Notting Hill’s been home for a couple of decades, and in that time, I’ve refitted every room at least twice. Kitchens, studies, lounges, snug rooms—we’ve had all sorts built in. And if there’s one thing I won’t compromise on now, it’s furniture. Not the mass-market stuff. I’m talking proper made-to-measure design, built by people who understand detail—and that’s where Smithers of Stamford come into it. My wife actually discovered Smithers, and I’ll be honest—I thought it’d be just another quirky brand.

But one look at their aviator range and I was hooked. It wasn’t chasing trends—just solid, bespoke furniture London designers confident design with a bit of swagger.

I’ve since had them build a modern bespoke furniture London drinks unit in the snug, 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 phone it in, Smithers are all about craft. I like that they use reclaimed materials, but I also like that they’re punchy. 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. I’ve sent friends to them in Mayfair and bespoke furniture London company Holland Park and every single one
