Custom furniture and decor can seem like a luxurious indulgence, but the truth is, it’s a practical option that can offer functional and beautiful options to truly reflect your personality and lifestyle. At ADJ Interiors, we’ve encountered many myths about custom pieces and we’re here to set the record straight so you can feel comfortable integrating these items, when it makes sense, into your home.
1. It’s Too Expensive
Many people believe that custom furniture and decor are prohibitively expensive, but that’s not always the case. While custom pieces only sometimes come with a higher price tag because of the time, materials, and skill required to create them, they offer unparalleled quality and longevity, making them a wise investment. Our experienced designers can help source solutions that fit your budget without sacrificing style or functionality. Plus, custom pieces are more likely to be treasured conversation pieces, making it likely you will enjoy them for years to come instead of frequently purchasing updated decor.
2. It Takes Too Long
Another common myth is that custom pieces take forever to create. While it’s true that custom furniture requires slightly more time than off-the-shelf options, the timeline is often shorter than you might expect. Many custom projects can be completed in a matter of weeks, and you get exactly what you want. We collaborate with our custom vendors to keep you informed and involved every step of the way.
3. It’s Only for Large, Elaborate Pieces
Custom items aren’t limited to grandiose, elaborate pieces. Whether you’re looking for a unique coffee table, a perfectly sized bookshelf to fit a specific space, or even custom throw pillows, bespoke options are available for pieces of all shapes and sizes. In fact, people often choose to go the custom route to find that unique size or color they have been envisioning. Customization allows you to tailor every element of your home, no matter how small, to perfectly fit your space and aesthetic.
4. You Can’t Do Just a Few Custom Pieces
Some people think that once you start with custom pieces, you have to commit to outfitting your entire home that way. In reality, integrating just a few custom items can make a significant impact. A custom-made sofa or a unique dining table can serve as a focal point, elevating the overall design of your space. At ADJ Interiors, we help you identify which pieces will have the most impact, ensuring a cohesive look without overwhelming your budget.
5. Customer Service Will Be Better Through a Well-Known Retailer
Big-name retailers might offer some conveniences, but they often lack the personalized touch that comes with custom vendors. In our experience, customer service is superior when clients go the custom route. Our designers have direct access to these establishments, ensuring premium service for clients. When working with ADJ and custom vendors, you receive a level of care and attention that mass-market retailers simply can’t match.
Custom furniture and decor are more accessible and beneficial than many people realize. From affordability and timely delivery to the ability to choose exactly what you want, the advantages of custom pieces are clear. At ADJ Interiors, our designers have extensive experience helping clients create bespoke, personalized looks for their homes using a mix of custom and retail options. Let’s start crafting something truly unique for you.
