Custom Furniture Handcrafted in Ontario
When off-the-shelf simply will not do, Bateman creates one-of-a-kind furniture pieces for homes across Muskoka, Barrie, Simcoe County, and the Greater Toronto Area. Every piece is designed, built, and finished entirely in our Oro-Medonte workshop.
Bespoke Furniture for Muskoka, Barrie & GTA Homes
At Bateman, custom furniture is not about replicating a catalogue piece in a different size. It is about creating something entirely new — a live-edge dining table for a Muskoka cottage, an entertainment unit that integrates seamlessly with a Barrie living room, or a desk that transforms a spare corner into a productive home office. We serve homeowners across Simcoe County, Georgian Bay, Collingwood, and the GTA.
We work with a wide range of premium hardwoods, including walnut, white oak, maple, and cherry, selecting each board for grain character and structural integrity. Our joinery techniques — from mortise-and-tenon to dovetail — ensure that every piece is built to be used, loved, and handed down.
Handcrafted Furniture Built Without Compromise
Dining Tables
From intimate four-seat tables to grand harvest designs that anchor a room, our dining tables are crafted from solid hardwood with hand-selected grain patterns and precision joinery built for decades of daily use.
Entertainment Units
Custom media walls and entertainment centres designed to house your technology discreetly while making a striking visual statement. Integrated cable management, adjustable shelving, and concealed storage keep everything clean and organized.
Home Office
Purpose-built desks, credenzas, and workstations designed for productivity and comfort. We incorporate wire management, integrated power, file storage, and ergonomic proportions tailored to your work habits.
Shelving & Storage
Freestanding and wall-mounted shelving systems that combine open display with concealed storage. Each unit is designed to complement your room's proportions and hold everything from books to collectibles with effortless elegance.
One of a kind —
built to last a lifetime.
Commission a Piece
We asked Bateman to build a walnut dining table for our new home. From the first sketch to delivery, the process was seamless. The table is stunning — the grain, the finish, the proportions. It has become the centrepiece of every gathering.
