FURNITURE TYPES
You may already have an idea on what your'e looking for, but here are some ideas of key furniture pieces. Buying custom is a much better option than Target or West Elm. You get exactly what you want. It will fit your space and your style exactly, instead of buying what a large store decides is cool. But the main thing is the quality. You don't want to spend $1500 on a table every 3 years. Instead get something that your grandkids can literally dance on. And thats after all the dancing you've already been able to do yourself.
TABLES
Tables are one of the best custom pieces you can buy. Its larger and longer lasting than many other types of furniture in the home, and oftentimes a center piece in a room. Getting a table you like and won't regret, is better than settling for something okay. Solid wood lasts longer, and can even be refinished or touched up if desired.
END TABLES
There are many styles of end tables: Drawers, doors, shelves, floating, legs, box, walnut, plywood, painted. Often customers come with an idea they want to emulate. But if you want something more unique, we are absolutely the people to ask to design it. End tables normally are used next to a couch, chair, or bed, and need to be at the correct height for that piece of furniture. When you are brainstorming, see what average elevation might work best for you in that location.
SHELVES
This includes floating shelves and bookshelves. Shelves are a huge part of organizing your house. why not get something that will double as wall art, and makes your house unique and stunning.
CHAIRS/BENCHES
Seating is an important part of any house: from dining chairs to lounge chairs, to benches by the front door to put your shoes on. Chairs can accentuate your dining table or be a comfortable alternative to your couch. Figure out what role you want your chair to fill, and that will dictate the sizing and angles of comfort.
VANITIES
Bathroom remodels are a popular way to improve your house. Often the vanity is something that is overlooked and is simply a way to hold up the sink. But instead of buying a white melamine box, choose something that will elevate your bathroom. Whether you want a rustic open style, or a midcentury style with angled legs, or any other ideas you have, vanities can be just what your bathroom needs.
COFFEE TABLES
The centerpiece of a living room, coffee tables are an important piece of furniture for your house. They are a fun way to try out a table design that is maybe too extreme for your dining table, is a cheaper option if you don’t need a high-end dining table or can be a statement piece all on their own. Think about what requirements you want for yours; do you want to put your feet up? Do you want to be able to store books? Do you want it big enough to play games on it? All of these can be considerations when you decide to get a coffee table.
WALL ART
The best part about wood is its unique grain, color, defects, and the limitless variations of design. This is why wood is naturally a perfect choice for wall art. Whether the wood itself is the art, or the texture, or an arrangement, it all can be a crown jewel of your room. This type of piece has so many variations, feel free to ask questions or come in with photos or ideas or materials and request some artistic input.
