There is no better compliment than a new client saying, 'Our friends recommended you!'
This L-shaped bespoke wardrobe was built for a customer in Horsforth who knew exactly what they wanted: to maximise storage in an awkward corner while keeping the bedroom feeling comfortable and spacious.
I sat down with them to map out exactly where their longest clothes and folded linens would go, bringing their vision to life. Now, it’s in the hands of a professional decorator for those final touches.
Every detail of my bespoke furniture starts with a discussion to ensure it meets my customers' exact needs

I always love receiving photos from my customers once they’ve filled their furniture and it starts to look like it’s always been there!
​I particularly loved getting these ones because the design included a built-in bookcase and a "hidden den" for their daughter to hide away and read. Seeing the photos of her actually using the space is the best part of the job!
​This run of wardrobes was built into the eaves of a loft room, taking full advantage of the 1.1m depth to maximize every inch of storage.

Just finished up this run of wardrobes for a customer in Kirkstall.
Full-height Shaker doors to keep everything hidden away, but the real win is the internal layout—plenty of shelving and a dedicated spot for the ironing board to keep it off the floor.
It’s a massive amount of extra storage for a Leeds semi detached!

To all my customers, past and present: Thank you.
​Because of your support, I’ve been able to evolve my craft this year. You might have noticed a lot more built-in work on my feed lately—that’s been a conscious shift to focus on creating permanent, functional beauty in your homes.
​Whether it’s a slatted feature wall or a full media unit, I’ve loved every minute. And yes, I’m still happily taking on standalone furniture pieces when the project is the right fit!
​Wishing you all a wonderful New Year. See you in the workshop!

Better late than never!
​I’ve been so flat out on-site since late October that I’m only just getting a chance to sit down and share this project from a few weeks back.
​This was a great bedroom transformation here in Leeds. I designed and built bespoke wardrobes that wrap perfectly around the bathroom entrance to make sure no space went to waste.
​The highlight for me was the custom shelving unit finished with floor-to-ceiling slatted oak panelling. It’s a really effective way to split the room while keeping a high-end, modern look.
​I'm currently booking up fast for the new year, so if you’re planning a project, feel free to drop me a message!

The ultimate dining room unit! Finished and ready in its new home.
This isn't just a cabinet; it's a storage solution. We maximized space with a unique design that offers both hidden and display areas. Crafted using a mix of solid and veneered ash with painted MDF for durability and style. The veneer slatted acoustic panels on the central doors add a beautiful, modern texture and give the unit that perfect contemporary flair.

Just finished up these gorgeous bespoke bookcases for some lovely repeat customers in Cookridge!

​I crafted these using a beautiful combination of solid ash and veneered ash boards, finished with a rich dark oak stain. The result is a stunning, timeless piece that adds so much warmth to their home.

​I have one slot left for a project before Christmas, and I'm already taking bookings for the New Year! Drop me a message to chat about your dream furniture.

Biggest build to date

Just finished this huge media unit, complete with loads of storage space.
Built with melamine interiors, a solid ash worktop, and a mix of solid ash and oak veneered doors – combining durability with a quality, natural look.

Plenty of hidden storage, clean lines, and proper joinery throughout.
