Furniture obviously plays a large part in that – from choosing the perfect sofa to the most efficient storage solution - so we’ve brought together a few of the best places to shop for home furniture in Newcastle to suit all kinds of tastes and budgets.

Everything they sell is made-to-measure and hand finished to the highest standard, with prices for custom made modular kitchens starting at around £30,000. They still sell freestanding items as well, for kitchens and other rooms.
