Whether you're looking for a quirky bookcase to fit into an awkward alcove or would like to optimise your storage solutions to suit your home, bespoke joinery could be the answer. Made-to-measure designs maximise the potential of your space and create standout items that are one of a kind. You probably don't need telling that bespoke joinery is generally more expensive than ready-made furniture. Knowing what the bespoke approach can offer will help you justify spending the extra cash, if you decide to.
WHAT IS BESPOKE JOINERY?
‘Bespoke joinery is any type of timber structure that is created to specific requirements and sizes to fit an individual space,’ explains Tim Warren, joinery expert at Adkwik (adkwik.co.uk). It involves building customised timber items from scratch, to suit the unique dimensions, position and shape of a certain space, with custom-made tweaks that standard, off-the-shelf furniture won’t have in terms of design and precision fit. It can create really beautiful pieces of furniture that you won’t see anywhere else.
