We’ve gathered the answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often about our fitted furniture.

1. About Fitted Furniture

1. Are bespoke, made to measure, built in, custom made and fitted furniture all the same thing?

Yes, these terms are often used interchangeably to describe furniture that’s designed and built to fit your exact space and needs. Whether you call it “fitted” or “bespoke,” the idea is the same. It’s custom made to maximise your room’s potential and match your style perfectly.

2. What is fitted furniture?

Fitted furniture is custom made to fit the exact dimensions of your room, maximizing storage and making the most of every inch of space.

3. Which areas do you cover?

We provide bespoke fitted furniture throughout Bromley, Kent, and the surrounding areas, including Beckenham, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Keston, Orpington, Sidcup, Bexley, Dulwich, Sevenoaks, Surrey, and more. If you’re not sure whether we service your area, please send us a message, we’re happy to help.

4. How is fitted furniture different from freestanding furniture?

Freestanding furniture comes in fixed sizes and can leave gaps or wasted space. Fitted furniture is made to measure, designed to fit your exact room dimensions perfectly for a seamless, integrated look.

5. What kind of furniture do you make?

We create fitted wardrobes, kitchens, alcove units, bookcases, media walls, TV media units, home offices, under stairs storage, and more.

6. Do you only make fitted furniture?

While we specialise in bespoke fitted furniture, we also design and build custom freestanding pieces made to order, perfect for those who want unique furniture without permanent installation.

7. Do you work on awkward spaces or sloped ceilings?

Yes, we specialise in tricky layouts, unusual angles, and uneven walls, such as lofts, alcoves, and under stairs spaces.

8. Can fitted furniture increase the value of my home?

Yes. Well designed fitted furniture adds both functionality and style, which can be appealing to future buyers.

2. Design & Customisation

9. Can I see examples of your previous work?

Absolutely! We showcase a portfolio of completed projects on our website and Instagram page.

10. What happens if I’m not happy with the design?

We work closely with you during the design stage and make adjustments until you’re 100% happy before production begins.

11. Can I customize the style and colour?

Absolutely! We offer a wide range of design styles to perfectly complement your home. Plus, our colour choices are virtually unlimited, we can match our paint finishes to all the major colour charts like Dulux, Farrow & Ball, and more.

12. Can you match my existing furniture or colour scheme?

In most cases, yes we can source materials and finishes to complement what you already have.

3. Process & Timeline

13. How does the design process work?

Step 1: Free consultation to discuss your needs and give an estimated cost.

Step 2: Site visit for precise measurements, style choices, and questions.

Step 3: 3D design for you to review and approve.

Step 4: Production and installation.

14. How long does the process take?

From final design approval, most projects take 6 to 12 weeks to manufacture and install, depending on size, complexity, and our current schedule. Smaller or more straightforward jobs may be completed sooner. For particularly large or complex projects, the timeline may extend beyond 12 weeks, and we’ll discuss this with you during the design phase.

15. Will there be a lot of mess and disruption during installation?

We aim to keep disruption minimal. Most installations take 1–3 days, and we tidy up at the end of each day.

16. Do you remove old furniture?

Yes, we can arrange removal and disposal if required.

4. Costs & Payments

17. How much does fitted furniture cost?

Prices vary depending on size, materials, and complexity. After your design consultation, we’ll give you a fixed, no obligation quote.

18. Do you require a deposit?

Yes, we always require a deposit to secure your order. Depending on the size and cost of the project, the remaining balance may be split into staged payments throughout the process, with the final payment due upon completion.

19. Do you offer finance options?

No, we currently do not offer finance options.

5. Aftercare & Materials

20. What materials do you use?

We work with high quality timber, veneers, melamine faced MDF, moisture resistant MDF and premium paint finishes to ensure long lasting results.

21. How should I care for my fitted furniture?

For general cleaning, use a soft microfiber cloth to dust your furniture. For stubborn marks, wipe gently with a damp cloth, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to keep the finish looking its best.

22. What if I need adjustments later?
