Custom furniture made by UK makers

Tables sized to a room rather than a catalogue, alcove units, benches, bed frames, desks, chairs reupholstered or built from scratch, pieces designed around a radiator or a sloping ceiling.

Furniture is the category where measurements matter most, so give the full dimensions you need and say which of them are fixed and which have some give. Timber choice, finish, and whether the piece must come apart to get up a staircase all belong in the brief. Photographs of the space are worth more than a written description. Bespoke furniture is rarely quick: expect four to twelve weeks depending on the timber and how much is hand finished.
