Do you provide custom furniture design?

That’s a great question 👍 — because custom furniture design is what gives a home its unique personality, instead of looking like a “catalog copy.” A professional interior designer should absolutely be able to design bespoke furniture tailored to your lifestyle, space, and style.


✅ What Custom Furniture Design Includes

1. Living Room

  • Sofas: Custom size to fit wall lengths (L-shape, sectional, sofa-cum-bed).
  • TV Unit / Console: Designed to integrate storage + décor + wires concealed.
  • Coffee & Side Tables: Unique shapes, nested sets, or with hidden storage.

2. Dining Room

  • Dining Table: Extendable, foldable, or stone/wood tops to match flooring.
  • Sideboard / Crockery Unit: Built-in or free-standing with designer finishes.

3. Bedrooms

  • Beds: Storage beds, hydraulic lift, or floating designs.
  • Headboards: Upholstered, paneled, with hidden lights/shelves.
  • Wardrobes: Fully customized interiors (pull-outs, drawers, tie racks, jewelry trays).
  • Study / Dressing Table: Sized exactly for available niches.

4. Work & Study Areas

  • Work-from-home desks with integrated storage.
  • Bookshelves / library walls.

5. Special Units

  • Pooja Units (traditional carved, modern backlit, or concealed).
  • Bar Units (wall-mounted, hidden in panels, or open display).
  • Entryway Consoles with hidden shoe racks.

✅ Benefits of Custom Furniture

  • Fits your space perfectly (important in Delhi builder floors with odd niches).
  • Reflects your style (modern, traditional, minimalist, luxury).
  • Optimizes storage (every inch is planned).
  • Higher durability if using branded materials (Greenply, Merino, Häfele/Hettich).
  • Unique aesthetic — not a copy-paste showroom look.

💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

  1. Do you design custom furniture drawings (2D/3D) before execution?
  2. Do you have workshops/tie-ups for making bespoke furniture?
  3. Can I choose fabrics/finishes (velvet, leatherette, laminates, veneer)?
  4. Do you provide costing with material brand details?
  5. Will you give warranty & after-sales service on custom pieces?

⚠️ Red Flags

  • Designer only suggests ready-made furniture from catalogs. 🚩
  • No 3D visuals → you don’t know how custom furniture will look.
  • Uses local carpenters without drawings → risky for finish & fit.

✅ Pro Tip

  • For sofas, beds, wardrobes → go custom for perfect fit + style.
  • For accent chairs, loose décor → ready-made (IKEA, Pepperfry, Banjara Market) is fine.
  • Always demand design drawings + brand specs before building custom furniture.

👉 Do you want me to prepare a Custom Furniture Ideas Lookbook (room-wise examples: sofa, bed, dining, TV unit, pooja, storage) so you can pick inspirations and ask your designer to tailor them for your home?
