Why Bespoke Furniture Is Worth Every Penny
Bespoke furniture Is King
As the planet gets flooded with low cost, poor quality furniture, handmade wooden designs are often bypassed. As a joiner and furniture maker, Ive had the pleasure of transforming many homes with our bespoke furniture and interiors. Here I will highlight the benefits of such work, from the savings to the beauty.
Benefits
Built purposely to fit your space
Bespoke furniture is built to fit your exact space. Your furniture and interior products will be the perfect fit for your home. The style, shape, size and colour can be anything you wish for. Bespoke measurements can be taken from your home meaning all of your furniture will fit like a glove.
Quality and Durability
Joiners and furniture specialists usually opt for high grade materials. Solid wood and steel, assembled using traditional techniques and years upon years of experience. The result is furniture that lasts a lifetime. One of its qualities is the ease at which the finish can be touch up or reworked. Its not unusual for handmade furniture to be passed down to grandchildren and so on. The long term value for money is incredible.
Unique Designs
There are an infinite number of designs which can be developed. A good woodworker will work with you to develop the design to suit your needs. Experience is key here, a time-served joiner will have seen and done many interesting things and can help with ideas and proposals.
Sentimental
One of the most satisfying parts of my job is seeing the emotional attachment customers have with their bespoke furniture. Having being your idea, to fit your space, in the style you love and in your chosen custom finish, its hard not to be sentimental about something built just for you, exactly how you wanted it. And we love to built it for you.
The process
Building bespoke furniture is a very specialised process and even the most time served joiners take a bit of time to get fluent building perfect pieces. From the first phone call to the delivery and fitting, many steps are taken as your idea goes from the drawing board to you living room. Here we explain a few of these steps.
Design and consultation
The first step might possibly be the most tricky. From how big, to what shape, style and colour. A lot of thought and brainstorming goes into this stage. We like to work with the customer right from the start, sharing ideas and using our experience to guide you.
Material Selection
We can advice on what is the best materials to use depending on its purpose and using your priorities as a guide. Our suppliers stock only high quality materials and we like to handpick from this stock ourselves.
Crafting and Assembly
Using a combination of traditional and modern techniques, we carefully craft each piece to perfection. Precision and attention to detail is critical. We aim for our furniture to outlive you, this starts by making sure each piece is assembled to the highest standards.
Finishing Touches
The most satisfying part of my job. As the finish soaks into the wood, we watch the furniture morph into a masterpiece full of character. Hours upon hours of graft can take its toll, but nothing gives an energy boost quite like applying a finish to a bespoke piece of furniture.
