Our Finely Fitted Office


I'm very pleased to be sitting at my new desk in my newly fitted office.

On one side we have a modern look, mostly in a Farrow and Ball eggshell white. The paint used is a special water based paint, which is now up to new environmentally friendly standards, the oak trim is made from FSC accredited oak, as are the modern sunk in handles, and the materials and boards used to produce this piece. The finish on the oak is an environmentally friendly oil. It's very neat and tidy, and due to the ergonomic design, sits as comfortably in the space as I do.

On the other side of the office we have a more classic look. Produced using sustainable walnut, and finished in the same oil, it's a very impressive piece with fluted columns and substantial mouldings.

It's great to be producing exceptional quality furniture from these sustainable sources and in these great looking and environmentally friendly finishes. Not only does it mean that our customers get high quality furniture, which will of course last them a life time; (therefore the wood doesn't end up at the dump, being burnt or rotting and ruining the environment), but also, the wood being from sustainable sources also means that we're not effectively cutting anything down, especially not rain forests, to produce it.

In the next few weeks in the run up to Christmas we’ll be fitting more interesting furniture in our shop and stocking some other new exciting lines for our customers. One notable supplier will be Dream Farm, a company who produce kitchen wares. For every item I sell, they plant a tree somewhere in the world. They’re also planting most of them in countries where they need them most because of intense deforestation (like China and Africa). Places which have been devastated both by deforestation, and as a consequence of this, land and mud slides, which in turn cause problems with farming and crops.

We’re also stocking some lines by large groups like Joseph Joseph who always have extremely tightly controlled factories, running ethical policies which outshine most other companies.

If you wish to contact us, should it be to view our great shop in Warlingham (414 Limpsfield Road) selling not only our fitted interiors, but our responsibly farmed European oak furniture and our English built cherry furniture, or should you have any design needs for your home, we would be delighted to help. You can find us at the end of the phone 01883 626 629 or on e-mail, sales@warlinghamfurniture.co.uk. We also have a great website, www.warlinghamfurniture.co.uk, should you wish to visit that.
