What does bespoke mean in design?
Bespoke design means a piece or an interior made to an original specification for one client: drawn first, then built to that drawing. It describes process rather than price or style.
What does bespoke mean in design?
Bespoke means made to an original specification for one client — drawn, then built. In interiors it covers millwork, upholstery, drapery, rugs, and finishes originated for a single room rather than selected from a catalogue.
What is the difference between bespoke and custom?
Custom generally means modified — a stock frame in your fabric. Bespoke means originated — the frame was drawn for your room and built to that drawing.
Is made-to-order the same as bespoke?
No. Made-to-order means the piece is manufactured after purchase from an existing pattern in the maker's options. The design is not yours and the same piece ships to other homes.
What is not bespoke?
A high price, a designer name on a catalogue line, a stock sofa in an unusual fabric, a semi-custom cabinet in a special colour, or a limited edition. None of these originate as a drawing for your room.
