Design & Commission Service

A simple process for you to bring your perfect restyled furniture to your home.

A bespoke furniture process that will create your perfect statement furniture

Create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly suits your style, personality and home aesthetic...

Commissioning me to create your bespoke furniture offers you a unique opportunity to transform your space with bespoke pieces that bring character and personality to truly reflect your style. By commissioning the transformation of an item of vintage furniture allows you to take advantage of the timeless craftsmanship and quality materials that are often lacking in modern-day furniture production and create a statement with a customised finish and style to your exact specifications.

The Process...

Design Consultation & Briefing

I love meeting clients virtually, seeing your schemes, discussing colours and pattern ideas and then watching as your excitement rises upon realising how we can work together to design and create a beautiful centrepiece for your home.

If you’re interested in commissioning your own unique item of furniture, that’s exactly what we’ll do first.

We will discuss size, and any specific functionality you want to cater for or item of furniture you have in mind.

As a result of that discussion, we will confirm the total investment and order.

Furniture Sourcing & Commission

The second stage of the process is sourcing the furniture. I have a stock of ‘naked’ or unfinished furniture that you can select from. You can browse Naked Furniture for commission to see the range.

If you see something you like and would like to reserve it then you can secure it with a deposit and I will be in touch straight away to book a design consultation.

Equally if you’ve found some inspiration in the furniture ready for commission, I’m happy to source something similar. All requests are welcome and I can give you a choice of up to 3 items as part of the commission process.

Creating The Vision

The next key stage of the design and commissioning process is when you will receive a concept board showing how all of the separate elements of the design will come together. You will be able to see sample sticks of paint and metallics so that we can ensure we select the right colours.

Furniture Transformation

The next step in the process is the actual furniture transformation itself. I love it when the design starts to take shape as I remove the old finishes and apply the new ones.

I’ll keep in touch with progress and reach out to you for any additional design decisions. The design often evolves as your new furniture starts to take shape and some customers prefer me to take the design decisions, which I’m more than happy to do.

Furniture Packaging & Delivery

Lastly, once the furniture transformation has taken place, the restyled furniture will be dispatched and will be yours to enjoy!

I’m passionate about ensuring that the delivery process is as seamless and easy as the rest of my service. Where possible I use environmental friendly packaging. I use a trusted courier based locally in The Midlands who is also passionate about great service and good communication.

TESTIMONIALS

Praise for my bespoke commission service

"It felt like a bit of a gamble asking somebody to source and paint a bespoke unit, but boy did it pay off! Liz was a delight from the start, she worked hard to find the piece that was right for the house, and then gave us design ideas. We could not be happier with the outcome. The quality of her work is excellent, and we’ve had loads of compliments. Very fair pricing. Can’t recommend highly enough
Thanks Liz!"
