Why Bespoke Handmade Furniture is making a comeback in the UK

Handmade wooden furniture in the UK has had its' ups and downs, comings and goings over the decades. But now, in 2022, British-made solid wood furniture is making its' biggest comeback yet despite issues around wholesale wood prices. U-Wood Bespoke Designs delves deeper and explains why buying British handmade furniture from independent furniture makers in the UK means a better quality product and a more reliable service...

Why is British made wood furniture the new trend?

People have started paying more attention to their homes since lock down, their homes becoming a more sacred place, a haven even. On top of this, the 'work from home' lifestyle meant homes needed to be more functional as well as comfortable spaces, and this continues to be the case a couple of years later. Outdoor office space and garden furniture were a major necessity for many people during this time, and this was reflected in the rise in demand for outdoor garden buildings from our customers.

Also, people are now having lager gatherings with family & friends and need the furniture to match! This especially seems to be the case when it comes to outdoor furniture and outdoor bespoke wooden trinkets, such as our picnic beer bottle stand and picnic wine bottle stand, which are both perfect for a party on a lawn!

The rise in demand for good quality British made wooden furniture is also due to the fact that more people have moved out of the city and into homes in the country. With these moves came the need for larger furniture for the extra acres of space people now realised they had - some people just needed new furniture to better suit the style of their new homes.

There are many different styles of interior design using wooden furniture of course; whether you're looking for a Retro wooden drinks table or a Shabby Chic wooden chest of drawers. From Rustic wooden dining tables to Traditional style country home furniture; overall, the trend for 2022/2023 seems to be that wooden furniture is firmly back in the picture.
