Last week your company fitted a wardrobe in our new Churchill apartment.

I intend to have more work done by you in the near future.

Testimonial by letter on 6 April 2012 from a very happy customer in Bournemouth, Dorset.

Custom World makes bespoke fitted bedroom and office furniture and has been running for 30 years, having been established in 1982. The business has a new vision and energy and a part of this new vision is to be as environmentally friendly as is possible.

Russell Bowyer - MD Custom World - Goes Green

Custom World aim to improve their resource efficiency by reducing waste to landfill and energy use by replacing old equipment with newer energy efficient models.

One major change the business has undergone is to divert all their wood and other wastes from landfill to recycling, but also, one of the main machines in the factory has been designed to reduce waste also.

The recycling of waste from the factory has meant a saving of 134 tonnes of CO²e per annum, which Russell Bowyer, Managing Director of Custom World, is extremely pleased with. This has led to receiving a grant towards the cost of the new plant and machinery for the factory, which has help to fund growth and additional employment within the business.

The change in how waste is recycled has meant more time is spent in sorting out the waste between plastic shrink wrap, metal, glass, cardboard and paper, but Mr Bowyer feels that the time factor is worth it for the green saving and reduction in carbon emissions.

Mr Bowyer is keen to reduce the company’s environmental impact and sees having good environmental credentials as an important part of their strategy going forward. Going forward he aims to develop an EMS to identify and control all their significant environmental impacts and ensure they communicate their environmental improvements and their carbon footprint to their existing and potential customers via their web site and marketing material.

“Very pleased with sales visit and then installation. This is the third time we have used the company.”

New Milton Hampshire – 1 March 2012 on Checkatrade.com

Apparently, we spend an average of 9 hours a day in bed! If you live to the age of 60, that means you will have spent 197,100 hours in bed! As people are generally living well beyond their 60th year, these statistics would explain why a whole month is dedicated to beds!

Made to measure fitted bed - any size and shape

Yes, March is National Bed Month, so what better time to treat to yourself to a new bed and if you have your bed custom made then it can also become a useful piece of furniture. You can incorporate drawers under the bed, which creates valuable storage space, and your bed can be made to any size to fit any mattress.

Cabin beds make a great addition to a child’s bedroom, where drawers or cupboards under the bed create plenty of storage for their toys or they can have a pull out desk installed into the bed to create a space-saving addition to do their homework on. Who knows, it may even help them to keep their room tidy!

Many people these days work from home or have a home office/study, although sometimes this can mean working in a spare bedroom around a bed that is used for the occasional guest. With a pull down bed incorporated in to a stylish unit, not only do you gain a large amount of work space, but by fitting in a desk space and further storage you can have a completely multi-functional room which provides a spare room and an office a neat and space saving solution.

We spend a lot of money on the beautiful array of duvet covers and cushions that we put on our beds, but we often pay little attention to the bed itself. By designing a bed that will match your other furniture and create valuable storage, you can also have a beautiful bed as well as beautiful bedding.
Add the mattress that suits you perfectly and what better way to spend those 197100 hours plus!

KBB - Kitchens Bedrooms and Bathrooms at the NEC 2012

Russell feels that keeping up to date with all the latest trends in designs, colours and textures is vital to make sure that our designers can provide our customers with the very best in fitted furniture.

Since the KBB last year we introduced our Dynamic range, which is a fabulous range of textured materials for use in sliding dooor wardrobes and inserts for doors and back-drops for walls in bedrooms, for hotels and shop reception areas and more!

This year we have seen a few intersting ideas, which will filter through into our Dorset showroom and then be available for our customers.

“Fantastic service from the initial visit to the showroom right through to the beautiful finished product! Particularly impressed with how clean and tidy Bob the fitter kept my brand new cream carpet! Thank you so much!”

Customer in Poole, 23 February 2012 on Checkatrade.com

When working from home or simply dealing with bills and the dreaded paperwork, having good storage is vital to making sure you keep on top of everything. It can be as simple as having extra drawers, be it file drawers or not or having extra shelving or cupboard space.

If you have more storage space, a desk, file drawers and shelves, then built in storage will make the most of the space you have, however free standing units do still have their place in any office set up and can add character to the overall design.

Use fitted furniture to create your own stylish home office…use every square inch of space for the most efficient work spot.
