As we step into a new year, many homeowners are planning major renovations, extensions, or new build projects that feel more personal, more authentic and more beautifully crafted. Bespoke timber joinery is at the heart of that shift. Whether you are planning a renovation, an extension or simply refreshing key features of your home, this is the year to explore the benefits of timber external doors, handcrafted timber windows and statement timber staircases.
At Input Joinery, all our bespoke joinery is custom-made in our Hampshire workshop using sustainably sourced timber and a blend of traditional skill and modern precision. For us, creating bespoke is more than choosing a design you like. It is choosing joinery that is made for your home, built to last and designed around your lifestyle, ensuring no compromise on quality and function.
What Does Bespoke Really Mean?
The word 'bespoke' is often overused. It can simply mean a choice of fashionable colours or funky trends. When you embark on a major project, you need more than that. We use the word bespoke with purpose. To us, it means joinery that is tailored to you in every sense.
- Made for your specific space and architectural style
- Designed for you, with choices in timber species, glazing, colour and detailing
- Built to modern performance requirements for insulation, security and longevity
- Crafted in our Hampshire joinery workshop using responsible, sustainable materials
Bespoke joinery is joinery with intention. It transforms your home not just visually but in how it feels, how it functions and how it welcomes you every day.
Bespoke joinery can get a reputation of not being the cheapest option on the market. But it is essential to frame this decision not as a simple cost, but as a long-term investment in your home’s efficiency, security and value.
Ultimately, cutting costs now could mean bigger, unexpected costs down the line. A cheaper, mass-produced product often leads to lower-grade materials and inferior construction techniques require more frequent repairs or replacements. Whilst compromised insulation leads to higher heating bills, a hidden, recurring cost.
By investing in Bespoke Joinery, you are buying into lifetime value. Our products are built with superior craftsmanship and materials, meaning they are designed to last for decades, reducing your cost-per-year, saving you money on energy bills and adding genuine, lasting market value to your property.
Timber Staircases: Crafted to Become the Heart of Your Home
A staircase is one of the most expressive architectural elements in any home and a bespoke timber staircase allows it to become a true centrepiece rather than a purely functional structure. When we design your staircase, we begin by understanding how you use the space and what you want it to feel like.
You can choose:
- Open or closed risers, depending on the light and style you want
- Straight, curved or space-saving forms
- Oak with a natural finish or a hardwood for painting, giving a classic look
- Timber-only balustrades or combinations with glass or metal
These design options allow your staircase to complement your interior rather than compete with it. Beyond appearance, we engineer every staircase for strength, comfort and everyday use. This includes tread proportions, riser heights, handrail shapes and balustrade spacing.
A crafted feature staircase can completely transform an entrance hall, open plan living area or loft conversion. It enhances movement through the space while adding character and craftsmanship that is impossible to replicate with standard joinery.
Timber Windows: Beautifully Detailed and Built for Modern Performance
Windows shape the personality of a property more than almost any other feature. A bespoke timber window allows you to choose proportions, styles and detailing that perfectly complement your home, whether you are working with a period cottage, a modern extension or a traditional family home.
Options include:
- Traditional timber sash windows with heritage detailing
- Timber double-glazed windows for improved thermal efficiency
- Conservation-style casements that respect period architecture
- Clean, contemporary flush casements
Because every window is hand-made in our Hampshire workshop, you can select the timber species, glazing style, hardware and colour. This can be a natural finish that celebrates the grain, a subtle heritage shade for period properties or a contemporary painted colour for a modern look.
Performance is at the core of what we do. Timber is naturally insulating, plus combined with high quality glazing, offers exceptional efficiency and comfort. Every window is designed to provide:
- Reliable weather resistance
- Smooth, long-lasting operation
- Strong acoustic performance
- Long term stability and durability
With bespoke timber windows, you never have to choose between character and performance. You get both, designed exactly as you want them.
Timber External Doors: Designed to Make a Lasting First Impression
Your external door plays a key role in your home’s identity. It creates the first impression for guests and provides an everyday welcome for you. A bespoke timber external door allows you to ensure this impression truly reflects your style and your home’s architecture.
You can choose:
- Timber species such as oak, sapele or engineered hardwood
- Glazed, partially glazed or solid designs
- Panel layouts and decorative detailing
- Colours from subtle heritage tones to bold contemporary shades
These options help you achieve a door that either blends seamlessly with the building or stands out as a statement piece. Beyond appearance, performance is critical. Every door is built to provide strong insulation, reliable weather sealing and excellent security. Features such as multi-point locking systems, toughened glass and specialist insulation can all be included depending on your needs.
A handcrafted timber door has a weight, presence and tactile quality that manufactured alternatives cannot match. It closes smoothly, protects effectively and brings a sense of craftsmanship to the exterior of your home.
