BESPOKE FURNITURE & INTERIOR DESIGN

Our Process

From first conversation to finished space

We combine interior design expertise with bespoke furniture craftsmanship – every piece made to measure, every interior design project guided personally by Stan and Irene from concept to completion.

A process built around your home

Whether you’re commissioning a bespoke fitted wardrobe, a walk-in dressing room, a home office, or a complete interior transformation, our process stays the same: unhurried, precise, and deeply personal.

Every interior design project begins with listening and ends with handcrafted furniture installed exactly as designed – no compromises, no off-the-shelf solutions.

OUR PROCESS

From Concept to Delivery

1. INITIAL CONSULTATION

We begin with an in-depth conversation about your home, how you live in it, and what you need from your space. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch – just Stan and Irene taking the time to understand your vision, your practical requirements, and the character of your home. You’re welcome to visit our Warwick showroom to explore materials and finishes in person, or we can come to you.


2. ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS

Bespoke furniture must fit perfectly – and perfect fit begins with precise measurement. Our team surveys your space in detail, accounting for ceiling heights, skirting boards, coving, alcoves, pipework, and any architectural quirks that influence how the furniture will sit. This level of thoroughness is what separates truly bespoke from off-the-shelf furniture.


3. BESPOKE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Stan creates a tailored design for your approval – not a template with your measurements plugged in, but a solution conceived specifically for your space and lifestyle. You’ll receive detailed design drawings covering layout, door configurations, internal storage, material choices, and finishes. We refine together until the design is exactly right.


4. FABRICATION & QUALITY CRAFTMANSHIP

Once you’re happy with the design, our skilled craftsmen begin making your furniture to the exact approved specification. As a family business with over 30 years of experience, quality isn’t a badge we claim – it’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every single project, whether that’s a sliding wardrobe, a media wall, or a complete fitted home office.


5. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

We coordinate fitting around your schedule, keeping disruption to a minimum. Our installation team works cleanly and efficiently, treating your home with the same care we put into making the furniture. We don’t leave until everything is installed precisely, functioning perfectly, and looking exactly as you imagined.


6. INTERIOR STYLING (OPTIONAL)

For clients who’d like to go further, Irene offers interior styling to bring the whole room together. From paint colours and soft furnishings to lighting and accessories, she’ll help your new bespoke furniture sit beautifully within a cohesive, finished interior – making the most of your investment from every angle.

    We’re really happy with our built in wardrobes, shelves and home office. Cannot fault the whole process- from Stan’s designs to the professional fitting. Thank you.

    We have used Stan Matthews twice now, once was over 9 years ago at a previous house, they looked great the whole time we lived there (around 8 years) and more recently at our new house, the quality is top notch, builders were very friendly and professional, I'd much rather use these guys than a big national company any day. Thanks Stan and the team!

    Stan Matthews Design Studios in Warwick operate in an entirely different way to the majority of large players in the fitted wardrobe industry who won't quote a price and insist on a long home visit to give any idea of a how much a wardrobe will cost you. Stan Matthews Design Studios are competitive, and are entirely customer focussed. Stan listened to our ideas and guided us through the many options available to finalised the plan for our new wardrobes. He was able to quickly give a quote in a transparent way and there were no hidden fees. I was very impressed with the installation team who worked efficiently and tidily building the wardrobes on time and to our expectations. We were so impressed that we referred some friends to Stan Mathews (who ordered from Stan) and we have also ordered a further wardrobe ourselves. Great company, give them a chance to quote!

    Highly recommend The Stan Matthews Design Studio. Stan himself was very helpful at the beginning of the process, regarding design. My wardrobes were fitted on time and with extreme precision - which was not an easy task, because I have sloping walls and awkward angles. I had them fitted in two rooms and painting was required in one room. that was also completed professionally. Thank you.

    We were absolutely delighted with the new unit in our study which Stan tailored to our precise personal needs with the blend of bookshelves and draws being an ideal solution to our storage needs whilst also being a real statement piece of furniture, The icing on the cake was when Irene suggested colour drenching our study walls, ceiling and unit by painting them all in the same colour. The end result looks fantastic and we would highly recommend Stan Matthews Design to anybody looking at a similar project to ours.

    The team at Stan Matthews delivered a great set of built-in bedroom wardrobes for our house. Great consultancy and options were shared to get the design just the way we wanted it and the fit and craftsmanship of the end product is excellent.

    We chose Stan Matthews to refurbish our study earlier this year as we had heard nothing but excellent reviews about the company. They did not disappoint and Stan, himself, was fully involved in the project from start to finish. The quality of the finished product was superb and the whole process was extremely straightforward. I would thoroughly recommend this company

    Having used Stan to fit wardrobes in my barn conversion I knew the excellent quality of his work and he was my first choice when I moved. I had 3 bespoke pieces made; a tv media unit, a desk and a breakfast bar I wanted filling in with a cupboard and shelves. From the first design visit to the final fitting the whole team were professional, tidy and the finish was perfect. Stan really listened to what I wanted, make good design suggestions and followed through with good quality materials. I know from my wardrobes, which were fitted over 10 years ago, the furniture would wear well and look like new for many years. Great service all round, thank you.

    A quality fitted wardrobe installation. Very professional design service up front and took our concerns on board where needed to cut and carve an existing alcove. Installation was on time, efficient and without issues. The wardrobe remains a quality installation.

    KIND WORDS

    Professional & Patient

    Stan and his whole team were amazing at delivering our vision of a bespoke home office set up for my husband who required a stand up desk, and a complimentary pull out desk for my daughter, without spoiling the proportions of our Georgian-era room.

    From design to delivery, Stan was the ultimate (and very patient!) professional, and I would highly recommend him and his team for any bespoke home office design.
