Materials that shape the design
Bespoke furniture materials and finishes
A material decides how a piece of furniture reads in a room long before anyone opens a door. Depending on the project, designs may incorporate timber, hand-painted finishes, stone, glass, mirror, metal detailing and lighting built into the joinery. These pages set out how each is used, where it works and what it asks of the design.
Timber
Oak, stained oak, walnut and timber cabinetry, where grain and tone carry the design.
Bespoke oak furniture
Oak furniture with visible grain and natural variation, designed to sit alongside stone, metal, glass and painted finishes.
Stained oak furniture
Oak with its tone adjusted through staining, keeping the grain visible while suiting darker or warmer interior schemes.
Bespoke walnut furniture
Richer, darker grain used within wardrobe interiors, alcove shelving, wine walls and slatted panelling.
Bespoke timber cabinetry
Full-height and wall-to-wall timber cabinetry across libraries, media units, wardrobes, offices and bars.
Painted finishes
Hand-painted cabinetry, colours developed to suit the room, and dark or neutral schemes.
Painted cabinetry
Hand-painted cabinetry in shaker and flat-panel styles, designed to sit correctly within the room it furnishes.
Colour-matched furniture
Coordinating painted cabinetry with the paint references, walls and woodwork already established in a room.
Dark cabinetry
Deep painted tones and dark stained timber, used with lighting and contrast considered from the outset.
Neutral fitted furniture
Warm neutrals and soft greys, designed to sit quietly within a room rather than compete with it.
Stone, glass and mirror
Stone feature panels, glazed display cabinetry and reflective surfaces.
Marble media walls
Book-matched marble media walls, with television and fireplace surrounds set into stained oak joinery and lighting.
Stone feature cabinetry
Fitted joinery designed to meet and support stone, in media walls, bars, kitchens, sideboards and feature walls.
Glass display cabinets
Glazed and LED-lit display cabinetry designed around what is being shown, from glassware and books to wine and collections.
Mirrored cabinetry
Mirrored doors, antique mirror bar backs and lit mirrored shelving, designed to add depth and reflected light.
Detail and form
The details that give a piece its character: fluting, panelling, handleless fronts, lighting and floating cabinetry.
Fluted cabinetry
A vertical, reeded texture used on drawer fronts, feature panels and furniture fronts to add depth without pattern.
Panelled cabinetry
Shaker, flat and decorative panel doors, and wall panelling integrated with fitted cabinetry, made in our Derbyshire workshop.
Handleless cabinetry
Clean, handle-free fronts across kitchens, media furniture, storage and offices, with integrated pulls and recessed handle rails.
Integrated lighting
LED shelf, display and wardrobe lighting designed into cabinetry from the outset, with connection carried out by a qualified electrician.
Floating cabinetry
Wall-mounted television units, display shelving and storage, designed to appear to float clear of the floor.
Design language
Contemporary and traditional approaches to fitted furniture.
Contemporary bespoke furniture
A contemporary design language of clean lines, integrated hardware and dark cabinetry, for any home rather than any one type of property.
Traditional fitted furniture
A traditional design language of panelled doors, Shaker influences, cornices and painted timber, suited to almost any home.
Specifying with us
Materials are agreed as part of the design, not chosen at the end. Every project is drawn, specified and approved before anything is made, so the finish, hardware, lighting and any stone or glass elements are recorded alongside the dimensions.
Architects, interior designers and developers can see how that documentation works on our pages for professionals, including materials and finishes in a specification and technical drawings. The sequence from design to installation is set out on our process.
