The Dormy House Furniture

House furniture buyer’s guide

The furniture you choose for your home has a lot of boxes to tick. It needs to have the style you love and fulfil its purpose for years to come, whether that’s providing a comfortable seat, creating storage and so on. You can rely on our designs to be durable, functional and with the style you prefer. That’s because our furniture is custom made in our premises in the UK to your specification. Our painted furniture can be finished in the paint colour you want so it complements your room schemes, and if you prefer to order it unpainted to finish it yourself, you can. We also offer a fabulous selection of handles and knobs to create your preferred look. When it comes to upholstered designs, you can select from our large collection of fabrics, or you can send us your preferred fabric to use. Our designs are made to last in MDF. We use this material because it makes strong and stable furniture that won’t be affected by the natural fluctuations in temperature and humidity that every home experiences.

Choosing furniture for a house

To make finding the piece of furniture you need for your home easy, our designs are grouped by room, so whether you’re after furniture for a living room, a kitchen-diner, bedrooms, bathrooms, the hallway, home office or kids’ rooms, you’ll be able to find what you need for the room. And, because storage is vital to a well-organised clutter-free home, as well as finding practical and elegant storage furniture by room, we’ve also grouped our home storage designs so you can find a clever solution to whatever you have to store. Occasional furniture – the extra pieces you need to turn a house into a home from chairs and side tables to decorative screens – are also collected together so you can browse the collection for the furniture for a house you need. Designs like seating and beds are designed for comfort that lasts over a long lifetime, while all our furniture is made to provide lasting style and durability. 


Sizing furniture for a house

It’s important to consider how furniture will fit into your rooms. We give the dimensions of every piece, so that you can see how much of the floor it will occupy. If you have a compact home, or room, look out for our designs specially designed for small rooms. They have all the style of traditionally scaled pieces but fit where other furniture won’t go. We have single wardrobes, the best-selling French wardrobe, and the New Hampshire slim 4 drawer bedside, and we offer a compact utility cupboard, a single modular larder, and space-saving desks, among many other designs that can suit small homes, or awkward spaces. You might also want to opt for the many furniture designs we offer that have legs rather than sitting directly on the floor if your home is small. Seeing the floor from one side to the other can make rooms feel bigger and airier. On the other hand, if you have generous space, you can size up with floor-to-ceiling storage from our modular ranges, and curvaceous sofas and armchairs.

Individualising furniture

Many stores offer limited colours for furniture, and small upholstery ranges, plus standard finishing touches like handles and knobs. Because we design and make in the UK ourselves, we pride ourselves on giving you a fabulous choice when it comes to colour, fabrics, and finishing touches so that you can make your furniture individual. We’ll even alter the sizes of our furniture for you if we can. Our fabrics are carefully selected from the leading fabric houses and include both plains and patterns with both classic and contemporary style. But if you’ve already fallen for a fabric, you can send it in – we’ll let you know how much to supply – and we’ll use that instead. You can customise with the paint colour, too. Our paint finishes include light-reflective hues, mid tones and dramatic darks. Once again, though, if you’ve already succumbed to the charms of a colour, you can order unpainted furniture and use it.
