Made to Order: Crafted for You
In a world filled with instant purchases and quick fixes, there’s something rare about an item that exists only because you wanted it, designed, made, and finished with you in mind. At Liv+, every product we sell follows that principle. Whether it’s a basin, tapware, or surface material, nothing begins production until you’ve chosen it.
This means that your order isn’t pulled from a shelf or packaged from a bulk shipment. It’s crafted from scratch in Europe, by skilled makers and designers who understand that great design takes time. On average, the process takes around eight weeks. For some, that might feel like a long wait. But when you consider what’s happening in that time, the sourcing of materials, precision manufacturing, hand-finishing, and quality checks, it becomes clear that this is the natural pace of creating something worth owning.
Why Made to Order Matters
When something is made specifically for you, it stops being just another item. It becomes personal. The collections we work with are designed to be versatile, so you can customise the details to suit your exact needs. That might mean altering a basin size that works perfectly for your bathroom layout, selecting a tap finish that ties together your entire design, or commissioning a benchtop in surface and size that feels right for your space.
These options aren’t limited to surface changes. In many cases, the customisations extend to dimensions, configurations, edge profiles, integrated features, and even the way materials are treated and finished. This level of choice means that what you receive isn’t just “close enough” to what you imagined, it’s exactly what you imagined.
Time as Part of the Craft
There’s a reason why made-to-order pieces can’t be rushed. Quality craftsmanship takes time. The brands we represent work with advanced manufacturing techniques, often blending traditional skills with cutting-edge technology. A single piece may go through multiple stages: initial fabrication, finishing, quality inspections, and final assembly. Each stage requires specialist hands and a dedication to every last detail.
The lead time also ensures that every component is created in harmony with your selections. It’s not just production, it’s coordination, attention, and the assurance that what you’re getting meets the highest standard.
A Worthwhile Investment
Made-to-order is not about waiting for the sake of it. It’s about creating something that’s yours in every sense: functionally, aesthetically, and emotionally. Unlike mass-produced items, where compromises are built in for efficiency, these pieces are designed to suit your life, your space, and your taste, without any compromises having to be made.
When your order arrives, you’ll know it hasn’t been sitting in storage or handled by countless people before you. It will be new in the truest sense: crafted recently, with your specifications guiding the process from start to finish.
In the end, the eight weeks you spend waiting will be a small fraction of the years you spend enjoying your piece. And that’s the real beauty of made to order, it’s not just about having something new, it’s about having something that is perfect for the desired space.
