My wife and I are just about to relocate to the seaside, Lyme Regis in fact, and I will be looking to develop my bespoke fitted furniture contacts in that neck of the woods.
Dorset has a very long tradition of artisan craftsmen, Thomas Hardy’s family were carpenters, roofers and bricklayers, Mary Anning’s father was a cabinet maker and John Makepiece, possibly England’s finest living furniture maker, is based at Parnham House near Beaminster so, as you would expect, the county is full of individual bespoke furniture makers turning out fine quality hand-crafted real wood furniture.
However, I’ll warrant that most of that craftsmanship finds its way out of Wessex and is gracing boardrooms and grand houses throughout the UK and worldwide.
So what can Options Fitted Furniture bring to the party? Options fill a unique niche in the home furnishing market by offering good quality, middle price range, custom made bedroom, home study and living room cabinetry at prices that are competitive with mass production manufacturers but with the flexibility of one-off production, making every installation unique and special without costing the earth.
All the big name players in this industry are active in Dorset and the county is well served by makers of fine quality bespoke furniture but for thousands of west country home makers who struggle to make their aspirations fit their budgets the Options’ method might just fit the bill.
