Creating custom-built furniture can be a brilliant way to add character and your own unique sense of style to your home. Read on for our guide on choosing and designing the perfect unique furniture for your home.
Defining your style and preferences
Before you can begin choosing and designing your furniture, it helps to have a particular style or influence in mind and to set out what your personal preferences are when it comes to interior design. Have a look around the internet and design magazines at different interior design styles and see which ones catch your eye. Whether you like minimalistic, shaker, modern industrial or traditional styles or prefer something else, the wide range of design options out there means you’re sure to find something that suits your tastes. Once you’ve found a style or influence that you like, get more specific with your research: print out photos of implementations that you like and use these to create notes and comparisons, highlighting elements that you think work well. This will help you start creating ideas for your own unique home décor.
What are the characteristics of your home?
Another important consideration when choosing the style of your furniture and interior design are the inherent characteristics of your home. The period when your home was constructed, as well as the original purpose of the building and any subsequent changes that have been made to the building, will inform the way you furnish the interior. It may seem a clear choice to furnish an older home with more traditional furniture and a more modern building with a matching newer style, however this may not always be the case. Contrasting an older building with ultra-modern interior design, for example, can create a bold and exciting look in many homes. Mixing and matching different styles can work excellently to create a beautiful and unique home when done thoughtfully. Once again, try researching the internet for examples of how this can work, compiling the ideas you think might work for you and using them as inspiration when choosing your furniture. Consider the placement of your furniture in your home, and take measurements of the spaces where you want to place the furniture so that you can make sure your furniture will fit perfectly.
