Bespoke cabinetry for interior designers and architects

A manufacturing partner for interior design and architecture practices. Work with our Wakefield workshop to develop and manufacture kitchens, wardrobes and fitted furniture from your design brief.

Bring an interior scheme, architectural drawings or an early concept. Together we clarify the construction, materials, approvals and delivery or installation responsibilities around your project team.

Oak-veneered cabinetry and a fitted drawer in production at our Wakefield workshop.

Your design, supported by our workshop

For interior designers

Carry your design language through the cabinetry: proportions, colour, texture, veneer sequence and the details your client sees and uses every day.

Bring layouts, moodboards, finish references or a developed furniture schedule. Discuss material combinations, exposed edges, storage and samples with the workshop before approving the specification.

Agree how your practice, client and JS DECO will communicate, so design decisions and purchasing responsibilities stay clear.

For architects

Develop fitted furniture around the architecture: room geometry, openings, clearances and the interfaces with appliances, services and the wider fit-out.

Bring plans, elevations, cabinet schedules or a drawing package. Discuss construction details, site dimensions and installation access with the workshop, identifying what needs resolving before manufacture.

Agree who confirms measurements, coordinates the project team and approves drawings or revisions, so the manufacturing scope is clearly defined.

One workshop, a shared process. Fully bespoke dimensions, early discussion of buildability and budget, and agreed drawings and samples. Manufactured in Wakefield and delivered UK-wide, with supply-only or agreed installation options.

Materials, construction and specification

Our guide to fully bespoke manufacturing sets out the workshop’s typical construction approach. The final material, thickness, finish and hardware schedule is agreed for each commission.

Birch plywood: natural face, layered edge and lacquered finish.
Cabinet dimensions
Individual widths, heights, depths, plinths and internal layouts. Develop proportions around the room, storage requirements and architectural details rather than a fixed catalogue grid.
Carcasses and backs
Typically 18 mm birch plywood with full 18 mm structural backs and rigid assembled construction. Confirm the selected core, back and finish in the project specification.
Veneers and edges
Oak and walnut veneers, including veneered plywood; veneered MDF is another construction option. Discuss exposed edges, solid hardwood details and which faces remain visible.
Grain and finishes
Plan veneer sequence across doors, panels and cabinet runs where the selected material allows it. Agree samples, grain direction, lacquer or other finish before manufacture.
Hardware and internals
Blum hinges and drawer systems, storage configuration and appliance integration. Confirm access, clearances and the actual appliance models during technical development.
Scope beyond kitchens
Wardrobes, utility rooms, fitted storage and freestanding pieces can be considered as part of the same scheme. Suitability and detailing are reviewed against the brief.

Selected project evidence

Interior design and architecture collaborations

Two professional collaborations show different starting points: an interior concept and an architectural drawing package. Each example identifies JS DECO’s actual role. A third, homeowner-led project demonstrates supply-only coordination with an independent fitter.

Large white and grey FENIX island kitchen in London

London · Architect collaboration

London: from architectural drawings to installation

Working from Jernej Cencic Studio’s drawings, JS DECO developed the cabinetry specification, custom storage and appliance integration. FENIX fronts, granite surfaces and tall wall cabinets carry the design through the room.

JS DECO’s role: technical development, manufacture and installation.

Oak-framed sink and white cabinetry concealing a utility entrance in North Devon

North Devon · Supply only

North Devon: supply-only cabinetry

A concealed utility entrance was integrated into a Scandinavian kitchen. JS DECO developed and supplied the furniture, supporting the client’s carpenter by phone and video call during fitting.

This homeowner-led commission shows how a supply-only arrangement can work when the project has its own installer.

Agree how we work with your practice

Your design and client relationship

Whether you are an interior designer or an architect, agree who leads the design, who purchases the furniture and who receives drawings, prices and project updates. Discuss confidentiality and preferred client contact at the outset, so the working arrangement is agreed before information is shared.

You can involve the workshop at concept stage for a construction and budget discussion, or bring a developed drawing package. Production requires confirmed dimensions and an agreed specification.

Supply only or an installation scope

Supply only: the client’s fitter confirms final site dimensions and drawing adjustments before production. Define delivery access, unloading and fitting responsibilities as part of the order.

Supply and installation: JS DECO arranges survey and measurement confirmation and takes responsibility for the agreed installation, carried out by subcontractors.

Pricing, payment stages, lead times and any trade requirements are discussed for the individual project. Include your target budget and programme in the initial brief if available.

From first conversation to furniture

Drawings, approvals and production

Clear information and written approvals matter as much as craftsmanship. We identify what is needed at each stage so that dimensions, finishes and responsibilities are understood before production.

01 · Share the brief

Start with what you have

Interior schemes, architectural plans and elevations, cabinet schedules or concept visuals. Include the location, intended timing and preferred supply arrangement.

02 · Develop the scope

Resolve the practical details

Review materials, finish level, budget assumptions, appliance models and site access. Early concepts can inform a budget range; firm pricing needs an agreed specification.

03 · Confirm & approve

Make the sign-off clear

Confirm final dimensions, drawings, samples and who approves changes. Agree survey responsibility before production and revisit the programme if the specification changes.

04 · Make & deliver

Follow the agreed scope

Our cabinet makers manufacture the furniture in Wakefield. Delivery and installation services are agreed for each project and carried out by subcontractors.

Questions from interior designers and architects

Planning a kitchen, wardrobes or a wider fitted interior? Send the information you have now; the remaining details can be identified together.

Can you work from interior schemes and architectural drawings?

Yes. We can work from PDF plans and elevations, DWG files, schedules, moodboards and SketchUp or similar 3D references. Use the form for a PDF or image, or share a link to larger drawing packages and native design files.

Can we start before the drawings are final?

Yes. A layout, reference images and finish direction can support an initial budget discussion. Final pricing and production require an agreed specification and confirmed measurements.

How do we coordinate measurements and installation?

For supply only, the client’s fitter confirms final site dimensions and drawing adjustments before production. For an agreed supply-and-installation scope, JS DECO arranges survey and measurement confirmation and takes responsibility for installation, carried out by subcontractors.

Can you match veneer direction and bespoke details?

Where the chosen materials and finishes allow it, veneer direction and grain can be aligned across runs. Discuss this, edge details and finish samples during specification, before production approval.

How are lead times and changes handled?

Timing is confirmed for each project. Final appliance models, stable site dimensions and clear approvals help keep the programme realistic. Changes to the brief or site readiness need to be reviewed before proceeding.

Can we visit the workshop or discuss future projects?

Yes. Workshop visits in Wakefield are by appointment; phone and video consultations are also available. You can introduce your practice through the form even if you do not yet have a live commission.

How do we agree trade terms and client communication?

Tell Jacek how your practice works, who is purchasing the furniture and how you would like client communication handled. Any trade requirements, confidentiality needs and approval responsibilities should be discussed and agreed for the project.
