Located in the village of Kettleshulme, Cheshire, Carved Wood Design is a great example of alternative thinking. Uneasy with simplistic conventional furniture and kitchen design, Gareth the owner, aims for originality at all times ignoring fashion trends and the principle of built in obsolescence. Flexibility in design means unlimited possibilities, a truly bespoke service from a furniture artist.
The build quality is exceptional, in-frame construction with traditional joints and solid wood on the inside of all cabinets, with wood carvings out of the solid. All woods are from sustainable sources including unusual figured woods such as Pippy/Burr Oak, Fiddle Back Sycamore, Swiss Pear, Cedar Of Lebanon, Native Walnut and the recently introduced paint finishes on solid hardwood.

We have commissioned several pieces of work over the years, including a fabulous farmhouse kitchen, an exquisite dresser, and more recently a divine utility kitchen. We continue to use Carved Wood Design because of the quality of workmanship, attention to detail, and the highly original unparalleled bespoke designs that are unlike anything else on the market.

Gareth has been working with us on various projects in our property over a number of years. The latest works have involved the redesign of our kitchen.
The kitchen was originally designed by Gareth some years ago and we have loved it. We wanted to freshen it up and modernise it slightly, but didn’t want to lose the features that we loved so much in his original creation. It was also important to us that it remained in keeping with the farmhouse property.
We are absolutely delighted yet again with the result. The new parts blend seamlessly with the old and we have achieved exactly the end result

Carved Wood Design built our amazing kitchen in 2014/2015. We cannot speak highly enough of the level of service and quality of craftsmanship.
Impressive right from the initial design stage to the final installation. The final result is completely bespoke and the envy of anyone who visits our house.
If you want something totally unique that will last forever then look no further.
