Bespoke dining-room furniture in Finestrat

“This was our first made-to-measure project: a made-to-measure bookcase. We hoped to support a large book collection without making the whole wall feel heavy, but did not know which material or opening system made sense. Our property in Finestrat made coordination with new-build handovers part of the design rather than a delivery-day problem. Both were explained in ordinary language. We liked the lack of sales talk. Where standard hardware was sufficient, that is what they recommended.”

“The reason for ordering a wall of living-room storage was simple: we wanted to hide the router and cables while keeping books and a few objects visible. The solution was not simple, though. The local point that mattered in our case was coordination with new-build handovers. It changed one detail, but not the overall look. We were given two sensible routes, with the cost difference explained, and chose without feeling rushed. Nothing felt improvised on fitting day. Even the order in which the parts came into the room had been considered.”

“A bespoke sideboard sounded simple until we looked at the access and the existing services. We wanted to store tableware and glassware while keeping a clear surface for serving. The survey in Finestrat also picked up steep approaches, which had not been obvious in the photographs. Those constraints were dealt with in the drawings, so fitting day was calm and well organised. The finished piece feels integrated with the room rather than pushed into the available gap.”
