Made to fit or shop-bought: what is the difference?

Shop-bought furniture comes in standard sizes. Rooms rarely do. Slopes, chimney breasts, alcoves and uneven walls all leave gaps that standard units cannot fill.

Made to fit

Measured on site and built to the room, wall to wall and floor to ceiling
Follows sloping ceilings, alcoves and awkward corners
You choose the inside: hanging, drawers, shelves, lighting
Designed, made and fitted by one team, with a 10-year guarantee

Shop-bought

Standard widths and heights that stop short of the walls and ceiling
Gaps and filler strips that collect dust and waste space
Fixed layouts you adapt your belongings to
Usually cheaper to buy, with quality that varies

The result of fitting to the room is more usable storage from the same floor space, a cleaner finish and furniture that looks like part of the house. Ask for a free quotation and we will show you what your room could hold.

Compare wardrobes in a loft bedroomMade to fitShop-bought

Example: a loft bedroom wall. Shop-bought wardrobes stop where the ceiling slopes. A fitted unit follows it, wall to wall and floor to ceiling.

From survey to fitted

One team looks after the whole job, from the first measure to the last handle.

Visit and survey
We measure the room, talk through how you use it and check the walls, ceilings and services.
Design
You get drawings of every unit, with materials and finishes. Nothing is made until you have signed them off.
Make
We build each piece in our Poole workshop to the signed drawings, in any size the room needs.
Fit
Our team installs the furniture and checks every detail before the job is finished.

What you can expect

Bespoke means built to your exact requirements. If you can describe it, we can build it.

We use the best materials and fixings we can source, and we manufacture in the UK.
A 10-year guarantee
We guarantee the furniture we supply against manufacturing defects for 10 years after the work is completed.
Made for you
