Choosing the right approach
Bespoke joinery works best when internal use is defined as carefully as the external appearance. List the objects to store, establish hanging and shelf heights and coordinate power for lighting or charging. Large doors, wall panels and integrated appliances need access and installation space. Approve a drawing and physical finish sample before manufacture.
What the specification should cover
- Storage inventory and dimensions
- Joinery drawings and samples
- Hinges, handles and internal fittings
- Integrated light and power
- Delivery, fitting and adjustments
Questions about bespoke joinery & wardrobes
When is bespoke joinery measured for manufacture?
Coordinate initial dimensions during design, then confirm the agreed final measuring stage with the maker. Floor, wall and ceiling finishes can affect dimensions. Approve drawings, materials and hardware before production starts.
What should be coordinated behind fitted cupboards?
Check sockets, lighting, ventilation and any valves or equipment that must remain accessible. Draw service openings and cable routes before manufacture. A clean appearance should still allow practical use, adjustment and maintenance.
