We’re excited to introduce our new Bespoke Carpentry Range in London, where the focus is on traditional craftsmanship and on-site finishing. Each piece is built entirely from scratch using high-quality MDF or solid timber, carefully cut and assembled on site to fit your space perfectly.

Our skilled craftsmen and carpenters use hand-painted or spray-painted finishes to achieve a seamless, custom-made look. You can choose any colour for the exterior, and we’ll ensure the interior matches beautifully.

This method allows us to create truly bespoke furniture for a variety of spaces — lofts, alcoves, bedroom wardrobes, under-eaves storage, living room cabinets, bookcases, under-stairs units, and over-bed wardrobes, to name a few.

By combining traditional London carpentry services with modern design precision, we achieve exceptional results in both quality and appearance. It’s also a more flexible and often more affordable alternative to factory-manufactured bespoke furniture, without compromising on craftsmanship or style.

Our bespoke carpentry services are rooted in centuries-old traditions of British joinery, where every piece of custom-made furniture was crafted by hand and built to last for generations. Long before factory production, skilled carpenters in London relied on skill, precision, and a deep understanding of materials to create bespoke, made-to-measure furniture perfectly fitted to each home. We continue this legacy today — measuring, cutting, assembling, and painting every project on site, just as traditional cabinetmakers once did. By blending these time-honoured techniques with modern tools and design precision, we create furniture that feels both timeless and contemporary — built with care, designed for life.

Hand-Painted Bedroom Furniture & Wardrobes

Our hand-painted fitted wardrobes are fully custom-made, designed, and installed with absolute precision to fit perfectly into your bedroom. They are typically crafted from high-quality MDF, both internally and externally, and then hand-painted by our professional London carpenters after installation.

The biggest advantages of this bespoke carpentry method are the flawless fit, the seamless integration with your walls and ceiling, and the unlimited choice of colours, allowing you to achieve a truly custom finish that complements your home perfectly.

Traditional Hand-Painted Bespoke Alcove Wardrobes

Our traditional handcrafted alcove wardrobes combine classic bespoke carpentry craftsmanship with modern precision. Each custom-made piece is perfectly fitted into the alcoves of your bedroom or living room, maximising every inch of space.

For these projects, we use high-quality MDF or hardwood, which is hand-painted on site by our skilled carpenters and decorators. The result is a completely smooth finish, in any colour of your choice, and wardrobes that fit seamlessly into your walls — with no visible joints or gaps, just timeless quality and elegance.
