Personalizing your style: When to choose custom furniture
Are you debating between bringing home a ready-made sofa or armchair, or designing a custom piece for your home? While choosing a ready-made style may save you time, custom furniture can provide some additional benefits that are worth considering. Here are some top reasons why you might want to go custom when it comes to selecting your next furniture piece.
Reflect your personal taste & style
Our collections offer dozens of styles, colours, and fabric, but what if none of them quite fit the specific vision you have for your space?
“Custom should always be considered, especially when you’re wanting a specific style, configuration, and upholstery colour,” says Tasha, Furniture Buyer. “Investing in furniture is a big decision, so it's nice when you can custom order what you really want.” By designing a custom piece of furniture, you can create a truly unique sofa, armchair or ottoman that reflects your style and taste.
Tailored measurements
Furniture made to fit your space is the perfect solution for a room that doesn't have standard dimensions. Custom furniture can be made to fit any shape or size and allows you to get creative with your furnishings by making them fit into spaces where standard-sized pieces won't.
Material & upholstery options
Custom upholstery allows you to choose from a wide range of materials and fabrics that may not be available on ready-made styles. With Urban Barn's custom furniture program, you can choose from a variety of top-grain leathers or browse hundreds of our best-selling custom fabrics.
“One of the most creative custom pieces we’ve seen recently was the Brewer Leather Sectional in Attica Denim,” adds Tasha. “Custom furniture really shines in a space when you’re looking to create a statement with colour.”
Canadian-made craftsmanship
From the quality of the materials to the skilled craftsmanship involved, opting for a Canadian-made piece of furniture ensures the money you’re spending goes directly to the quality of your custom-made piece. Plus, because it involves less transportation, buying Canadian-made custom helps contribute to a sustainably stylish home!
One-of-a-kind statement pieces
When you choose to have furniture custom-made, you have the opportunity to create something that is uniquely your own. From the fabric, colour, and texture, you get to be a part of the creative process to create a one-of-a-kind piece that you won’t find in anyone else's home.
