We live in a world of speed, convenience, and instant gratification. When it comes to interior design and furniture, off-the-shelf is king. It’s understandable why. It’s affordable, and you do not have to wait six weeks for it to be delivered. Just pick what you want, take it home that day, and one evening later you have a living room suite. But is that the best way of doing things?

It might be the fastest. But speed and convenience comes at a price. Quality, longevity and style are often sacrificed. There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to furniture. What fits beautifully in one person’s bedroom - or the showroom - might be awkward and ungainly in another.

But is there a better solution? Well the short answer is yes. By increasing your budget and paying a little more for your furniture, you unlock a whole world of opportunities. Namely, bespoke furniture.

Bespoke furniture is made-to-measure. Much like a tailored suit, it is designed specifically for you as a perfect fit. Working with a specialist designer means there is no risk of furniture being too long or too short - extensive pre-planning means it’s guaranteed to fit where you want it to go. Entire suites and rooms can be done this way, allowing you to maximise your storage space and build a home that is unique to only you.
