If you’re looking for furniture that will not only be functional but also unique and beautiful, bespoke timber furniture might be the way to go, however, buying it can seem like a daunting task. Here in our latest article is a buyers guide to commissioning bespoke furniture.
1. Identify the type of furniture you want
The beauty of bespoke furniture is that it can be designed to meet any specific need or style preference, but it’s important to have a clear idea of what you want before getting started.
Typically these could include:
- Tables (dining tables, coffee tables, side tables)
- Chairs (dining chairs, armchairs, lounge chairs)
- Shelving units (bookcases, display units)
- Cabinets (media cabinets, storage cabinets, dressers)
- Beds (platform beds, four-poster beds, reclaimed wood beds)
- Desks (writing desks, standing desks, executive desks)
- Benches (entryway benches, garden benches, indoor/outdoor benches)
- Kitchen islands (butcher block islands, custom-built islands)
- Doors (entry doors, interior doors, sliding barn doors)
- Custom-built built-ins (fireplace surrounds, window seats, storage boxes)
2. Determine your needs and budget
Once you know what you want, consider how much you’re willing to spend and your specific requirements. This will help you communicate with potential suppliers more effectively and avoid any unexpected costs.
3. Find a reputable and experienced supplier
Do thorough research and look for suppliers that have experience in creating bespoke furniture. Check reviews and ask for references if possible. A reputable supplier will ensure quality workmanship and materials.
4. See examples of the joiner’s work
Before hiring a supplier, ask to see examples of their previous work. This will give you a good idea of their style and quality of work.
5. Ask questions
Don’t hesitate to ask questions about materials, design, and the production process. A good supplier will be happy to answer all your queries and provide all the information you need.
