Bespoke Tallboys
A tallboy is one of the most useful pieces of storage you can add to a home. It gives you height, drawers, and cupboard space without taking over the room.
We build custom tallboys that are made to measure for your space and the way you live. Whether it’s a bedroom tallboy for clothes, a hallway piece for day-to-day storage, or a bathroom tallboy designed around towels and toiletries, the goal is always the same: practical storage, built properly, with a finish that looks right up close.
Every tallboy we produce is a one-of-a-kind edition manufactured to your exact requirements. As a specialist bespoke furniture manufacturer, we can build exactly how you need it to look and function in your home.

What Our Customers Say
What is a Tallboy?
A tallboy is a tall, slim cabinet, often with a mix of drawers and cupboards. It is designed to give you a lot of storage in a smaller footprint, which makes it ideal for bedrooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms, and awkward spaces where wider furniture does not work.
Why Choose A Custom Tallboy?
Off-the-shelf tallboys usually come with compromises. Wrong height, wasted internal space, flimsy drawers, or a finish that does not match the room. A custom tallboy solves that.
A made to measure tallboy lets you:
- Choose the right mix of drawers, shelves, and cupboards
- Match existing furniture, wardrobes, or fitted joinery
- Build in details like soft-close drawers, integrated handles, and lighting
- Get a piece that is solid, stable, and made to last
- Use the full height available, without looking bulky
Custom Tallboy Design Options
A tallboy can be clean and modern, or more traditional. The main decision is layout and how you want it to feel in the room.
Common layouts include:
- Drawer-only tallboys for clothing and accessories
- Drawer and cupboard combos for mixed storage
- Open shelf sections for display and easy access
- Tallboys with internal pull-out laundry baskets
- Slimline tallboys designed for narrow spaces
If you want it to feel lighter, we can use plinth details, shadow gaps, or a slightly recessed base. If you want it to look more furniture-like, we can add panel detailing, framed doors, or a stronger top profile.
1Initial Consultation
The first step is a one-to-one chat about your tallboy. We’ll talk through where it’s going, what you need it to store, and the style you want it to match. If it’s for a bedroom, we’ll plan drawer depths for clothing and accessories. If it’s for a bathroom or hallway, we’ll design the internal layout around everyday use so nothing is wasted.
2Design and Planning
Next, we turn your requirements into a clear design and layout. We’ll confirm measurements, overall proportions, and the right balance of drawers, shelves, and cupboard space. This stage is where we get the practical details right, such as door clearances, handle style, soft-close hardware, and how the tallboy will sit alongside existing furniture.
3Material and Finish Selection
Once the design is agreed, we choose materials and finishes that suit the room. That might be oak or walnut for a warmer, natural look, or a painted finish to match your bedroom or bathroom. We’ll also confirm the small details that make a difference, such as internal organisers, integrated handles, and the right runners and hinges for a smooth, solid feel.
4Build, Delivery and Installation
Your tallboy is built in the workshop with accurate joinery and a finish that holds up to everyday use. When it’s ready, we deliver it to your home, position it properly, level it, and secure it if required for stability. The aim is a clean, fitted look and a piece that feels like it belongs in the space from day one.
