These designs serve as the stepping stones towards realising your vision. Embrace the excitement of creating your dream space, where peace of mind is guaranteed from start to finish.

Investing in bespoke design is an assurance policy that pays out with dividends.
With Mark James, what you see is what you get – and even better. Our designs are not just concepts, they are meticulously crafted blueprints, drawn to precise measurements, and brought to life with expert craftsmanship. We believe in transparency and integrity. Rest assured, we don't promise what we can't deliver. From the initial concept to the final product, we're committed to realizing your expectations.
Some of our clients have given us their permission to show their commissioned concept designs as an example on this page. Although these may not be identical to the finished furniture due to in-build tweaks and colour changes, they do give a good idea of how we represent our work with detailed design.
Designing bespoke furniture is a process that requires significant time and expertise. While some may consider this process as their intellectual property, we view it as a valuable service we provide.
Our commitment to excellence means that an initial kitchen design can take anywhere from 10 to 36 hours to craft, draw and refinebefore it is presented to our clients.
Due to the expertise and the time invested in our design service, we charge a 'one-off' fee for design work, regardless of whether the design is ultimately commissioned.
Our furniture design fees start from £220.00 plus VAT, with more intricate and larger projects beginning at £350.00 plus VAT. Specialist project design fees are determined based on the duration of the required days.
