Is bespoke design right for you?

Bespoke suits some projects extremely well and others badly. The difference is usually calendar and temperament rather than budget.

Who is bespoke design actually for?
Families who intend to stay in the house, who have an unusual condition to solve, and whose calendar can absorb drawing and workroom lead times.
Do I need a big budget for bespoke design?
You need a budget appropriate to the scope, and scope is what you control. A single drawn banquette in an otherwise bought room is bespoke design used well.
What if I change my mind mid-project?
Changes are normal; timing determines their cost. A change before shop drawings are approved is a redline; a change after fabrication has started is a new piece.
Can I start bespoke partway through a build?
Yes, but earlier is better. Once framing and rough-in are set, lighting positions, ceiling details, and built-in depths are largely fixed.
