Fitted Furniture in 2023

It must be a trend or something like that but 2023 has a more than usual amount of fitted furniture. I don’t mind it, I could be doing with a bigger workshop for some of it but between my place and Lewis’s place we get it done.

I’ll add a few pictures here and there of past cabinets/fitted furniture we’ve done. Above is a solid oak in-frame/face frame kitchen with a butt hinge. I like seeing the hinges but I’m not sure it’s super popular now, or it might just be easier doing a concealed hinge. I don’t think it’s much different time/skill wise though.

This one was part of a house renovation. Pretty colourful. I don’t think I’ve done one before or since with as many colours. It suited the folks of the house though. And fluted glass is nice. I’d use it wherever I could.

Above is another face frame/in-frame kitchen. Done in a hardwood with oak veneered birch plywood cabinets, solid oak top and arabescato marble on the island. This was a cutting of marble that came from the stuff used in the Gleneagles Hotel renovation a few years ago. We didn’t do any work there but I knew the guy supplying the marble. I like real materials. I don’t see the point in not buying legit stuff, there’s enough bullshit out there. Spend the dough, it’ll save you in the long run!

This is the same kitchen renovation as the orange wall cabinet a few pictures up. The face frame is a different shade to the doors/drawers. I don’t really like to say “not possible” I suppose everything’s possible, it’s just a bit more expensive.

Above was a drawer insert for cutlery and what have you fora kitchen. I’m pretty sure this was the same kitchen from the first photo.

So just a note on some stuff coming up for 2023. If you’re looking for a handmade kitchen, fitted furniture or any sort of house renovation you can get in touch. I’m going to add in words for google to find me, words like Argyll & Bute, Handmade kitchen, bespoke wardrobes near Glasgow, Helensburgh, Lochgoilhead, Kitchen renovation.

My apologies, always, for the flagrant use of my limited marketing buget of zero.

(I heard that people that there’s a lot of people in Newton Mearns looking for wardrobes. It sounds weird but two different guys told me they had been asked when doing other work because no one makes wardrobes there. So I’ll Add handmade bespoke wardrobes Newton Mearns in here and my marketing strategy of doing this for the google thing to find me should work)
