Bespoke design has taken the interior design world by storm, and has no plans of going away anytime soon. If you have yet to see or hear of this uniquely personal design trend, allow us to introduce your new favorite style. Bespoke design focuses on one-of-a-kind elements that make your home entirely unique. It is based completely off of your own personal wants and needs, and differs from regular customization options by allowing you to choose even the smallest of details.
From shelves made to fit the oddly shaped alcove in your entryway to the custom bar you’ve been dreaming of putting in that empty living room corner, bespoke design is about finding and creating furniture, art, and other design elements that perfectly fit what you want and need. While it may sound tedious to pick out all of the small details, it’s much easier to incorporate bespoke design than you might think.
Combine Vintage & Modern Elements
Are you skilled in finding the best furniture in every thrift store? Have you been trying to figure out what to do with the antique chest of drawers passed down to you by a great, great grandparent? Maybe you have unique family heirlooms that are currently housed in a box in your attic. Whatever the case, vintage furniture and knickknacks are the perfect way to bring in personal elements that are the signature to bespoke design.
Combining vintage furniture or items with more modern pieces allows you to create a perfect balance between the old and the new, and will help you create the bespoke paradise you desire. One of the easiest ways to do this is to start with a larger element, like a vintage dresser, and then add things like plants, small knickknacks you’ve collected and whatever other elements you’d like. Don’t be afraid to have fun with it – one of the most important facets of Bespoke design is your own personal taste, so there’s really no wrong way to go about it!
Personalize Your Space

To create a cohesive bespoke design, the best thing you can do is to find your personal style and use it to guide your design choices. If your taste is more modern, you can create a unique bespoke feel by using customized furniture elements that reflect your needs in that specific space.
Consider adding a custom vanity to your bedroom that includes floor to ceiling shelving to maximize space. In your dining room, you could work with designers to create a custom bench made to match the marble countertops you love so much. Or if you’re not looking to go out and find new furniture or work with a designer to create it for you, there is always the option to make your space your own using items you already have. Maybe you already have a desk in your office, but you choose to replace the hardware with something more to your taste or you’re re-staining it to paint it a shade that better suits your style. Upcycling furniture is a great way to personalize your home without having to break the bank.
