Custom Furniture Making

Custom furniture turns everyday rooms into spaces that feel personal, practical, and built to last. Instead of forcing your layout to fit what is available in stores, you can commission pieces designed around your measurements, storage needs, and style. From a single statement table to a full set of fitted units, we create furniture that matches how you live and work.

What We Make and How It Fits Your Space

We build bespoke furniture for homes and businesses, including one off pieces and coordinated collections. Every project starts with your space, your priorities, and the way you want the furniture to function day to day.

Common custom pieces

  • Tables and desks for dining, home offices, and meeting rooms, sized for comfortable seating and movement.
  • Wardrobes and cabinets with rails, shelving, drawers, and internal layouts that suit your clothing, equipment, or stock.
  • Bookcases and shelving built for weight, visibility, and clean alignment, including alcove and wall to wall designs.
  • Bed frames and headboards tailored to room dimensions and mattress size, with optional integrated storage.
  • Kitchen and utility units designed to suit appliances, access, and workflow, while keeping a consistent finish.

If you already own furniture you want to keep, we can often design new pieces to match existing finishes and proportions. For projects that also require set up on site, we can coordinate with professional furniture assembly so everything is installed safely and aligned correctly.

Materials, Craftsmanship, and Finishes

Great custom furniture is not only about appearance. It is about strength, comfort, and the way surfaces hold up under real use. We help you choose materials and finishes that balance budget with durability, especially for high traffic areas and commercial interiors.

Material options

  • Solid wood for warmth, longevity, and repairability. Ideal for tables, frames, and premium cabinetry.
  • Veneered panels for a refined look with good stability, often used for larger surfaces where movement must be controlled.
  • Laminate and engineered boards for easy cleaning and consistent colour, suitable for utility spaces and many business settings.

We also advise on edge details, hardware, and joinery methods so drawers run smoothly, doors stay aligned, and loads are properly supported. If an existing item needs attention before it can be integrated into a new design, we can recommend wood furniture repair solutions such as hinge replacement, drawer runner upgrades, or structural reinforcement.

Our Process From Idea to Installation

Commissioning custom furniture should feel straightforward. We manage the details with clear communication, realistic timelines, and a focus on fit and finish.

  1. Consultation and measurements where we discuss function, style, budget, and take accurate on site dimensions.
  2. Design and specification including layout, storage configuration, materials, finishes, and hardware choices.
  3. Build and quality checks with careful machining, assembly, and pre fit verification so components align as intended.
  4. Delivery and installation planned to protect your home or premises and ensure everything sits level and secure.

For larger projects or tight spaces, we can plan for staged installation, including careful disassembly of old items where needed. We can also align installation with furniture disassembly and reassembly when you are renovating, moving, or reconfiguring a room.

Custom Furniture for Homes and Businesses

Residential projects often focus on comfort, storage, and making awkward spaces useful. Think under stair cabinetry, built in wardrobes, or a desk that fits a specific corner with tidy cable management. Commercial projects typically require harder wearing finishes, consistent repetition across multiple units, and reliable lead times to keep operations on track.

Whether the setting is a family home, a rental property, a cafe, or an office, we design for daily use. That includes practical details like easy clean surfaces, concealed fixings, and durable hardware that stays stable even with frequent opening and closing.

Repair, Upgrades, and Aftercare

Custom furniture is a long term investment, and proper aftercare keeps it looking and working its best. We can advise on cleaning products, humidity considerations, and how to protect high use surfaces. If wear appears over time, we can help you plan touch ups, hardware replacements, and small adjustments to restore smooth operation and stability.

To discuss a custom piece or a full fitted project, get in touch with your measurements and a few photos of the space. We will help you choose the right design, materials, and installation approach so your furniture fits beautifully and performs reliably for years to come.

FAQ

How long does custom furniture making usually take?

Timing depends on complexity, materials, and finishing, but most projects run from a few weeks to several weeks. After measuring and finalising the design, we confirm a build schedule and an installation date that suits you.

Can you match the colour or style of my existing furniture?

Yes, we can often match tones, profiles, and hardware so new pieces blend with what you already have. Sharing photos and any known material details helps us recommend the closest finish and construction approach.

Do you handle delivery and installation for built in units?

Yes, we can deliver and install, including levelling, securing, and aligning doors and drawers. For tight access or renovations, we can plan staged fitting and coordinate removal or reconfiguration where required.
