We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Helen (@theinteriorslady on Instagram), whose stunning home transformation caught our eye. She converted a former canine hydrotherapy centre into a sleek, Scandi-inspired, black-clad home. Helen was searching for bespoke garden furniture at the time, so we got to talking.
This partnership gave us the perfect chance to showcase our custom timber creations. Helen needed table and bench tops to pair with her steel frames from The Hairpin Leg Company, and we were thrilled to provide modern rustic garden pieces that fit her vision perfectly. As part of the collaboration, we also crafted a contemporary timber planter that complemented her minimalist outdoor design.
After delivering the initial pieces, Helen was so pleased that she commissioned another bespoke item: a custom bin store. The bin store was a new project for us, and we're thrilled with how it turned out. Keep reading to see how this unique piece fits perfectly with her beautiful outdoor space.
Garden Furniture Design & Custom Craftsmanship
Bespoke Table Top:
We created a rustic, modern, 300cm-long, 45mm thick, bespoke table top for Helen’s garden, using FSC-certified treated timber. We made the tabletop and bench tops to fit the steel frame legs that Helen already had from the hairpin company. The natural wood grain adds warmth to the outdoor space, and the pressure-treated timber means it will last throughout the seasons.
Bespoke Contemporary Planter:
The bespoke contemporary wooden planter we made for Helen's garden is crafted from sustainably sourced FSC-certified pressure-treated timber to withstand the unpredictable UK weather.
Bespoke Bin Store:
Helen later purchased a bespoke build from us, a made-to-measure bin store to conceal the bins, and a heat pump whilst allowing airflow for the heat pump. We painted the durable timber bin store to match Helen's black-clad aesthetic theme.
The Process: From Design to Installation
We crafted the bespoke tabletop and benches to fit perfectly with The Hairpin Company's steel legs, bringing Helen's vision to life.
The modern wooden planter was designed as a stunning focal point to fill a significant gap in her garden.
The made-to-measure bin store fits seamlessly into the space and matches the modern black-clad house.
We wanted to ensure that the handcrafted timber pieces complimented the aesthetics of Helen's beautiful home and garden and met the functional needs.
We love following Helen’s journey as she shares posts and stories featuring her bespoke timber pieces. She’s planted elegant evergreen grasses in her custom garden planter, enjoyed cosy Sunday roasts outdoors with her favourite dinnerware on the handcrafted table, and posted stunning photos of her made-to-measure bin store. Her audience has been full of praise for the bespoke garden pieces.
Helen shared her thoughts on the bin store:“The bin and the ASHP were ruining the aesthetic on the approach to the house. The solution was to create a slatted screen around the area that allowed the required airflow for the heat pump and also easy access to the bin and for maintenance. The guys @timber_foundry measured up and made this bespoke unit at their workshop, then delivered, installed and finished under the watchful eye of the site manager. We’re absolutely delighted with the finished look, it looks so much better now.”
