Where To Start Shopping For Custom Furniture | Hand Made Furniture
In today’s world shopping for custom furniture often begins with an internet search
Put in keywords that fit what you want to build. Custom Dining Table Near Me. Bespoke Dresser. Wood Furniture Maker.
Before getting into the details of a build we recommend finding the right shop / people that fit in with your tastes, style, etc.
Look for a shop that you feel comfortable with discussing your visions, ideas, goals and wants. Without the right connection, the tasks get harder. The connection and communication need to be present and realistic.
With the right connection the artisan you choose should be looking around the corner, figuratively and literally. They should be 2-3 steps ahead of the project, identifying opportunities and pitfalls before any sawdust is created.
As an independent furniture maker I am not the right fit for everyone.
I ask a lot of questions and seek clients with a sense of collaborative curiosity and a desire to add positivity to their lifestyle. Details matter. Do it right, do it once.
A key first step here is to ask questions and be willing to answer questions to build an understanding of your vision and how you plan to use it. Custom furniture is an investment of time, energy and money. How do you want to influence your return?
Some buyers of this type of furniture will be all in, hands on, strong communication types while the others are ‘show me what your thoughts are and we will collaborate from there’ types.
Be specific with expectations during the process as well as the final result.
