Custom Furniture

With the current growing interest in the world of interior design, our interior designers are often more than ever asking about the merits of investing in high quality, bespoke furniture.

By now you know that a high-end sofa can look and feel very similar to a low-end sofa, with many differences that separate it from the boat. What makes custom furniture all the more viable? And where do you start when investing in custom-made collector’s furniture? And then there is the cost. How much does it cost to get custom furniture and how can you justify the initial sticker shock?

With this in mind, we have set ourselves the goal of uncovering some of the factors that make custom-made furniture appear all the more luxurious and worthwhile in terms of time and investment.

You get what you pay for

When it comes to custom-made furniture, this cliché is true, especially when it comes to quality furniture. After all, we know how easy it can be to be tempted to source cheaper furniture in order to spend less money. While this applies to the initial thrill of paying the least amount possible, cheaper furniture can cost you more over time, while also requiring more maintenance.

But at this point, none of this should come as a surprise. Cheaper furniture always has a limited lifespan, as constructions and materials of lower quality lead to faster wear and tear over a shorter period of time. And if you’ve had the chance to step onto a New York City sidewalk littered with brand new furniture, irreparable and waiting to get to the junkyard, you’ve probably noticed that new pieces don’t take long to fall Apart from that, it needs to be repaired or replaced with another cheap, poorly manufactured item. Over time, this will quickly cost more than a high-quality piece of furniture, which, unlike quick furniture, will last a lifetime.

Additionally, better quality furniture offers a much more inspiring look and goes better with the rest of your decor. What’s more, since whatever you bring into your home should benefit you and your family before anyone else, you should source high-quality, custom-made furniture that you will enjoy every day while you proud of long after you leave home Are your home.

Better quality means better comfort

Aside from requiring more maintenance and replacement, you are sure to find that cheap furniture gives you much less comfort and satisfaction than high quality or custom furniture.

Inexpensive, poorly made furniture will never be as comfortable as high quality furniture, even more so after long periods of use. The print furniture they get from everyday use features tell-tale signs with cheaper parts, from upholstery to construction. Worn upholstery, wobbly tables, and thinning materials never provide adequate and effective support – and they never look fresh either.

It can affect your health

It goes without saying that furniture that is uncomfortable will negatively affect your body over time. And while it may be a nuisance at first, over time it can take a more serious physical toll.

Even worse is the idea of ​​sitting for years on upholstered furniture that does not provide adequate and even support, as this can cause permanent discomfort to the back, neck, and hips and cause minor to severe damage to your circulatory and nervous systems. And with such problems comes costly and time-consuming medical treatments that can end up costing much more than any custom furniture.

That’s because it’s almost impossible to put together a collection of custom furniture at once, like no room can be decorated overnight.

Personalized styling

If you have a particular style, direction, or piece in mind, custom furniture can always help you create something unique that no one else will.

More for your money

Our decorators were quick to point out that even a novice in the design world can quickly tell the difference between cheap and luxurious furniture, and still be shocked when they see the price differences between handcrafted custom furniture versus mass-produced furniture. much cheaper and readily available furniture.

However, there is no doubt about the difference between the two.

Custom made furniture will always stand the test of time and be ready to battle the different elements of your lifestyle, whether you have children or pets.

Make it unique

While it can seem overwhelming at first, the endless design options that can be considered are another obvious benefit of sourcing custom furniture. From frames to fillings and upholstery to every detail, the options are enormous and you can make every single choice.

Heritage traditions

Just like a beautifully crafted heirloom dress, handcrafted furniture should be viewed as a privilege. Distinctive craftsmanship is sadly a profession that quickly becomes a lost art thanks to the culture of quick consumption and throwaway, which makes high-quality, custom-made furniture all the more important as it is, however, elusive. When creating custom furniture, make sure that you make sure that it has a story that can be shared across generations.

Most of the time, you will find that the artisans who make your custom furniture come not only from a place of know-how, but also from a place of passion and commitment to form and quality.

This makes custom pieces feel all the more unique as they bring their own story with them.
