Bespoke Handmade Kitchens & Furniture in Lincoln
Established in 2005, Rinaldi Furniture has cultivated a distinguished reputation for excellence in bespoke design and craftsmanship within Lincolnshire. Founded by Tim Rinaldi, a Leicestershire-born artisan with a natural affinity for woodwork, our journey began with a five-year apprenticeship and culminated in a BA Honours degree in Furniture Design and Manufacture from the University of Lincoln. Our workshop, nestled within the idyllic Hall Farm in Harpswell, serves as the creative hub where skilled craftsmen transform locally sourced timbers into timeless pieces of functional art. Recognised with the Best of Houzz award in 2017 for client satisfaction, we have also undertaken prestigious projects, including furniture for the Australian Embassy in London. Our commitment to quality, respect for materials, and dedication to client collaboration underpin every commission, ensuring each piece reflects the unique personality of its space and owner.With over two decades of experience, we specialise in creating bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, cabinetry, and freestanding furniture, blending traditional techniques with modern innovation. Our membership in the Northern Contemporary Furniture Association underscores our standing within the industry, while our avoidance of endangered timbers demonstrates environmental responsibility. From initial consultation to final installation, we prioritise transparency, no hidden costs, and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring client visions are realised with unparalleled artistry. This enduring ethos has solidified our position as trusted creators for discerning homeowners across Lincolnshire and beyond.

Bespoke Kitchens
We design and craft unique kitchens tailored to individual lifestyles and spaces. Using solid woods and premium veneers, our kitchens combine aesthetic appeal with functional excellence. Each project begins with a consultation to understand client needs, followed by detailed design proposals and meticulous installation.
Fitted Wardrobes
Our fitted wardrobes optimise space in bedrooms of all shapes and sizes. Custom solutions accommodate sloping ceilings, awkward angles, and period features while maintaining seamless design continuity. Handcrafted joinery ensures durability and visual harmony with existing interiors.
Cabinetry
From media units to display cabinets, our cabinetry merges form and function. Precision craftsmanship creates storage solutions that enhance room aesthetics while meeting specific organisational needs. Available in contemporary or traditional styles using sustainably sourced materials.
Freestanding Furniture
We create statement furniture pieces including tables, desks, and bookcases. Each item balances artistic expression with practicality, serving as both functional objects and decorative focal points within residential spaces across Lincolnshire and surrounding areas.
Commissioned Pieces
Our commission process involves collaborative design development from concept to installation. Clients receive detailed proposals, material samples, and progress updates throughout the creation of one-of-a-kind furniture pieces that reflect personal tastes and spatial requirements.

I have just had a set of beautiful hand crafted french doors Tim designed and made for me fitted and couldnt be happier with them. He was extremely professional and helpful throughout and the finished result is even better than I had hoped.

I cannot say enough nice things about Tim and the whole team!! I had all new replacement hardwood windows and doors made and fitted and I can only describe the end result as just stunning. My house is a very old and very wonky stone cottage - which always throws up multiple problems for anyone trying to complete any work on it - but the attention to detail and care/patience that Anthony & Dan put into the fitting was just fantastic! Thanks so much to the whole team - I am over the moon with the result!!

Amazing service and excellent quality of workmanship. We had beautiful double doors made by Tim and fitted by his team a while ago. I was able to choose my own design, and all the important details for the doors, panelling and fitted shelves.
Tim is a very skilled craftsman and produces beautiful end products. This year we had a set of furniture made by Tim for the dressing room in the master bedroom, including wardrobes and cabinets with drawers. Again, the quality is second to none, I much appreciated to be able to choose my own design and with Tims help the result is stunning. The members

Tim built a bespoke oak kitchen for us. We live in an old cottage and wanted a new oak kitchen but with a rustic look. Tim absolutely delivered! From the start we were very much involved with the design and the choice of the oak - Tim found the exact type of oak planks we wanted and even gave them a brushed finish to accentuate the grains. (we LOVE the end result)
Installation was done by Tim and Anthony - again, this process went very smoothly: they came with enough dust sheets to protect our floor and every evening, all the tools were tidied away and the dust hoovered.

First class service from start to finish and a beautiful finished product, we cannot recommend Rinaldi Furniture highly enough. Our kitchen project was not run of the mill and Tim went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. Tim's fitting team are by far the tidiest tradesmen that we have ever come across and the whole team are a pleasure to deal with. We will not hesitate to use Rinaldi Furniture again in the future.
