Benefits of Custom Furniture

An Image SlideshowAn Image SlideshowAfter making the decision to buy a new piece of furniture—a larger investment, for many us—we have the choice to either purchase from a chain furniture store or opt for custom furniture. For most, the deterrent to custom furniture is the cost; however, by looking at the true benefits of custom furniture and its greatly increased product value, we see that saving a little bit on mass manufactured pieces may not be worth it.

There are several benefits to custom furniture, and the biggest two are definitely value and quality.

When a company is required to manufacture large volumes of furniture, it’s inevitable that the quality of the furniture will have to be somewhat sacrificed. That’s not to say that several Atlanta Furniture store chains don’t offer good quality pieces. But, when furniture is custom made, time is taken to perfect every detail, and a skilled pair of hands and eyes ensures that it’s made soundly and correctly. Plus, the added cost of custom furniture often compensates for experienced craftsmanship and high quality supplies.

Once you compare the lifespan of a budget piece of furniture to that of custom furniture, it’s easy to see the value. Longer lasting fabrics, sturdier frames, more supportive cushioning, a longer life…these all add to the value of custom furniture. Discuss cost comparisons and value with your furniture designer/builder. He or she may even be able to show you where you are saving, in some cases, by cutting out the retail middleman and working directly with the manufacturer.

In addition, there is a freedom of design that comes with custom furniture that you absolutely cannot get with pre-made pieces. Whether you’re home has a sleek, modern feel or it’s influenced by Asian design—or anything in between—you can have custom furniture made to incorporate seamlessly. Colors, shape, style, textures…you have the freedom to determine exactly the look of the finished product.

Not just that, you can customize the functionality of tailored furniture. If you need extra storage or if your home has an oddly shaped room that no traditional piece of furniture will properly fit, you can have a piece made to your exact specifications to meet the needs of your space.

If you’re trying to make the decision of whether or not to buy custom furniture, ask yourself:  If you’re willing to invest in a new piece of furniture, should it be a durable piece that meets you, your family and your household’s needs? Many people decide that spending a little extra now to have the perfect, longer-lasting piece in the future is worth it.

At Domestic Comfort, we know the benefits custom furniture offers, and we’re passionate about handing these down to each and every one of our buyers. So if you’re deciding between traditional, big box store furniture and having your piece customized, give us a call to discuss the difference.
