Choosing bespoke furniture is an exciting journey that transforms your personal style and functional needs into beautifully crafted pieces. At Dogan London , we specialize in custom furniture that seamlessly blends aesthetics and functionality, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key considerations for designing bespoke furniture—from dimensions and materials to fabrics and timelines—so you can make informed decisions for your home or commercial space. 1. Start With Your Space: Getting the Dimensions Right One of the biggest advantages of bespoke furniture is its ability to fit perfectly into your space. Here’s how to ensure the right proportions: Measure Twice, Create Once – Take precise measurements of the area to avoid furniture that’s too large or too small. Consider Proportions – Sleek designs work well in small rooms, while bold, statement pieces suit larger spaces. Accessibility – Ensure the furniture can be easily moved through doorways, hallways, or staircases. At Dogan London , our designers work closely with you to create furniture that fits flawlessly into your home or business. 2. Choosing the Right Materials for Durability & Style Materials define the look, feel, and longevity of your furniture. The best choice depends on whether your piece is for indoor or outdoor use. Indoor Furniture Materials Wood – Solid oak, walnut, and birch for timeless elegance. Metal Accents – Brushed brass or powder-coated steel for a modern touch. Glass – Tempered glass for a sleek, airy aesthetic. Outdoor Furniture Materials Teak & Iroko Wood – Naturally weather-resistant and durable. Aluminum & Stainless Steel – Lightweight yet strong, ideal for harsh conditions. Synthetic Wicker – Low-maintenance with the charm of natural rattan. We source only the finest materials to ensure your furniture stands the test of time. 3. Fabric Selection: Comfort Meets Aesthetics The right fabric enhances both comfort and style. Here’s how to choose: Indoor Fabrics Velvet – Luxurious and soft, perfect for formal seating. Linen – Light and breathable, great for casual spaces. Leather – Durable and timeless, ideal for high-traffic areas. Outdoor Fabrics Solution-Dyed Acrylics – UV-resistant and fade-proof. Waterproof & Stain-Resistant Options – Easy to clean and maintain. Removable Covers – Convenient for outdoor settings. Our extensive fabric range ensures you’ll find the perfect match for your needs. 4. Indoor vs. Outdoor Furniture: Key Differences While indoor furniture prioritizes aesthetics and comfort, outdoor furniture must withstand the elements. Indoor Focus – Plush textures, refined finishes, and cohesive interior design. Outdoor Focus – Weatherproof materials, easy maintenance, and functionality. At Dogan London , we balance these priorities to create furniture that excels in any environment. 5.
