Luxury Bespoke Furniture In London: Why I Chose Smithers

Kensington’s been good to me, and I’ve made it my base for the last twenty years, and in that time, I’ve refitted every room at least twice. Kitchens, studies, lounges, snug rooms—you name it, we’ve done it. And if there’s one thing I won’t compromise on now, it’s furniture. Not click the up coming post mass-market stuff. I’m talking proper made-to-measure design, built by people who understand detail—and that’s where Smithers UK absolutely shine.

I like that they work with independent workshops, but I also like that they’re approachable. You want a steel and brass bookshelf that curves into a corner? They’ll sketch it up in two days. You need leather that smells like an old Bentley interior?

Done. I’ve sent friends to them in Mayfair and Holland Park and every single one
