Custom Furniture Notting Hill

I’ve lived in Notting Hill for just over twenty years now, and in that time, I’ve refitted every room at least twice. Kitchens, studies, lounges, snug rooms—we’ve tried it all. And if there’s one thing I won’t compromise on now, it’s furniture. Not the mass-market stuff. I’m talking bespoke furniture London pieces, built by people who understand detail—and that’s where Smithers of Stamford come into it. I first came across Smithers, and I’ll be honest—I thought it’d be just another quirky brand.

But one look at their madcap cocktail cabinets and I was hooked. It wasn’t chasing trends—just solid, confident design with a bit of bite. The first piece we bought was a brutalist sideboard for the dining room, and it just snowballed from there. Each piece looks like it belongs in a film set and a townhouse, somehow. I’ve since had them fit out the library, luxury bespoke furniture London and every time, they’ve delivered. What you’re really paying for with Smithers is this: the piece actually works in the room.

The scale feels balanced. And unlike some luxury brands who charge more for less, Smithers get stuck in. I like that they use reclaimed materials, but I also like that they’re not stiff. 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.
