Some frequently asked questions about our bespoke furniture design service
-
Bespoke furniture is designed and built exclusively for your home, so every millimetre, material and finish is tailored to your brief. Unlike flat-pack or “one-size” options, custom pieces maximise storage, fit awkward alcoves or loft eaves perfectly and use higher-grade craftsmanship—giving you a seamless look that lasts for decades. Because it is purpose-built, bespoke joinery also protects your resale value by adding a premium, fitted feel to the property
-
Budgets vary with size, materials and complexity, but recent UK benchmarks put entry-level bespoke items such as upholstered footstools at around £950, while statement TV/media walls can reach £8,000 or more. For fitted wardrobes in London, expect a starting guide of ≈ £2,600 per linear metre (drawers about £150 each). Timber species, specialty finishes, integrated lighting and installation access will all influence the final quote.
-
After your design consultation and sign-off (usually 1-3 weeks), the typical UK manufacturing lead time is 3 – 8 weeks for most custom cabinetry. Complex pieces—such as glazed or fire-rated elements—can extend to 6 – 12 weeks because they require additional sourcing, certification and hand-finishing. Your Akiva designer will lock in a realistic timeline with our fabricators before you place the order
-
Absolutely. Whether it’s an under-stairs shoe cabinet, a wall-to-wall media unit or a walk-in wardrobe following a sloped ceiling, bespoke joinery is measured and cut to the exact contours of your room. Our designers can create 3-D visuals and technical drawings so the finished piece lines up with existing cornices, skirting and colour palettes, giving you a “built-with-the-house” finish
