Furniture selection is one of the most exciting parts of the design process. When making furniture selections, one of the most important aspects is to make the decision on whether or not to go with custom upholstery. Here are 5 reasons you should go with custom!

Longevity and Quality
When you go custom, you are purchasing pieces that will live in your home for years to come.
You will find quality that retailers simply cannot provide at their price points.
Handcrafted pieces - Teams of artisans that love creating and take pride in their work
Quality materials- Hard wood frames. They also will use processes like eight-way hand tying vs. sinuous wire where the style allows that make the frame sturdier to last a lifetime.
Consistency
Bench made is a process that ensures consistent quality throughout the entire piece. When we refer to bench made, we mean that the same individual will complete each process of the manufacturing of your pieces.
For example, a single woodworker will build out the entire frame. An inside upholsterer will apply fabric and padding before the piece moves onto an outside upholsterer to adhere the fabric to the outside of the frame.
When you have more than one of the same piece being made like a set of dining chairs, the same team will complete each process. Upholsterers all have unique techniques and skills. One upholsterer may pull fabric tighter than another.
By utilizing a bench made process, we can ensure that each piece has a uniform look.
Functionality
You may need a piece that can stand up in a family with kids, pets and the occasional spilled wine or a shabby chic linen for a more formal space that can occasionally be dry cleaned. Custom upholstery covers all of the bases.
Comfort is key to creating a piece you will love! If you prefer a firmer sit, you may opt for a spring unit wrapped in foam and fiber that requires less maintenance. If you want a soft and more relaxed look, you may choose to go with a foam core wrapped and down in feathers which will require daily fluffing and flipping/rotating of the cushions.
