What is bespoke furniture?
This is a question that over 20 thousand people ask Google every month, so I thought I would give you my answer to “what is bespoke furniture“
Bespoke furniture is simply furniture that has been made to measure according to what you want to use it for and how you want it to look.
So for example if you want a wardrobe that is a particular size and configuration of whatever shelves, hanging and drawers at the exact size you want, then if you commission bespoke furniture you can have it exactly how you want it.
So, you might have a wall that has a chimney in the middle and you might want to fit storage in the exact space that you have on both sides without wasting any space, then bespoke fitted furniture will do just that.
Bespoke furniture also means that you can have the wood you like, the thickness you want, the colours you want it painted in, you can choose what handles or lights you want.
The fantasy starts in your mind and you can create a rough sketch, show it to a qualified custom furniture company and they will be able to talk you through it and advise you as to how best to make it a reality. See how to prepare drawings for a quote by clicking here.
Talking of custom furniture, bespoke, made to measure, fitted, built-in and tailor made are all words often seen together.
Because your furniture is bespoke, a good company will give you computer drawn, to scale plans of your dream bespoke furniture before you go ahead and build it, this is crucial, you can’t miss this step if you hope to get exactly what you want.
