At Con-Tempo Furniture, we don’t just deliver wardrobes – we bring your vision to life. Every made-to-measure wardrobe we build is carefully crafted in our Wiltshire workshop, and the same care continues during delivery and installation.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how our team assembles your bespoke wardrobe from workshop to bedroom.

Step 1: Precision-Cut in Our Workshop

Your wardrobe begins its life in our Warminster factory, where each panel, door, and internal component is cut, sanded, and finished to your exact specifications. Whether you’ve chosen solid oak or a painted finish from our Lusso range, we prepare everything in advance for a smooth on-site build.

Step 2: Pre-Delivery Checks

Before leaving our workshop, your wardrobe is fully checked for quality, fit, and finish. We pre-assemble elements where possible and carefully package the components to prevent damage in transit.

Step 3: On-Site Assembly by Our Expert Team

Once at your home, our delivery team gets to work:

• Room prep: We protect your floors and surfaces before unloading.

• Component check: Every part is laid out and inspected on arrival.

• Assembly: Our team assembles the frame first, then adds internal sections like shelving, rails, and drawers. Doors, handles, and soft-close hinges are fitted last.

• Secure fitting: For fitted wardrobes, we secure the unit to the wall or alcove for a seamless finish.

Step 4: Final Checks & Clean-Up

Once everything is in place, we test every door, check alignments, and clean all surfaces so your new wardrobe is ready to use. No flat-pack nightmares – just solid, fitted furniture designed to last.

If you’re looking to furnish a compact dining room without sacrificing style or function, our latest showroom display might just be the inspiration you need. Thoughtfully designed for modern homes, this space-saving dining arrangement brings together smart proportions, premium materials, and timeless design.

Stylish and Practical – Meet the Libra Dining Table

 

At the heart of the setup is the Libra Glass Top Dining Table, finished in our exclusive Havana heat- and stain-resistant oil. The sleek glass surface creates a feeling of openness while showcasing the unique angled oak base underneath. It’s the perfect choice for dining rooms that need to feel both light and grounded.

Elegant Comfort – Rebecca Misty Dining Chairs

 

Paired with the Libra table are our Rebecca dining chairs in Misty – offering a soft, modern silhouette with supportive upholstery and slim black legs. They strike the right balance between understated elegance and everyday comfort, making them ideal for both casual family meals and entertaining guests.

Storage with Sliding Style – Quercus 1.5m Sideboard

 

To complete the look, we’ve included our Quercus 1.5m Sliding Door Sideboard. Crafted in solid oak and finished in the same Havana oil, it features smooth sliding doors and deep drawers for practical storage – perfect for keeping dining essentials neatly tucked away in smaller rooms.

This full setup is available to view in our Warminster showroom, where you can explore our full range of oak sideboards and modern oak dining tables. Everything can be customised to suit your space – including finish options and made-to-measure sizing.

A Bedroom Built to Fit – The Bespoke Impello Collection

Some rooms call for more than off-the-shelf solutions. When our customer needed bedroom furniture to work around the unique angles and features of their beautiful character home, our Impello Collection rose to the challenge.

Handcrafted in our Wiltshire workshop, this bespoke bedroom set was made to measure, ensuring every detail felt intentional—from the proportions of the 5-drawer combination unit to the gentle curves of the sliding wardrobe doors.

The furniture is finished in a warm ivory painted tone, topped with natural oak for a timeless contrast. Brushed chrome handles add a contemporary edge while complementing the rustic beams, exposed brick, and original flooring found throughout the space.

What makes this installation special?

• Custom-fit sliding door wardrobe – designed to maximise storage while fitting neatly into a sloped-ceiling alcove.

• Combination drawer and cupboard unit – ideal for flexible storage beside the chimney breast.

• Matching bedside table – soft-close drawers and coordinated finishes for a seamless look.

 

This project is a great example of how our made-to-measure bedroom furniture adapts to your home—not the other way around. Every piece in the Impello Collection can be customised by size, finish, layout, and detailing.

🌳 The Ultimate Oak Dining Table Buying Guide

Your dining table isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a gathering spot, homework station, celebrations central, and maybe even a makeshift office. With this in mind, choosing the right oak dining table isn’t just a purchase—it’s an investment in style, durability, and everyday joy.

1. Why Oak? Durability Meets Character

• Built to last: Oak is very hard-wearing—its density resists knocks, spills, and daily use—so it’s a long-term investment  .

• Aging gracefully: Over time, oak develops a patina that enhances its natural beauty, even raising its value  .

• Eco-wise option: Go for reclaimed oak and you’ll be choosing a sustainable and character-rich piece  .

2. Red vs White Oak – Know the Difference

• Red Oak: A cost‑effective choice with a pronounced grain that easily conceals scratches. It has a friendly, warm tone—perfect for classic or rustic interiors  .

• White Oak: A tad tougher and slightly more expensive. It’s often offered in quarter- or rift-sawn cuts for straighter grain. Ideal for modern, minimalist styles  .

3. Shape & Size – Fit Your Space

• Rectangular: Ideal for larger rooms or formal dining—easy to extend for guests  .

• Round or Oval: Great for smaller rooms—encourages conversation and works beautifully in breakfast nooks  .

• Choose thoughtfully: Allow at least 90 cm (35″) space around the table for comfortable movement  . Plan on about 60 cm (23″) per diner  .

4. Style & Construction – Go the Distance

• • Pedestal tables clear space underneath—great for smaller areas  .

  • Trestle style offers rustic charm and solid seating spread .

  • Corner legs are timeless and versatile.

 

• Legs, trestle, or pedestal:

• Solid vs veneer: Solid oak wins for durability and longevity. Veneers may crack over time  .

5. Finish That Speaks to You

• Glossy varnish: Provides strong surface protection but can feel less natural  .

• Oil finishes: Tend to highlight grain and keep a tactile, natural vibe—but need reapplying periodically .

• Water-based polyurethane: Clear, durable, and minimal ambering—great everyday choice  .

6. Practical Care Tips

• Prevention is key: Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to shield from heat and moisture .

• Routine clean: A soft cloth and mild soap, wiped dry—avoid heavy polishes on sealed surfaces  .

• Climate control: Keep humidity stable to prevent warping or cracking  .
