5 Reasons to Invest in Custom Furniture

What is Custom Furniture


Have you ever looked through a home design magazine and wondered, "why can't my home look like that?" Well, not only has a designer put a lot of time and thought into each room, but
each piece is picked out with a purpose in mind. Given that it is a significant investment, you should consider this trifecta:


  1. Quality materials
  2. Fit your style
  3. Consider the entire space


The last thing you want is to spend on a piece that will not go with your space. That’s why I always recommend to my clients to invest in a custom furniture piece or two.


Custom furniture is personalized furniture pieces, from sofas, and beds to dining sets, that reflect your design style. It is made to order considering the measurements in your space and is built using your fabric selection, colors, textures, dimensions, and look preferences. 


It is a one-of-a-kind piece that fits perfectly and complements the rest of the elements in your room. 


If you’re considering adding a customized furniture piece to your room,
I’d recommend talking to an interior designer. Their expertise will give you the confidence to make the proper selections for your space.


If you’re still thinking about it, let me walk you through the five benefits of customizing your furniture for your home:


1. It Will Suit Your Style


One of the main reasons you should invest in custom furniture is that it can be tailored to your style. If you value unique and individual pieces, custom furniture is the way to go. With a range of styles and materials to choose from, you can design truly one-of-a-kind pieces. For example, for this sectional, my client requested to be manufactured with a shorter height. We selected a performance fabric that is easy to clean and maintain, and we complemented it with the leather ottoman to create a statement and add some contrast to this room.

2. It fits Your Space Perfectly


Custom furniture it’s designed to fit your space perfectly and can be personalized to piece together with the dimensions of your room, ensuring that it’s optimized for comfort and functionality.


For this project, my client requested a live-edge dining table to fit the long and narrow dining space in the kitchen area.  The rustic feel of the table is a nice contrast to the clean, white kitchen and adds warmth and texture. Then we paired some sleek, leather dining chairs with this table.

3. Lots of Fabrics to Choose From


When investing in custom furniture, you'll have access to a wide range of fabrics including leathers. You want to consider what makes sense for your family and complements your room's decor.


Using a performance fabric that cleans easily is a must especially if you have kids and pets around the house.


Fabric can be used to create a statement as well. In this project, we went with a fun cheetah fabric to add a pop of color and texture. This inviting kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests.

4. The Details


I love how small things go a long way. With customized furniture, you can specify every detail, from the fabric, shape, colors, textures, and dimensions of your piece, allowing your furniture to be unique and meet your needs and wants. For example, in this project remodel, my clients wanted to transform their bedroom into a relaxing haven that would be a safe space to disconnect and recharge after a long day. That’s why we chose a canopy bed to recreate a hotel-like suite.


I love how my clients now have a retreat in their own home! Let me know what you think about this makeover in the comments below.

5. Quality


Invest in quality over quantity. I tell my clients, quality furniture is a short term investment with a long term ROI. With customized furniture, not only will you get a unique piece of furniture that matches your style but something that withstands the test of time. Save time and energy by not shopping for a new sofa every 3 years.


For this project, we chose a robust and resistant wood table for the dining set, perfect to endure the wear and tear of everyday life. For the chair cushions, we also opted for a performance fabric that is easy to maintain. I love how the navy frames stand out against the table color.
