Why Bother with Custom?

  • There are plenty of decent and some even great sofas available off-the-shelf. Why custom? The honest answer is - it’s not for everyone. If you are living in a rented space that’s easy to work with and just want something of value that looks nice but could be better, or don’t have a strong interest in home design, custom is probably not for you. However if you are a homeowner of any kind, and especially if you care how your home looks, custom in most cases is the best option.

    Here’s why. You just spent a LOT of money on a house. Your living room is the main room in your home, the heart, the gathering place, and the place where you will probably spend the most waking hours if you don’t have a home office. Don’t you want that to be a great room, that’s beautiful, functional and comfortable? Of course. The main piece of furniture in that room, which essentially becomes the main piece of furniture in your house - is your sofa. What is the likelihood of you stumbling into an off-the-shelf sofa that check’s all the boxes without making compromises on one or many of these elements:

    • The right configuration - sofa, sofa-chaise, 2 arm sectional, etc, with the optimal overall dimensions to fit your room in a functional way

    • The right style - modern, transitional, traditional, etc

    • The right ergonomics - soft, firm, down wrapped, deep, shallow, etc

    • The right material - fabric type, fabric color, or leather.

    • Quality made - something that doesn’t just look good, but will last

    …the likelihood of finding that ideal sofa off-the-shelf is very low. With a custom made piece, you can design and have us make that no-compromises sofa or section for your space. It will not be A sofa, it will be YOUR sofa.
