custom wall-mounted rack that solved the problem beautifully. With shelves, a hang bar, and just enough clearance for a nightstand, this piece was built to her exact measurements—and didn’t block her closet door. A smart, space-saving solution that shows what custom work is all about.

A Raleigh horse barn needed storage solutions as strong as their gear. Monroe Trades delivered custom wall-mounted racks designed to hold heavy saddles and thick blankets with ease.

This one-of-a-kind fixture was built using a salvaged window frame, rewired and repurposed into a striking wall-mounted light. The aged wood, original hardware, and exposed bulbs give it a warm, industrial feel that adds character to the gallery space.
