Bespoke Furniture

If you are struggling to find the right sized piece of furniture for your room we can help solve your problem with our bespoke furniture service.

Save yourself the time and stress of looking for the perfect piece with our made to measure furniture. We can create furniture made to your requirements and design. This can include modifications to the size and design of any of the items shown in our existing range of furniture or a completely new design.

Alterations to items in our current range

Minor adjustments to items in our current range can include the following:

  • Choose your required height, width or depth
  • Choose the colour or finish
  • Choose your handles
  • Changing cupboards to drawers e.g. on a desk
  • Changing the design of feet, edgings or cornices.

New items and bespoke service

If you cannot find what you would like within our standard range we can create a completely new design for you. Perhaps you have seen a picture of what you would like in a magazine or on another website. Just let us have as much information as possible and we will provide you with a quote.

Questions and Answers

Step 1: Contact us: Let us have a brief description of what it is you would like. i.e image, sketch, dimensions and finish etc. We will let you know if we require any further information. When we receive a bespoke enquiry, we send our supplier the design details including the required dimensions and any diagrams or images that have been provided to request a quote.

Step 2: Quote: We will supply you with a written quote and lead-time for the item/s (usually within 2-3 working days). We will often supply a diagram detailing the design and dimensions with the quotation.

Step 3: Placing the order: Once the details have been approved and you are ready to confirm your order a deposit payment will be required. We may provide technical drawings once the order is placed and deposit received although they are not always supplied if only a small change is to be made. We will add the details to our system and supply an order confirmation invoice via email, invoice and delivery address will be required at this stage along with contact telephone number/s.

Step 4: Production: The order will be placed with our supplier once the deposit is received. This is a non-refundable deposit once the furniture is in production. Images of the item/s will be supplied via email in the raw state for approval. Some changes can be made at this stage if required. More images will also be supplied when the pieces are finished and ready to be sent for final approval. The approximate lead-time for bespoke furniture is 12-16 weeks. If alterations are made during the process it may take a little longer.

Step 5: Delivery: We will contact you once the furniture is due to arrive into stock to confirm arrival and take balance payment. Once the final payment has been made, we will pass the details to our courier to arrange delivery. They aim to deliver within 10-15 working days.

Your bespoke mahogany furniture can be supplied in various shades of mahogany with a traditional wax polish. Our standard shade is a medium brown stain C and we can also offer lighter and darker shades along with some more red or golden tones if required. We have produced pieces in dark oak, light oak, cherry and espresso finishes.

In addition to the traditional wax polish we can also use a nitro cellulose (NC) finish which is more durable with a permanent satin gloss appearance. Or polyurethane (PU) which is a permanent glossy finish. These finishes are recommended for heavy use items like coffee tables, dressing tables and furniture used in the hotel environment.

Paint finishes available include:

  • Plain or antique white
  • Creams
  • Florentine and gold
  • Florentine and silver
  • Black
  • Greys
  • We are also able to colour match Farrow and Ball paint colours.

All of the timber used in the production of our furniture is sourced from managed plantations in Indonesia which are strictly controlled.

All items are hand crafted using traditional techniques to include dove tail joints, floating panels etc. Most pieces of bespoke furniture are made from solid mahogany wood. This is an excellent wood to make furniture as it has a close grain and is very solid, stable and heavy.

We can also produce furniture from teak and mindi wood, which is also commonly known as white cedar wood. It is an ideal choice for producing furniture particularly when veneered.

Bespoke walnut furniture is veneered and will be produced on a solid mahogany or mindi carcass. This can be supplied in various shades although the end colour will be reliant on the colour of the original veneer.

Pieces are made as accurately as possible to sizes provided but may vary slightly due to the hand made nature of the furniture which is not machine made or mass produced.

For examples of some of the bespoke furniture that we have supplied in the past, please see our Bespoke Gallery below. All of the items shown are available to order. Please contact us for more information or to discuss your bespoke requirements.

Case Studies

Custom made items take around 12-16 weeks on average but can take longer. This lead time includes the manufacture of your item and also the shipping time to the UK.

If you have a deadline we would suggest that you order your furniture well in advance to avoid disappointment. Please make us aware of this at the time of order.

Delivery is usually included within your quote but we will advise you if this is not the case. An assembly service is available and if this is required we can include this within your quote.

Bespoke furniture is a little more expensive than standard although as a direct importer, we can still offer a keen price. Ask for a quote, you may be surprised!

A 25% deposit is required before production of your made to measure furniture is started. The deposit is non-refundable once the furniture is in production. The balance payment is required before your furniture is delivered to your home.

Bespoke Beds

We supply beds that are made to fit standard mattress sizes of:

  • 3′ single (mattress size W90cm x L190cm)
  • 4’6″ double (mattress size W135cm x L190cm)
  • 5′ king size (mattress size W150cm x L200cm)
  • 6′ super king size (mattress size W180cm x L200cm)

We can also supply beds in different sizes to order e.g. 4′ small double size and 7′ Queen size and also 2’6″ small single size as well as Emperor size and European mattress sizes. It is also possible to change the height of footboards to make them lower or higher. Four poster beds can also have the post heights altered which is particularly useful if the ceiling is low in your bedroom.

Bespoke TV units

We have a large selection of mahogany TV units available with both corner and widescreen options. Although we may not have just what you need to fit your new TV or media equipment which is frequently evolving. We can make TV units in different configurations and sizes, with specific shelf opening, drawers and cupboards. Changing handles and finish to incorporate in the living room.

Bespoke Dining Tables

All of our tables can have the measurements altered. We find this especially popular with dining tables as people often want them to seat more people. This is a wonderful option if you are finding it hard to source a table long enough to seat all family members on special occasions. We can supply tables with extending leaves and with pedestal bases as well as legs. We will always welcome ideas for new table designs available in mahogany, walnut, mindi and teak woods.

Bespoke Desks

Desk measurements can be changed including width and depth. Minimal height alterations can also be made. We can alter drawer configuration as well as handles (e.g. swan handles can be changed to cup handles). We can also offer a choice of leather colours for inlaid desk tops including brown, green, burgundy and black.

Bespoke Bookcases

Bookcases are another popular bespoke item. We can change the height, width or depth of our bookcases to suit your requirements. Shelf configuration can also be changed so that more or less shelves can be used. The space between shelves can be altered so that, for example, taller books or ornaments can be stored. Most bookcases are supplied with adjustable shelves.

Bespoke Vanity Units

Our stylish French Bathroom Vanity Units provide fantastic storage solutions for your bathroom and are handcrafted from solid mahogany. They are then finished with a real marble or solid mahogany top.

We offer a bespoke service for the size and finish of our Bathroom Vanity Units to include single or double sinks. Vanity units can be made to your required size subject to sink size*. There are a choice of finishes available including lacquered mahogany, antique white, grey, real silver or gold leaf.

*We are able to supply 2 different quality TOTO sinks the LW587J (under mounted bowl) and the LW565. The LW587J bowl requires a minimum unit depth of 60-65cm and the LW565 requires a minimum unit depth of 50-55cm.

Examples of bespoke sinks

Bespoke cabinets can be based on our standard Bathroom Vanity Units. We can also quote to replicate if you have seen a design that you like elsewhere.

The marble we can supply comes in a choice of 3 colours, white, cream or black. Marble is a natural stone and each piece has its own unique characteristics. It will vary in colour, shading and veining. This means that there will be minor variations and visible fossils, veins and vents (little holes) appearing here and there. This is the beauty of the natural material and not a fault.

Examples of marble finishes

We can also supply just a base unit if you wish to use your own marble.

Please note – we do not supply taps or waste connections. Please advise when ordering whether you require 1 or 2 holes in the marble for your own choice of taps.

As vanity units are made to order they are subject to a lead time of approximately 12-16 weeks. An accurate lead time will be provided at the time of quote.

Please carefully check the dimensions of the Vanity Unit you would like to order. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate access for delivery. The units typically arrive in 2 pieces, the base cabinet and the marble top. If the unit has a mahogany top it will arrive in one piece.

As you can see we have a range of items that are available as part of our bespoke service from beds, dining tables, desks, bookcases, vanity units and bathroom cabinets.

If you would like more details on our bespoke furniture service please do not hesitate to contact us for free advice and to get a no obligation quote.
