Designing and making a bespoke dressing room is quite a daunting task, it can be such a luxury item and treat to have a space to pamper yourself. Big ideas grow into big expectations from our clients, but these do not always lead to a design that will work in the long run.

Tables of any shape and size are what cabinet makers love to make, if a need for a table is mentioned within earshot the excitement is palpable!! To say I was a little excited about be commission to design and make two bespoke beside tables and a dressing table only goes a short way.

We were approached to make this bespoke bar area for a hotel by Woodcote Projects in Epsom. The Denham Grove is a 4 star hotel resort in Uxbridge, with some beautifully designed interiors, so we really enjoyed the challenge of making something that looks very striking, whilst also being durable enough to withstand the ever present hotel guests.

We made this bespoke solid Oak trestle table for our customer in Cowfold, to replicate a table they have in their holiday home in France. He provided us with photos of the table he wanted replicating, from which we were able to scale off. Producing drawings and a made to measure bespoke product.

This customer based in West Sussex came to us to create a bespoke alcove unit to incorporate their love of their vinyl records into their home. The customers let us know that this was their dream home and planned on staying a very long time, so they wanted the build quality of handmade furniture.

This bespoke wardrobe was made for a customer in Haywards Heath, who had recently had a loft
conversion. As is usually the case with loft conversions, people want to make the most of the space available, however, this can be a bit tricky within the eaves of the house. As you can see nothing but a bespoke piece of furniture would have worked within this room. We have been able to create hanging space, shelves and drawers and even creating a little cupboard in the area above the drawers, that would otherwise be lost space. 

We fitted a bespoke solid oak ledge (batten, if you are in the north) door wardrobe this week, in a lovely old cottage in Crowbourugh, East Sussex. The left side of the unit goes into an alcove making the unit double depth, giving shelving in the back and plenty of space in the front. 

Earlier this year we made and fitted a beautiful walk in wardrobe. The black Oak combined with the natural colour of the interior gives this dressing room a sleek and sharp finish. There were several specifications from the customer, including slanted shoes shelves and shoes drawers, along with lots of hanging space. We also designed and made the mirror, dressing table and stool for this room. Find the images in our gallery.
