BESPOKE
JOINERY
designed to become part of your home
Bespoke joinery is an opportunity to make a home work better.
Whether it's a library, a study, a media unit, or a dressing room, every piece should respond to the architecture of the space and the people who use it.
My role is to design joinery that is practical, beautifully made, and built to become part of the home.
Selected Projects
What I Design
Every bespoke joinery project begins with looking at the home as a whole. Whether it's a library, dressing room, media room or utility space, the aim is to create rooms that work together, both practically and visually.
ROA Design creates bespoke joinery for:
Dressing Rooms
Libraries
Home Offices
Media Rooms
Bars
Utility & Boot Rooms
Pantries
Bathrooms
Every home has its own character, and every room deserves the same level of attention.
Whether designing a library, pantry, home office, or media room, I begin by understanding the architecture of the space and how it will be used. Every element is carefully resolved to create joinery that feels like a natural part of the home

What makes a
great joinery project
01/ Understanding the Space
Good joinery starts with understanding the architecture of the home rather than trying to fit furniture into it.
02/ Materials
The choice of timber, stone, metal and finishes changes not only how something looks, but how it ages over time.
03/ Proportion
The difference between good and exceptional joinery often comes down to proportion—the relationship between cabinetry, surrounding architecture and natural light.
04/ Craftsmanship
A beautiful design only succeeds when it's executed with precision. That's why I work closely with specialist makers who share the same standards.
Details that matter
Beautiful joinery is rarely about a single feature. It's the result of hundreds of small decisions working in harmony: the alignment of cabinetry, the rhythm of shelving, the balance of open and concealed storage, the grain of the timber, the way natural light moves across the materials.
MEET Oana
For more than 14 years, I have specialised in bespoke kitchens and joinery, working with homeowners, architects, and design professionals across the UK and Europe.
My experience spans every stage of the process—from concept design and material selection to technical detailing, production, and installation. This understanding allows me to create spaces that are not only visually compelling, but also practical, well-resolved, and built to stand the test of time.
Today, through ROA Design, I work closely with a trusted network of specialist makers, fabricators, and suppliers to deliver thoughtfully designed kitchens tailored entirely to each client and their home.
Kind Words
Oana has been the single most supportive and creative designer we’ve worked with, ensuring client and contractors are fully in sync with the design ethos, creating a seamless build and ultimately ‘Vogue' worthy kitchens. As an interior designer and contractor working in some of the most prestigious properties in K&C, the list of kitchen/designers we can fully trust is somewhat niche. I am happy to say Oana is one of the very few we have full faith in.
Christopher Balthazar | London, UK
Whilst Oana may not be part of the organisation, she’s our go-to for important projects. We see her input as key to a successful project, and cannot thank her enough. Supportive in many areas of design, our clients are able to fully realise their vision, especially where they require inspiration. It’s something many don’t appreciate the gravitas of, however, Oana understands our ethos and contributes to excellent service as a default.
Holland Park Design & Build | London, UK
When we decided to redesign our kitchen and dining room, we needed someone who would actually listen. Every detail we mentioned, every piece of feedback, was reflected in the design.
Oana brought real experience and direction, turning our ideas into something tangible without losing what made them personal. The kitchen she created for us is beautiful, functional, and most importantly, it feels completely like us.
