Bespoke Kitchens, Furniture & Joinery by Williams Ridout

Our handmade kitchens are designed around the room, the architecture and the way the kitchen will be used. Each is made to order in our North London workshop, giving us the freedom to work with different layouts, materials and details from one project to the next.

We consider everything from the overall proportions and layout to the materials, internal storage and smaller details, making each kitchen specifically for the room it belongs in.

​

The result is a kitchen that works properly, uses the available space well and feels at home within the wider interior.

Joinery Details

Much of what makes a piece of furniture work well comes down to the details. The way a handle is formed, how two materials meet, the construction of a drawer or the way lighting is incorporated can all make a significant difference.

This is a closer look at some of those details from our recent work, including cabinetry, drawer interiors, handles, materials, hardware and finishes.

Our bespoke furniture ranges from individual freestanding pieces to fitted joinery and more extensive schemes across several rooms. We work on projects of very different scales, designing and making everything from libraries and studies to display cabinetry, home bars and one-off pieces.

Working in timber, veneers, metal, stone and a wide range of painted and specialist finishes gives us considerable freedom in how each piece is designed and made.

Everything is made to order, allowing the proportions, materials, internal layout and smaller details to be developed specifically for the room and its intended use.

Client Thoughts

The relationships we build with our clients are an important part of what we do.

​

You can read individual reviews throughout our project pages, and if you would like to discuss a project of your own, we would be very happy to hear from you.

Our handmade wardrobes are designed around the individual, their clothing, their routines and the room they belong in. Made to order in our North London workshop, they can range from traditional fitted wardrobes to contemporary cabinetry and complete walk-in dressing rooms.

The internal layout is planned around what needs to be stored, making good use of the available space without adding unnecessary cabinetry. Hanging space, drawers, shelving, lighting and smaller storage details can all be tailored to suit.

​

Externally, the wardrobes can be designed as part of the architecture of the room or treated more like an individual piece of furniture, depending on the project.

Material Palettes

Material palettes are a fundamental part of our design process, carefully curated to balance texture, tone, and function.

 

Whether selecting timber, stone, metal, or paint, we consider how each element contributes to the overall character of a space. 

There are no limitations, every palette is tailored to reflect the needs and aesthetic of the individual project.

 

Each project page includes a full breakdown of materials, and if there's a particular material that inspires you, we’ll gladly explore how to incorporate it.

Get in Touch

Every project starts with understanding how you live, what you need and what you would like the finished piece to achieve.

​

Whether you’re considering a kitchen, fitted wardrobes, a larger joinery scheme or an individual piece of furniture, we’d be happy to discuss your ideas.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We are a small team of designers and cabinet makers, designing and making bespoke furniture and joinery from our studio and workshop in North London.

Our work includes handmade kitchens, fitted furniture, wardrobes and individual freestanding pieces, all designed and made to order.

Working without standard ranges or fixed sizes allows us to respond to the proportions of a room, the requirements of the client and the materials that suit the project. From the first drawings through to manufacture and installation, each project is handled by the same team.
