It Is Cheaper to Custom Design and Build Your Furniture Rather Than Buying Wholesale or Retail?

It is cheaper to custom design and build your furniture rather than buying wholesale or retail.

At Interiors by Wanda Michelle, quality control is paramount, and no more so in the placing, design, build, and placing of your new furniture. ‘Buying out’ is a term for interior designers who inherently go shopping for you procuring furniture from wholesalers and retailers.

But if your individuality is important as is the furniture piece’s ‘fit for purpose’ then bespoke furniture will always deliver a more coordinated, streamlined, and professional interior design finish than buying from third-party furniture suppliers. Furthermore, should the bespoke furniture specification fall outside of your budget parameters, we have the flexibility to choose different fabrics and finishes to come in on budget.

With bespoke furniture, each item is made to fit the allocated space-planning dimensions, never falling short or hanging over and interrupting the flow. Each piece has hand-picked fabrics and finishes to enhance its stature in the room, coordinating with wall treatments, flooring, and curtains creating a seamless design.  

Each client has individual tastes and needs for their furniture, to tailor for a taller, heavier man, the framework and comfort levels of the upholstery need to be individualised to ensure the furniture piece offers comfort, fit, and longevity and to this end, we prefer to create bespoke furniture for our projects.

We look to work with clientele for whom individuality is a priority as is practicality; so, hand-picking every fabric will ensure that your furniture will reflect your personality and the colour palette of the rooms. By way of example, if the client entertains, we will select specific fabrics for the dining room chairs allowing for ease of stain removal in case there is red wine spillage. We believe these furniture qualities and benefits far outweigh the instant gratification of buying out.

Bespoke furniture saves you money

Our craftspeople are professional and experienced manufacturers who produce luxurious classic, contemporary and modern design furniture to guarantee inspirational interior design results. We use responsibly procured materials for our hand-made pieces and work hard at producing timeless furniture that will sit as well in a decade or two to protect your investment. Clean lines and neutral palettes combined with international and local fabrics combine to produce our signature designs that are timeless. We also produce and manufacture custom cabinetry

Custom designed furniture offers maximum comfort and fits perfectly

Comfort levels are set according to our clients’ preferences, steel coiled springs and various primary stuffing materials allow us to adjust between soft and firm. Fabrics are hand picked and machine sewed into position. As part of our colour palette coordination, we often match fabrics with a particular piece of art in the room or vice versa, curating art to match the chosen fabrics which ultimately brings the design platform together.

Upon delivery, we are not trying to shoehorn sofas and chairs into position, each piece has been individually made so they slot together like a jigsaw puzzle. Manufacturers’ guarantees give you peace of mind and as part of that guarantee if there are any issues the furniture piece is collected, rectified, and reinstalled.
