Design
Fitted furniture
designed for you
We understand the importance of optimising the space you have. We’ll work closely with you to design a fitted furniture solution that maximises functionality and makes the most efficient use of your available space.
Starting with a pencil sketch our aim is to create stunning cabinetry that will compliment your existing interior or will make your interior design vision become a reality.
Made-to-measure
Handmade and truly unique
Each piece of furniture we create is unique and handmade to order in our workshop. We do not mass produce and we do not buy in. By avoiding pre-made components, we ensure that every item we manufacture fits your space perfectly, to the millimetre.
All our cabinetry is made to measure for your home which eliminates the need for ‘filler’ pieces to hide gaps, we fit wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling if required.
Paint finishing
Furnish your home
with colour
We have no limitations when it comes to colour choice – we think cabinet colour is of primary importance and can make or break a project and we can paint whatever colour you choose from whichever paint brand.
We can spray finish your cabinets in our workshop spray booth but if you prefer to see beautiful brush strokes on your cupboards we can hand paint them for you too.
Installation
Fitting your cabinetry
When it all comes together is the most exciting part – for you and for us! We believe the installation process should be stress-free for our clients with minimum disruption to daily life.
By the time of installation our team know every single element of your cabinetry inside and out and it is a formality to ensure an expert fit.
Aftercare
Our aim is
to delight
We are a local workshop and we value our relationship with our customers. We want you to be delighted with your cabinetry and offer dedicated aftercare services, ready to address any problems you may have or any snagging issues promptly. Our team is just a phone call away and can visit your premises at short notice to resolve any issues.

Why choose Modern Maker?
Personal service
We take pride in providing a one-to-one level of service that is impossible for larger companies to offer. Only a small tight-knit team can offer a personal service that is responsive, attentive and committed to exceeding your expectations.
Why choose Modern Maker?
Support your local joinery business
We mainly work in Hitchin and surrounding areas but have completed projects in Harpenden, St. Albans and even as far as Cambridge. We are friendly and approachable but most of all we care about our customers, our local area and our reputation.
Why choose Modern Maker?
Luxury as a standard
We believe that luxury shouldn’t come with an exorbitant price tag. One of the most pleasant surprises our clients experience is our pricing. By operating as a smaller workshop without a showroom we have the advantage of lower overheads allowing us to offer our bespoke fitted furniture at an honest price point.
Our company mission is to make bespoke handmade cabinetry an affordable design standard without compromise on design or quality.
Why choose Modern Maker?
Made in England from sustainable sources
We don’t buy anything in. Everything is made to order at our workshop in Kelshall, Hertfordshire. All of our materials are carefully selected for their quality and we ensure the timber we use is responsibly sourced and FSC certified.
The paint we use is water-based (solvent free) and we try our best for the environment by reducing our waste to a minimum.
We also make good use of our off-cuts when we can by making smaller items – like chopping boards, spatulas and wooden spoons.
We only use FSC certified timber products. You can find out more about FSC here:
