Going bespoke means starting with a blank piece of paper and designing – usually with help from a professional – one-off, standout items that fulfil a lifelong dream, highlight an individual aesthetic, or perform a specific function. Investing in tailor-made creations means they can be made to complement existing decor, to fit an awkward area or to match historical features, and not only will they enhance interiors, but they may even become antiques of the future.

This may take the form of being able to alter the dimensions of a rug to suit or choosing a special paint colour for a pendant. Such variations are becoming increasingly available from a range of brands, and are often simple to achieve without breaking the bank.
