Bespoke Joinery:

What is it and why choose it?

 
 

‘Bespoke joinery’ describes any timber structure, large or small, that is designed and fabricated to precise specifications and individual requirements. This can include built-in shelving and cupboards, custom kitchens, staircases, windows and doors. The best bespoke joinery sits at the boundary between craftsmanship and art, a testament to the creativity and skill of its designer & maker.

At Shape London, we see every new commission as an opportunity to create something entirely new and unique, offering a truly bespoke concept-to-completion service that is tailored to reflect the personalities, lifestyles and unique characteristics of our clients.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Why choose bespoke joinery?

No luxury bespoke interior is complete without joinery that feels like a natural extension of its architecture. At Shape London, we create spaces that empower and inspire the end user, enhancing your practical experience of your home as well as looking beautiful. By choosing bespoke joinery for your interiors, you can ensure the level of attention to detail and craftsmanship that produces perfection.

 
 
 
 

Key benefits of bespoke joinery

Those who specialise in bespoke interior design understand the importance of joinery that reflects a client’s taste, personality and lifestyle requirements, as well as fitting seamlessly into the rest of the interior scheme. Bespoke joinery also gives you the ability to maximise storage and provide clever solutions to awkward spaces.

 
 
 
 

Made-to-measure

Procuring bespoke joinery for your interiors allows you to find innovative, intuitive solutions that integrate perfectly with the spaces & architecture of your home. For example, in our Lunar Kitchen, we designed and built an integrated kitchen and staircase that made optimal use of a double-height space. Precision and attention to detail were crucial in making a success of such a complex installation.

 
 

Fits seamlessly with your interior scheme

If you’ve invested in bespoke interior design, you’ll want your wardrobes, shelving and kitchen cabinets to realise the designer's vision. Whether you’re going for a minimal, contemporary look or something more traditional, joinery that’s out of sync with your overall scheme will look jarring. Material options are endless and only limited by the imagination of the designer.

In addition to timber, metal and specialist finishes, bespoke joinery can be finished in any colour of the rainbow, to ensure a harmonious palette. 

 
 

Attention to detail

There are lots of little solutions and innovations that help create the feeling of a truly bespoke luxury interior. Elements like customised drawer inserts, internal LED lighting, traditional joints such as dovetails, custom sizing, angled cabinetry that utilises under-eaves space and magic corner cabinets for tight/blind corners are all options that a good bespoke joinery company can offer you and that will make your home more functional as well as more beautiful.

 
 

Individuality

At Shape London, we aim to design, manufacture and install joinery that’s as unique as you are. The joy of bespoke joinery is that every little detail can be tailored precisely to the client, creating something that perfectly represents your tastes and lifestyle. If you have a clear idea in mind of the joinery you want, a bespoke joiner will be able to work with you to bring your imaginative vision to fruition.

 

Where to find experienced joiners

Both for environmental reasons and to help support small businesses, it is often a good idea to look locally when seeking a bespoke joiner. You may even be able to visit their workshop to see the craftsmen in action.

Look at their website and ask to see photographs of their recent projects, even ask to visit completed works, and assess whether their creative vision is a good match for yours.
