When it comes to designing your home, one of the most important decisions you'll make is selecting the right furniture. While there are plenty of great retail options available on the market, investing in custom furniture can offer a range of benefits that make it well worth the extra cost. Let’s explore some of the reasons why you should consider investing in custom furniture for your next design project.

1. Custom Furniture is a Perfect Fit for Your Space.

One of the most significant benefits of custom furniture is that it can be designed specifically to fit your space. This is especially important if you have an unusual or non-standard space that requires furniture with specific dimensions. With custom furniture, you can work with us to create pieces that perfectly fit your space, ensuring that your furniture is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

2. Custom Furniture is Unique and Personalized.

When you invest in custom furniture, you're getting a piece that is unique and personalized to your tastes and needs. As professional designers, we can help create a piece that is perfectly tailored to your style, ensuring that it fits in seamlessly with the rest of your décor resulting in a cohesive design. This also allows you to incorporate elements of your personal style that you may not be able to find in ready-made options. It’s an opportunity to get really creative and design something that truly “looks” like you, not the same furniture pieces half of the houses in your city have (major eyeroll and yawn).

3. Custom Furniture Provides High-Quality Materials and Craftsmanship.

Custom furniture is typically made from higher quality materials than your typical retail options. You can choose materials that are both durable and beautiful (like performance fabric for high traffic areas with kids or pets), ensuring that your furniture lasts for years to come. Additionally, custom furniture is often crafted by skilled artisans who have perfected their craft and take pride in their work. This means that the craftsmanship is often of a higher caliber than mass-produced furniture. It’s also important to know that as designers, we have relationships with master carpenters and builders like BuildLane, who deliver high quality materials and workmanship. They’re not Hank the Handyman down the street. Check out the custom bed with a seven-foot headboard we designed for one of our past client projects.

4. Custom Furniture is a Long-Term Investment.

While custom furniture may be more expensive upfront, it can actually be a long-term investment that saves you money in the long run. Ready-made furniture often needs to be replaced after just a few years, whereas custom furniture is built to last. Additionally, because custom furniture is unique and personalized, it doesn't go out of style as quickly as mass-produced options, meaning you won't need to replace it as frequently to keep up with current trends. It will truly be one-of-a-kind.

5. Custom Furniture is Sustainable and Eco-Friendly.

Another great benefit of investing in custom furniture is that it can be a more sustainable and eco-friendly option. Sustainability has become such a huge force in home design since the pandemic hit us. More homeowners are seeking sustainable materials to be healthier inside their homes (i.e. materials that don’t produce toxic off-gassing, no or low VOC paint, etc.). With custom furniture, you can choose materials that are environmentally friendly and sustainable, such as reclaimed wood or bamboo. Additionally, because custom furniture is built to last, you'll be contributing to a culture of conscious consumption by reducing waste and reducing the demand for mass-produced furniture.

Key takeaway: Investing in custom furniture should always be considered as an option when designing your new space. Although a factor, don’t let the cost deter you from making a wise choice. You can’t go wrong! From a perfect fit and unique style to high-quality craftsmanship and long-term investment, custom furniture is a fabulous and smart way to enhance the look and feel of your home while also making a positive impact on the environment.
