When you think of custom furniture, do you imagine expensive, elaborate and over the top furniture? The reality is far from this perception. In fact, bespoke furniture can be a very affordable way to furnish your home. This article will look at several reasons why this is.
Get What You Want For The Price You Want
The first thing to know is that custom furniture allows you to get a piece of furniture that meets your requirements at a budget that suits your wallet. Consider this scenario. You see a table you really like, with a great design, in a normal furniture shop. It is perfect apart from the fact it has no extendable function. The store has a more expensive version that has this feature along with a more elaborate design. However, it is out of budget. This leaves you with either purchasing a product that’s not fit for purpose, or going over budget for a feature you need, but also paying for something you don't need.
Custom furniture on the other hand gives you the best of both worlds. Imagine the same scenario, where you need a table with an extender function. You already have a design in mind, and you have a budget set. Your furniture designer can add all these requirements together and create a piece that matches all your needs.
Increased Lifespan
Another great benefit of choosing bespoke furniture is increased lifespan. Most people don’t consider longevity when buying furniture. This is actually a very important consideration and shouldn't be overlooked! While you could go to an Ikea store and buy a standard set of chairs and a table, they may not last that long. On the other hand, custom furniture is usually built to a very high standard, meaning it will last much longer than an off the peg solution.
What does this mean? A custom piece of furniture may cost more initially, but it can become much cheaper over it’s entire lifespan, since this kind of furniture is built to a much higher standard. Not only that, but the resale value will be higher, especially if it is made by a reputable workshop. This is helpful if your situation changes and you no longer have room for the furniture.
Stronger And More Durable
The final thing to consider when deciding between custom furniture and off the shelf furniture is durability. Often, shop bought furniture is made with a certain price point in mind. Corners are cut in the design to meet this price. This results in inferior wood, poor manufacturing technique and a harder to maintain design.
On the flip side, custom made furniture is much different. Craftsmen know what materials are necessary to build a long lasting, stronger and more durable piece of furniture, and ensure these basic components are a part of every design they make. When budget is an issue, cuts can instead be made in unnecessary areas, for example visuals, while the key fundamental design can be to a very high quality. The result is custom made furniture is much longer stronger and can withstand constant use for many years.
