Custom Bedroom Furniture

The wall behind the bed sets the tone for the room. A panelled or upholstered headboard can extend to integrate bedside surfaces, reading lights and power, turning the bed into part of the architecture.

In the Garden Residence, timber wainscot wraps each bedroom at the same height as the headboards, tying rooms on different floors together.

Built-in wardrobes with flush fronts disappear into the wall; walk-in wardrobes become dressing rooms. Both are planned from an inventory of what needs to be stored, so every section has a purpose. See custom cabinetry for wardrobes and dressing rooms.

A window seat turns an awkward recess into the most loved place in a bedroom. With a stone or timber top, cushions and drawers beneath, it becomes a place to read, to look out and to store linen. In the Garden Residence, several bedrooms use stone-topped window seats framed by layered curtains.

Reading corners work in the same way: a comfortable chair, a small table and good light, planned from the beginning rather than added later.

Multigenerational homes ask different things of each bedroom. An elders’ suite may need a slightly higher bed, easy-to-reach storage and a dressing room close by; a child’s room may need a desk that grows with them; a guest room may need to double as a study. We plan each room for the people who will use it, while keeping the same palette throughout the house.

Bedrooms need layered light: soft, indirect light in the evening, focused reading light at the bed, and curtains that control morning light completely. Concealed lighting in wainscot or headboard panels gives a gentle glow without glare; blackout curtains behind a sheer layer let the room move from bright to dark. We plan these with the furniture so switches, sockets and fittings fall exactly where they are needed.
