When you’re furniture shopping, do you ever look at a piece and wonder how many other people own it? There’s nothing wrong with having a popular item or two in your home, but do you want all of your staple pieces to be a dime a dozen?
If you get your furniture custom made, however, you’re buying something that is both high-quality and one-of-a-kind. It’s unique to you, your lifestyle and your style.
Whether you’re decking out a new home or updating an old one, choosing custom design furniture that is Australian-made and locally manufactured means all the details can be worked out in person with no hassles or delays.
So, if you still need convincing, read on to discover the 3 biggest benefits of buying bespoke furniture…
Made to Suit
First things first – one of the most obvious reasons why handmade furniture is such a great idea is because everyone’s home is different. It only makes sense that everyone’s furniture should be different too.
Personalising your pieces means you can create a sense of harmony and fluidity by coordinating your new items to match or complement your existing items and home decor.
When you opt for tailor made furniture, you have control over every aspect of the design process, from selecting the materials to choosing the colours and finishes. This ensures that each piece seamlessly integrates into your home and enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. Whether you prefer a minimalist, rustic or modern style, bespoke furniture allows you to tailor every detail to align perfectly with your taste, personality and preferences.
By collaborating with skilled craftsmen, you can create pieces that embody your unique flair and character. Whether it's incorporating intricate carvings and engravings, mixing materials or making unconventional shapes, custom built furniture enables you to express yourself and infuse your living spaces with pieces that tell a story. Beyond mere functionality, these creations will spark conversations!
Made to Size
Custom fit furniture offers even more advantages when it comes to getting the size and spatial dynamics of your living areas just right. Off-the-shelf and floor room furniture usually come in standard sizes.
In contrast, custom-made pieces are crafted to fit your specific needs. Whether you're dealing with limited space, too much space or an oddly shaped room, custom made furniture allows you to maximise functionality without compromising on comfort or style.
It will also enable you to address specific space issues you might have, such as odd corners, obstructive walls or high ceilings. Maybe you need a modular design like a shelving unit for built-in storage. You might want an adjustable sit-stand desk for the home office, or a round coffee table to make a small living room feel bigger and be easier to move around.
The team here at ND Furniture will always take your room’s measurements and size requirements first to get the best result. This includes how many people it needs to seat, whether it needs drawers or discreet storage compartments and if it needs adjustments or additions to accommodate tech integration.
Made to Last
And last but not least is just that, lasting. Custom made furniture is a long-lasting and sustainable choice. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who prioritise quality over quantity as everything is made to order.
From the selection of premium materials to using time-honoured building techniques and joinery methods, every part of the manufacturing process is executed with a focus on excellence, ensuring that each piece not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of quality.
The bespoke nature of custom furniture promotes longevity, as pieces are made to withstand the test of time both in terms of durability and style. Unlike disposable furniture that quickly succumbs to wear and tear, custom-made pieces are built to last for generations. This makes them a timeless and wise investment for environmentally-conscious consumers and the family members they can pass the piece down to.
Here at ND Furniture, our products are crafted from locally sourced materials. We predominately work with recycled and reclaimed timbers like Stringybark, Messmate, Tasmanian Oak, Jarrah and more, which minimises our environmental impact by reducing waste and mass-produced practices like fast furniture.
