Welcome to Warlingham Furniture

Hello and welcome to the Warlingham Furniture blog.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to offer you exactly what you need. Exceptional quality furniture and accessories which are not going to burn a hole in your pocket or make you feel guilty.

How so, you ask?

Locally Built, Made to Measure, Using Sustainable Woods:

We stock a very beautiful range of solid wood furniture here in the shop. The English factory who supplies us uses exclusively sourced woods which are all from sustainable sources.

Because it's locally built furniture, every piece is made to measure, hand made and using traditional methods, even down to the beautiful distressed finishes which are created by planing the wood flat instead of sanding. This makes the furniture so rich and the wood so much more real. We also also run a line of standard sizes and designs in this extensive range.

Our made to measure furniture is also built largely at the same location, but we, as professional furniture makers ourselves, can also offer our personal services to build the most unique pieces available anywhere, we also have the know how which comes as real furniture makers and not just salesmen.

Of course, the obvious environmental advantage of buying locally is that it doesn't have to travel around the world burning fossil fuels on its journey to your door.


Responsible Oak, Reasonable Prices:


A large portion of our shop shows our beautifully built modern oak furniture. It wont make you feel guilty because the woods used in its construction are responsibly farmed. They're also not shipped across the globe because these ranges are made in Europe.


Environmentally Friendly and Fair Trade to Boot:

If we cannot source things locally, like basketware, other homewares and glassware, we try to source environmentally friendly products, and if we can, also get them fair trade.


Our felt toys and accessories, by En Gry & Sif for example are fair trade. They're designed in Denmark and made in Nepal.


Our basketware and a lot of our homewares are built using sustainable materials such as bamboo, rattan and willow. We get these wares from the same company who supply our beautiful lighting. They work to an ethical policy which covers a multitude of areas such as working conditions, child labour and the sustainability of their products.


We also stock glassware from LSA, a European company, who make the most beautiful mouth blown hand made glass. Again, being from Europe, it doesn't have to travel far and is reasonably priced.


Our tableware is currently sourced from a company who buy their goods from a factory who supply large department stores in the UK. The factory is audited constantly to make sure they live up to fair trade and ethical standards. The company we buy from is now in the process of getting a fair trade mark for their goods, and I await the good news from them that they can put the mark on their boxes.


The clocks we have in the shop are from Comitti, clocks of London who sell their time pieces in Harrods, London, and who have their workshops in the UK. These are absolutely classic designs, and look amazing in any setting. Made to the very best standards.


Our mirrors and mirror frames are locally sourced, some made by ourselves, some made by our London supplier. Most of the framing is made using responsibly sourced woods, and again, being locally built, doesn't have to travel across the earth to reach your door.


Developing.


We are constantly developing our business and are always on the look out for other things we know you will like.

Our policy here is to keep questioning our suppliers about their ethical and environmentally friendly policies and hope we can offer you the best service and also great prices for excellent furniture and accessories.
