Why Going Bespoke and Local Makes All the Difference

In a world of online checkouts and box-ticking kitchen planners, going bespoke — and going local — might feel like the longer route. But it’s the one that gets you somewhere better.

Because when you choose to work with a local business like mine, you're not just buying a kitchen or a wardrobe — you’re investing in your home, your town, and in people who care about what they make.

Made Just for You — Not Just “Made to Fit”

Bespoke means designed for your space, not squeezed into it. Whether it's a tricky alcove, an awkward corner, or a larder that needs to do more than just hold jars, I build furniture that actually works with how you live.

You’re not choosing from three sizes or finishes — you’re deciding what you need, and I make it happen.

Supporting Local at Every Step

When you work with me, you’re supporting:

  • A small, growing workshop in Frome

  • Two skilled local craftspeople

  • Timber and material suppliers from within the region

  • Other local creatives — from metalworkers to photographers — who I collaborate with

That’s money staying in the local economy, not disappearing into a corporate black hole.

Real Collaboration, Real People

You’re not working with a showroom sales rep. You’re working with the person who designs it, builds it, and installs it. That means:

  • You can talk through ideas in person

  • I bring material samples to your home

  • We can tweak as we go

  • You’ll always know who’s showing up at your door

That kind of relationship builds trust — and it leads to better results.

It’s Not Just a Kitchen — It’s a Commitment

To longevity. To materials that last. To quality over quantity.

Mass-produced furniture might look good on install day, but years down the line? It’s the solid timber, the handmade drawer boxes, and thoughtful design that still looks and feels right.
