Clients often tell me about their struggle choosing what furniture to buy for their home. Recently (we'll call them the Smiths) shared their debate between purchasing cheap, mass-produced, practical pieces from retail or spending a higher dollar amount on custom, long-term, high-quality furnishings. 

Being a young family with toddlers and pets, the Smiths asked if the higher price tag was worth it for a high-activity household. Without hesitation, my answer was a resounding "YES!" 

Custom furniture is the perfect choice for any home because it is created specifically for your needs, with exceptional materials, and with your comfort a priority.

Benefit #1: Quality That Stands The Test of Time

Custom furniture is often referred to as "heirloom pieces" due to the high craftsmanship and long-term use that comes along with each piece. Custom window treatments are wonderful as they can be made in any style or size needed and in a plethora of different fabrics. 

The quality of construction for any custom piece is usually coupled with outstanding warranties and customer service support.

Benefit #2: Customization For Ultimate Comfort

By using specific measurements and materials, you, as the purchaser, can make your purchase with practicality and ease. After all, part of the beauty of ordering custom is the ability to customize! 

Any piece can be custom-made to fit your needed width, depth, length, or height. Plus, extra lengths can be added to ensure the ultimate comfort, such as lining, motorized components, or extra down.

Benefit #3: One of a kind Pieces to Suit Your Style

Style customization options are limitless when it comes to custom furnishings. Choosing fabrics, arm and leg styles, piping or two-tone, window treatment hardware, paint color, etc., are all part of the fun of curtailing your items to your taste. 

Once your furniture is home, your unique, one-of-a-kind pieces will come with a story that can be passed down for generations.

As an established interior designer, it is a huge benefit for my clients to have access to my trade-only showrooms and custom workrooms. It takes much less time to source from my curated vendor list than from retail. 

Any product that is considered "to the trade" will be set up to create exclusivity to me and protect you from expensive oversights. Additionally, my experience and connections allow me to steer my clients on how to best spend on their custom furnishings.
