Custom, bespoke furniture: the way to go

Why you should seriously consider getting some custom, made-to-measure furniture when designing your house.

Custom furniture is one of the most unexplored areas of interior design. But why is this? Well, the truth is, custom furniture is not as popular as it should be. Getting some high-quality, bespoke home décor is often associated with being a little posh and smug: why do you need to get an artisan craft from scratch or customize your furniture? What’s so special about you? This is -- sadly -- the general opinion, but what people fail to see is that bespoke furniture can actually be the wisest choice when it comes to some very specific issues you may encounter with some pieces. Which ones? Let’s find out!

Dining table

Sometimes we can be very lucky: we are looking for a dining table, and we stumble upon the one that fits perfectly in our dining room. In which case, amazing! But let’s face it, it isn’t easy finding a table which size is just perfect for our dining area: it’s either too long or too short, too wide, too tall, too low… Not to mention the material and the finish! Think about all the time you end up spending in your dining room: would you really like to be sitting at a table that deep down inside is always going to make you feel slightly annoyed at its imperfection?

Sofa

Another pretty important piece that you should consider having made to order. Of course, the degree of customization can be more or less extensive: it can involve both the shape and the size, which is actually pretty handy, if the living room corner where you want to place it has specific requirements. However, getting custom upholstery is what’s going to up your game! Doesn’t it feel just great to get to choose the thickness of the cushions, the color and the fabric?

Kitchen counters

Everyone has different needs when it comes to kitchens: it all boils down to how much space you have, plus crossing this factor with how often you cook and for how many people. In fact, especially if you enjoy cooking and you love experimenting with different recipes and hosting dinners, you are probably going to have very specific requirements when it comes to organizing your space. And this is where bespoke counters come in!

Light

Most of the times, we don’t actually have any particular requirements when it comes to lamps and lights. Or rather, we do have requirements, but it is safe to say that most lamps we find on the market can usually meet them. However, if there’s a corner of a room or a certain detail you need to illuminate in a certain way and you just cannot seem to find the perfect lamp to do that, maybe after all it is time to place an order for a made-to-order lamp!

Bed

Remember you are going to sleep in your bed for years! Are you sure just an average mattress will do? Moreover, you may like your headboard in a different material or color, or you may even have requirements size-wise. For instance, if you’re 6.7 feet tall, you may want to get a bespoke mattress on which you are actually able to stretch out without falling off.

Wood furniture

If you appreciate wood furniture (or natural materials anyway), you may want to consider switching to the made-to-order side of things. In fact, what makes this type of furniture so precious is precisely its unique, one-of-a-kind qualities.

Bathroom accessories

Some bathroom accessories are perfect even when they are industrial, serialized products: soap dishes, mats, towels, and so on. However, some other would work a lot better for your bathroom if they were made with your specific requirements in mind. Bathtub trays are a good example. True, you can get them online too, but a bespoke tray is not only going to match your bathtub measurements perfectly; it is also going to fuse seamlessly with its surroundings.
