I design and build bespoke
fitted furniture for homes across East Sussex and beyond — made to measure,
built to last, and designed around the way you actually live.
Every piece starts with a
conversation. Whether you have a clear vision or just a problem to solve, I'll
work with you to find the right solution for your space — considering
proportions, storage, materials and finish in equal measure.
Based in Hastings, I work from
my own workshop and handle every stage myself, from the initial design through
to the final fit.
Alcove Units Including Provision for TV
Beautifully considered alcove
units designed to sit alongside a period fireplace, with open shelving above and
bespoke cupboard doors below. The circular door detail was designed
specifically for this project, giving the piece its own identity while complementing
the character of the room. Every element was carefully proportioned to work
with the architecture rather than compete with it.
Home Bar and Drinks Storage with Wine Fridge
A striking bar unit designed to
make the best possible use of the available space. The design extends into the
alcove on one side and into a redundant fireplace opening on the other, with an
integrated wine fridge and the same distinctive circular door detailing seen
elsewhere in the house. A project that required careful planning and a clear
design vision — the result speaks for itself.
Kitchen Bench Seat, Storage and Display Unit
This storage and display unit
with a lift-up bench seat completely transformed a kitchen-diner that had
previously felt busy and short of storage. The bench provides additional hidden
storage, the display shelving adds character, and the whole piece brings a calm
sense of order to the room.
Beautiful Classic Kitchen
A really special kitchen, built
with birch ply carcases and hand-painted doors hung on traditional hinges.
Every detail was considered — from the proportions of each door panel to the
choice of hardware — resulting in a kitchen that feels both timeless and
entirely personal to the client.
"We couldn't be more
pleased with the work that Frank has done. It looks fantastic and I would
hugely recommend him to anyone considering something similar. Along with our
input, Frank designed floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and cupboards, incorporating
pull-out drawers for filing along with several other features, then built the
entire unit from scratch and installed it. Thank you."
Home Library and Study
A complete home library and
study, with floor-to-ceiling shelving running the full length of two walls and
a combination of open shelving and glazed cabinets on the third. The challenge
here was designing units that could hold a very large book and display
collection while keeping the room feeling open and workable as an everyday
study. Every shelf position was considered, and the glazed upper cabinets
provide a more formal display area for prized items.
Book Shelving and Media Unit
These shelving units were
designed to house a large collection of art books while also integrating the
television and hiding the DVD player and other equipment in the cupboard unit
below. The result is a room that feels calm and considered, with everything in
its place.
"Frank designed and
built bookshelves for us — working with him was a great experience and the
shelves look fantastic, exactly the way we had hoped for. Huge thanks!"
Twin Wardrobes and Dressing Table
A pair of wardrobes designed to
maximise hanging space, with upper cupboards for additional storage and
shaker-style doors throughout. A fitted top spanning between the two wardrobes
ties the whole scheme together and creates a cohesive, built-in look that a
freestanding solution simply can't achieve.
Home Office
A beautiful and practical home
office created within a client's hallway — a space that previously felt wasted.
The unit includes open display shelving, filing drawers, and a pull-out shelf
to conceal a printer, keeping the whole area neat and uncluttered. Proof that
even the most awkward spaces can be transformed with the right design.
"Frank is very professional and pays lots of attention to details. He focused on our requests and provided his advice in order to balance the look and usage of the alcove units. we are very happy with the finished job".
Cupboards and Bookshelves with Lighting
A client wanted a storage unit
running the full width of their lounge, and also wanted to introduce more
warmth into the room. We incorporated dimmable strip lighting throughout, which
transforms the feel of the space in the evenings and shows off the shelving to
its best.
Traditional Shaker-Style Cupboard and Shelf Unit
Designed to sit comfortably
within the character of a beautiful East Sussex cottage, this unit features
shaker-style doors hung on traditional butt hinges and adjustable shelves with
a classic saw-tooth fitting. Sometimes the most successful designs are the ones
that feel as though they've always been there.
"Frank was wonderful
and professional, and has done a remarkable job. We highly recommend."
Hall Storage
A client living in a large
Victorian flat needed to make the most of a narrow hallway. We designed and
built a bespoke cupboard to store coats, shoes and everyday essentials — making
a previously awkward space genuinely useful without compromising the character
of the building.
Matching Units Throughout the House — AlcoveUnits with Bespoke Door Design
Generously proportioned
bespoke shelving units, designed to house an extensive book collection and TV while
keeping the room feeling open and well-organised. Simple in concept, precise in
execution.
"Frank did a wonderful job fitting an ottoman cupboard for my son’s room, and also made use of a very awkward space in our loft room by fitting some bespoke drawers in its place. We were highly impressed with the quality of the furniture, and will definitely be getting in contact in the future for more bespoke fittings in the house!"
Unique Porch Storage Unit
A storage unit built to match other bespoke
joinery elsewhere in the house, and designed so that when the doors are closed
it reads as wall panelling. A clever solution that adds storage without
sacrificing the look of the space.
