7 reasons why it’s worth investing in custom-made joinery
A lot of our clients approach us to design bespoke joinery- it’s part of every single project as custom made pieces are always the best way to achieve:
1- Consistency of STYLE
2- Consistency of COLOUR scheme
3- EFFICIENCY
Every project we work on has some custom-made joinery, whether it’s a bespoke home bar, media unit, wardrobe, desk for a home office, a whole new kitchen or dining unit.
This custom media unit was designed to meet all of our clients’ requirements: it houses books, bottles of wine, a TV with a sound bar, and has concealed storage for toys.
Why do we love designing custom joinery? Because custom joinery doesn’t date.
Store-bought pieces can date easily and the beauty of bespoke joinery is that the classic design combined with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, will withstand seasonal trends and suit your personal taste and lifestyle.
This joinery had to conceal a lot of books, board games and provide working space for both parents and children.
Bespoke joinery can also add greater incremental VALUE (4) to your home. More so than anything other ready-to-buy furniture products. One of the main reasons for this is the perception it creates for prospective home buyers – it effectively reduces the need to purchase traditional furniture whilst providing a more high end aesthetic to the home.
If you want to create a home that is distinctively yours, need something with greater functionality and comfort or you have a uniquely shaped space, custom joinery solutions will be the perfect solution for you.

Custom joinery is worth investing in because of:
5. CUSTOMISATION- Having a made-to-measure piece means that it won’t just fit correctly, it will also prolong the lifespan of the wood or any other material used, because it won’t be ill-fitting.
6. UNIQUENESS- A proper bespoke joinery service will make the distinction between creating a completely unique piece of furniture or design, as opposed to making something which ends up being a close match to something else.
7. UNBEATABLE QUALITY- With bespoke joinery, a quality, lasting finish is the order of the day.
Also, when you invest in local artisans, manufacturers and suppliers, you help to preserve a craft and livelihood passed down for many generations and support local industry.
All four pictures above show different pieces of bespoke joinery we designed in collaboration with Jeff Kahane Architects for a property renovation in Norfolk. From bespoke library integrated with home office and stunning living room joinery designed to feature our clients’ stunning yet very heavy bronze sculpture and hide outdoor sofa cushions, this joinery is a true testament to adding incredible aesthetic and monetary value to a home; not to mention, invaluable positive effect on our clients’ well-being and lifestyle.
We take a fully bespoke approach to each and every piece of joinery we design. Designing bespoke joinery is one of my personal favourites: it allows me to integrate so many interesting materials, create new forms; it’s where aesthetic meets functionality. I love transforming spaces with bespoke purpose built joinery.
The advantage of working with an Interior Designer on your bespoke joinery is that they can help you to design cabinetry that you require and ensure it works with the rest of the house.
