Our ebay listings can be viewed HERE and paper copies of our booklet can be sent to you by post or emailed on request.

Handmade bench / stool

This small, solid oak bench was designed and made to fit with a customer's existing dining table. It is the perfect little 'pull-out' for extra seating. This bench could be made to any size or finish , making it ideal as extra seating around a dining table. It could easily push under the table and out of the way when not in use.


Perfect for those Christmas get togethers!

All change

There are some very exciting changes happening here at AJB Interiors. 

As we seem to have outgrown our little workshop below the Skipton shop we are moving on to pastures new (well, down the road to Bingley actually!) to our new, larger workshop. 

For some time now we have had to concentrate more and more on the production and design of our furniture and have found that we are increasingly less able to give the shop the love and attention it deserves.

So, we are passing the reigns of the shop over to Mark who will be launching his new look furniture and interiors shop in the coming weeks. We will still be supplying the shop with our handmade furniture and orders can still be taken for our bespoke items through Mark.

We will also continue to take direct orders for our made-to-order furniture and home accessories as we always have and hope that our new workshop will mean we can deliver an even better level of service to customers old and new. 

Once we are settled in to our lovely new premises we hope to push AJB Interiors forward, explore exciting new areas and to design and create some great new products. We hope you will support Mark and the new look shop as you have supported us and we wish him every success.

ebay update

This week we have been working on updating our ebay listings. They now provide our customers with more information in an easier to read format (hopefully!) and we have listed 10 of our best sellers to see how the new layout is received. 

We also have a new 'about me' page on ebay that you can see by clicking here.

kitchen makeover

A kitchen is often one of the most expensive rooms of your home to makeover. Appliances, tiles, and granite can all add up to an eye-watering cost! But freshening up your kitchen needn't cost a fortune. If the basics of your kitchen are sound you can make some simple changes to bring new life into your kitchen.

We created brand new, handmade, made-to-measure replacement doors and drawer fronts in solid oak for this kitchen. The result is a fresh, new looking kitchen at a fraction of the cost.

If you would like a quote for us to create drawer fronts, doors, shelving, furniture or fascias for your kitchen please get in touch. We would be more than happy to talk it over with you.

driftwood lamp

Light up your life with one of our natural driftwood table lamps.
Handmade using 100% natural driftwood our table lamps give a touch of nature to any interior, with a soft glow that highlights the natural shapes and colours of the wood.

Wonderfully aged and weather worn, driftwood hints at long journeys spent at sea and makes each of our lamps beautiful and unique.

Prices start at just £40.

This lamp is currently for sale on ebay.

Our lamps are made using natural Scottish driftwood. We do not use moulded resin, bleach or treat the wood. We believe the beauty of driftwood is the way nature has formed it. We also sell driftwood mirrors, frames and candle holders.

Please get in touch for more information.

reasons to buy british...

We found this brilliant list on the www.frombritainwithlove.com website

and just couldn't resist pinching it!

1. Make it... Original

Say goodbye to bland, mass-produced products, and instead choose original and distinctive products that you love, and which reflect your own individual style.

2. Make it... Local

Shop local and discover exciting new products and regional specialities... and it's not just food: think of Welsh blankets, Sussex trugs and Scottish cashmere

3. Make it... Last

Ditch the disposable and choose products made from quality materials which transcend trends and age gracefully to become heirlooms of the future. When you know a product has been made with love, you won’t want to throw it away.

4. Make it... Matter

Support home-grown talent, creativity and innovation. With the growth of online retail, it’s never been easier to buy direct from artists, designers, craftspeople and food producers. Your purchases matter to independent businesses and they rely on your support.

5. Make it... Sustainable

Buy less and treasure it more. Buying locally produced products helps reduce your carbon footprint, and by keeping things for longer you’ll save money in the long term and help reduce landfill too.

6. Make it... Count

Investing in bespoke, handmade or one-off products from innovative British artists and designer-makers can be a great investment that will grow in value while you enjoy owning them.

7. Make it... Personal

Meet the people who make your products. From craft fairs to farmers markets and open studios to art galleries, meet talented British producers and find out more about how they work.

8. Make it... Fun

Once you start buying British made products, you’ll be hooked! Travel anywhere in Britain and you’ll constantly be on the lookout for local producers, shops and markets where you can seek out exciting new products and local specialities to take home with you.

9. Make it... Yourself

There’s nothing more satisfying than making something for your home or giving a gift that you’ve made yourself. So why not have fun and learn a new skill on one of the many exciting courses run by talented producers across the British Isles.

10. Make it... Happen!

We’re constantly inspired by the producers we meet and the fantastic products they make and we hope you will be too. Spread the word!

NEW ajb interiors photo album

We have a brand new online photo album to showcase some of our handmade furniture and a selection of images of our interiors shop. The album can be seen in full... here.

Radiator covers, more than just a pretty face?

There's no getting away from the fact that radiators aren't usually the most attractive feature of a room but made-to-order covers can offer so much more than simply covering up unsightly radiators.

Here are our top 5 reasons for using radiator covers:

1. A radiator cover enhances the appearance of your room. The most obvious benefit of having a radiator cover is that it can hide a radiator that you feel lets down the decor of the room. There

are plenty of designs to choose from so find the right one to suit your style and interior.

2. A radiator cover can be used as an item of furniture. Use the top portion of your radiator cover as additional space. Use it as a shelf to display items such as books, memorabilia, picture frames, ornaments, candles and anything else that you can think of.

3. Radiator covers can help lower down your heating bills. A radiator cover can direct heat out into a room rather than letting it move up towards the ceiling. This helps to spread the heat and is particularly good for radiators positioned underneath windows.

4. Radiator covers are easy to care for. Radiator covers help prevent the hard to remove dust and dirt that accumulates on and behind the radiator. They also offers

protection for your radiator from knocks and scratches.

5. Radiator covers offer protection from hot radiators. This is especially good for children. The radiator cover allows you to have your radiators on full during cold winter days with the knowledge that they are out of reach of little hands.

If you would like a quote for a radiator cover for your home please get in touch. We can make them to most sizes and styles.

Show your home some love this valentine's day with these simple ideas.

We love these woven hearts. They look lovely displayed together in sets, freestanding on a shelf or windowsill or hung with ribbon on a wall or door. After all, home is where the rustic willow heart is.

Dimensions: available in a range of sizes

The cut outs in our standing heart tealight holder provide a pretty glow making it a wonderful way to illuminate an intimate table for two or for adding just the right mood lighting when you're feeling romantic.

Dimensions: 30cm x 28cm

As the song says 'Wherever You Lay Your Hat, That's Your Home' and these heart hooks provide the ideal place to do just that. If you don't have a hat why not try a coat, a dressing gown or even a towel or two?

Dimensions: we sell these heart hooks as double and single hooks
