Furniture - Custom Design

  • Browse the local directory for Custom Furniture



Are you looking for a piece of furniture that is uniquely you? It is possible to get furniture designed to the exact specifications that you want, and built especially. Read on to learn more.

Furniture Design

The primary role of a furniture designer is to develop and prepare furniture ready for building, paying particular attention to the aspects of furniture that relate to human usage and behaviour, product appeal, and fashion. Essentially, they build a piece of furniture that is aesthetically appealing while still being practical. As well as a specialist furniture designer, furniture design can be undertaken by interior designers, architects, carpenters, or joiners. Furniture design aims to find a solution to problems such as affordability, ergonomics, and manufacturing (or the ability of the item to actually be made). The end result is a piece of furniture that looks like it has always been in your home. They select the materials for the piece, produce instructions on how the furniture is to be made, and also oversee the production of the furniture so that refinements may be made where necessary.

Custom Building

Custom building simply refers to the ability to have a piece of furniture custom-made to your requirements. You could get just the one piece of furniture made, or choose to have your whole house custom-furnished. The style is limited only by your imagination. When looking for a custom furniture builder, pay attention to what they will make (some will make only wooden products, while others will make couches, for example), what material they work in, what styles they specialise in, and any specialties that they may have. The custom furniture builder should guide you through the commissioning process and work with you to realise your vision – whether you come to them with just an idea or with a fully formed concept. At the end of the process, you should end up with a piece of furniture that is truly one-of-a-kind, and ready to become an heirloom. Because custom furniture is fully handmade, it is made to the highest quality and from the best materials available.

Remove Limitations with Custom Furniture

It can be more expensive to have furniture custom-made but if you have something specific in mind, it is your best option. Most furniture stores simply cannot provide a truly unique piece. Perhaps you see a piece of furniture in a shop that you love but isn’t quite right. You can take the general specifications to the designer/builder and they will be able to modify it until it’s just right. For example, it could be that you found the perfect couch but it was upholstered in the wrong material, or you found a beautiful dining setting but it was a little too small, or made from the wrong wood. Custom design can fix these problems. Types of Furniture that can be Custom-Built or Designed

Almost any type of furniture can be designed and built to your requirements, in the material and style that you choose. Some examples include:

  • dining suites
  • front doors
  • kitchens
  • bookcases
  • entertainment units
  • display cabinets
  • buffets and hutches
  • beds
  • cupboards
