The Timeline for Bespoke Furniture: Ensuring a Smooth Journey from Design to Delivery
Creating bespoke furniture is an exciting process that transforms your ideas into beautifully crafted, custom-made pieces. However, the journey requires careful planning and time to ensure perfection. At Dogan London, we understand the importance of managing every step smoothly, whether you’re designing a single sofa or furnishing an entire commercial space.
If you’re working on a tight schedule or want to avoid disappointment, understanding the time involved in each stage—from choosing materials to delivery—is essential. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline and how our expertise as bespoke furniture makers ensures seamless project management.
1. Understanding the Timeline for Bespoke Furniture
Material Selection and Design Approval (1-2 Weeks)
The first step in creating bespoke furniture is selecting materials and finalizing the design. This is where your vision begins to take shape.
•Key Factors to Consider:

- What materials suit the aesthetic and functional requirements? (e.g., hardwood, metal, or durable outdoor fabrics)
- What finishes and details will enhance the design?
Dogan London’s team offers expert guidance, ensuring you choose materials and finishes that match your preferences and practical needs.
Measurements and Technical Drawings (1-2 Weeks)
Accurate measurements and detailed shop drawings are critical for bespoke furniture. These ensure your custom-made furniture fits perfectly into your space, whether it’s a luxury residential property or a commercial project.
Why This Step is Crucial:
- Avoids costly mistakes or misfits.
- Ensures all dimensions are functional and proportionate.
