Bespoke Furniture Design
Creating unique furniture pieces tailored to client specifications. Our design process begins with detailed consultation to understand spatial requirements and aesthetic preferences. Using responsibly sourced timber, we produce drawings and samples before fabrication, ensuring every element aligns with the client's vision while maintaining structural integrity and functionality.
Sustainable Timber Sourcing
Specialising in ethically sourced Scottish hardwoods for all furniture production. We maintain strict sourcing protocols to ensure environmental responsibility, working with certified suppliers who practice sustainable forestry. This approach reduces ecological impact while maintaining the quality and durability expected from premium timber materials.

The service includes final adjustments to guarantee seamless integration with existing spaces, whether in residential homes or commercial environments across the Lothians region.
Consultation Services

This service helps clients visualise potential outcomes before committing to fabrication, ensuring optimal use of space and aesthetic harmony.
Custom Cabinet Making
Crafting bespoke storage solutions to maximise functionality in residential and commercial settings. Using traditional joinery techniques combined with modern manufacturing methods, we create cabinets that optimise space efficiency while maintaining visual appeal.

Mrs. McCleary
We visited no less than six kitchen companies before we found Diggin furniture. Sean was the only one who listened to us and could give us exactly what we wanted. We told him our maximum budget, which was substantially less than some prices we were given, and he managed to give us everything we wanted within the budget. The quality and beauty of the kitchen gives our home the real WOW factor we were looking for. We would recommend Sean and his team to anyone.
Mrs. Nicholas
We are really pleased with all the book and CD shelves as well as the hatch doors. Thank you very much for the excellent quality of design, build and installation of all of the pieces. They really enhance our home and, as you know, are being much admired by our visitors. Please also pass on our thanks to the team, and we do appreciate how careful and considerate you all were.
