A Guide to Custom Ordering

Oftentimes, people don't consider ordering custom furniture because they feel that it will be too expensive, too difficult, or they just aren’t sure where to begin. We were fortunate enough to be able to speak with Ashley, a Boston Interiors design associate, in order to shed light on the custom ordering process.

Choose the perfect place
The first aspect to figure out is finding the perfect space to showcase your piece. According to Ashley, the living and dining room may be the best places for custom furniture, “These are gathering areas where you would have people over and you can show it off. It’s a completely unique piece so people might want it in a place where their guests and family can see it, and since living and dining rooms are entertaining spaces, those would be in the top two.” Wherever you host and spend the most time will be the best place to invest in furniture that most reflects your personal style. If you want to craft a space that makes you happy, make yourself and your style the focal point of your home.

Luckily, Ashley and the rest of the Boston Interiors design team is here to help you with every part of this process. They can provide 3D floor plans, product recommendations, and styling advice so that you can easily figure out exactly what you want and visualize how it will all come together.

Determine your needs
Once you’ve chosen your space, it’s important to take your lifestyle and values into account. Ashley explained that her first step when working with someone is to determine how they want the space to feel. “Usually warmer colors like beiges, reds, oranges and yellows, and microfibers or suede-like fabrics give a bit of a cozier feel, whereas cooler tones feel a little more crisp, sometimes more coastal, or updated.”



Enjoy the Process
Custom ordering offers a truly exciting opportunity to get creative, and learn more about your personal style. Being able to experience the manifestation of your creative vision is an extremely rewarding moment, and many quality custom pieces become keepsakes that are passed down and shared through generations.
