subject: Why Bespoke Furniture Can Make Sense [print this page] When it comes to bedroom design, the old saying rings true: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The bedroom is one of the rooms in your house you spend most time in. It should be a place of relaxation and of retreat, and the right fitted bedroom furniture can go a long way towards creating a haven for you, and for your partner.
But it can be a difficult thing to get right. It seems like there's any number of ways to approach the problem, and no way to know which is best for you. Of course, there's no shortage of advice on the TV or in the print media - no lack of bedroom design inspiration or offers on the latest space-saving devices. It can take a huge investment of time and effort, though, to find the right bedroom design for you. Such an important decision doesn't come easy. And even when you've settled on the final look you want to achieve in your bedroom, finding the right furniture, piece by piece, to fit exactly into the room, can be a long and frustrating process.
It doesn't have to be that way. Why rely on finding each piece of furniture to fit your chosen design when you can have the whole bedroom fitted? Fitted furniture is furniture that naturally makes the most of the space available in the room - and it can be amazing to see the difference it makes. In a bedroom design the makes the most of the existing space in the room, fitted bedroom furniture can seem to create storage space where there was none before, and that means that the rest of the bedroom will be uncluttered. Sliding doors and hidden drawers can be fitted exactly to maximise storage space without compromising the design of the bedroom. It's the perfect solution - more storage in a room that looks elegant and free of mess.
Every bedroom is unique, and so the furniture that is fitted into it should be unique, too. Often, it can be the bedroom with the most character that is the most difficult to find the right furniture for, and that's where genuinely bespoke fitted bedroom furniture can be the answer. Furniture that is made to measure, that is fitted exactly to the room itself, enhances the features of any room rather than obscuring them. Any good design for a room, especially for a bedroom, should be a design that unites the whole room, not just a single piece of furniture at a time. The best way to do that is to use furniture that has been tailored to the task.
The word 'bespoke' is no doubt one that you've heard a lot - often it will be misleading, but a genuinely bespoke product is one that is literally tailored to your needs at every step of the process of creating it. That's never more true than with fitted bedroom furniture. Every home is different, and every bedroom in that home is unique in turn. It follows that each bedroom needs a unique furniture solution to look its best. Fitted furniture can only be made with close co-operation between the customer and the joiner: the furniture is typically made using techniques that are traditional exactly because they are the simplest, most intuitive solutions to the problems posed by any design. True fitted furniture does not mean taking standard pieces and fitting them into a bedroom. True fitted design means working with the customer to create a unique and thoughtful way of using the space within a bedroom to create a place that is comfortable, practical and beautiful.
Bespoke means more than just furniture that fits together. Bespoke means a co-operation between a furniture maker and a customer to create fitted furniture that enhances a bedroom instead of just filling it. For a bedroom that feels spacious and looks effortlessly beautiful, furniture that is made to measure, and fitted exactly, is the first and last step.
