At Thomas Matthew we are a bespoke furniture company on a mission…

To build visually stunning free standing & bespoke furniture. Our dedicated team design and build a wide range of furniture specific to your style and taste. We can build anything you can imagine so please give us a call to discuss your ideas & allow us to make your handmade furniture come to life.

Bespoke Furniture Handmade in Dorset

All of our bespoke furniture is lovingly handmade by our team of skilled joiners based in Poole, Dorset. We mix traditional and modern cabinet making techniques to ensure we always supply you with the best possible furniture. Whether we’re building you custom shelves, radiator cabinets or some handmade furniture, we take the same care to ensure we produce you the best quality products possible.

Where we work: we deliver and fit our furniture across Poole, including Parkstone, Broadstone, Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks, and in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Ferndown, as well as further afield in Dorset and Hampshire.

To maximise your home’s available space, bespoke furniture is the perfect choice. We build our custom cabinetry to fit perfectly and utilise even the most awkward of spaces. So instead of compromising why not treat yourself to some custom handmade furniture? Uniquely designed to your style, tastes and home decor. Stop shopping around for that perfect piece. Let’s design it together.

Testimonials

"I have now completed 7 projects with Thomas Matthew. As a busy interior designer I need to work with trades I can trust, who are thoughtful and courteous to my clients, deliver on time, within budget and exceed expectations. All of this and more can be said of this company. Matthew never fails to understand that the work they are doing for me is generally only part of a much bigger project and any slippage in timing affects other trades and the schedule in general, this is a rare quality. He and the guys he employs all did their apprenticeships together, they have therefore worked as a team for years, are a known quantity and perform as a finely oiled machine. My professional life became a whole lot easier the day I employed Matthew. We already have more projects in the pipeline and I could not feel more confident that they will continue to deliver the fabulous work myself and my clients demand. Val Plummer At No 19 Interiors"
"We are so pleased with the quality of the new handmade cupboards which have transformed our lounge. As the units were built off site, this helped to keep any disruption and time spent fitting them to a minimum. The workmen were professional, polite and respectful in our home at all times."
"I had Thomas Matthew build me a beautiful handmade kitchen. The look and quality of the workmanship was perfection. The kitchen was a traditional in frame style kitchen, hand painted in French grey with Corian worktops. I could not be happier and would highly recommend this company."

Bespoke furniture: your questions answered

What furniture can you make?

Fitted and freestanding furniture for any room: bookcases, home office desks, radiator cabinets, shelving and pieces made for awkward corners, each one designed around how you live and made to measure.

What materials do you work with?

Solid wood, veneers and MDF, in a painted or natural wood finish. Our painting is done in-house, by spray or by hand, in colours from the likes of Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Dulux.

How much does bespoke furniture cost?

It depends on the size of the piece, the materials and finish, and how much of it is drawers, doors or shelving. Send us a sketch or a photo of the space, or a picture of something you like, with rough sizes, and we will give you a guide price before anyone visits.

How does it work?

Once the guide price suits your budget, we arrange a free design consultation, measure up, show you the design in 3D and give you a fixed price before anything is made. Your furniture is then made in our workshop in Poole.

Do you deliver and fit it?

Yes. Our own team delivers your furniture and fits it in your home.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. We guarantee our furniture against defects in manufacture for 10 years after the work is completed, and the hinges and runners also carry their manufacturer’s own guarantee. The full terms are in our terms and conditions.
