Tips for ordering custom-made furniture from the manufacturer
Customizing the bulk furniture you need from a furniture factory.
This offers the opportunity to have something truly unique and perfectly suited to your needs and tastes.
Whether it's for a decorative project such as a hotel, club, café, restaurant, or a living room or bedroom.
Bespoke furniture is a great way to give your space a whole new look.
However, ordering bespoke furniture can be a challenge, especially if you have never done it before.
As a furniture manufacturer with over a decade of manufacturing experience, bespoke is at the heart of our service.
To ensure that you can work with the furniture manufacturer smoothly and order custom-made furniture successfully.
We have compiled a list of the top 9 tips b to help you be able to get the most out of your investment.
1. Identify your needs
Before you start buying bespoke furniture,
it takes a little time to determine your needs in order for the subsequent process to go smoothly.
Consideration should be given to the space where the furniture will be placed,
what it will be used for, how much of it will be needed and the decorative style and personal preferences of the space.
This will help you to narrow down your choices and make an informed decision.
2. Know your space
Before you order your custom made furniture, consider the dimensions of the space and where it will be placed.
Measure the space carefully and make sure you follow the floor plan or designer drawings of the building
so that you know the exact dimensions of the space when customising the dimensions for the furniture so that it can be placed comfortably.
For example, consider the height of the windows so that when placing a customized sofa under a window, the height does not cover the view.
One needs to know where the piece will be placed in the design plan and make sure it fits the proportions.
You should also consider the placement and style of the rest of the furniture,
which will help to maintain the overall aesthetic of the furniture.
What is easy to overlook is that the placement of the furniture also needs to be considered,
as this will affect the life of the furniture and its future maintenance and care.
For example, furniture should be kept away from prolonged sunlight, as high heat accelerates the fading of surfaces.
We have already written an article on furniture care.
In addition, if the space you have is not too large, you can consider buying pre-assembled modular furniture.
A good example of this is our LUCAS leather sofa.
With its modular design, LUCAS features units that fit together easily,
are convenient to transport and the possibilities are endless.
Ideal for living rooms and hotels, reception rooms, clubs and other projects.
That's why it's important to know your space.
After you have ordered your bespoke furniture,
make sure you double check your specifications and the confirmation of your order from the factory.
All of our customers consider Iconic Society Furniture
to be a partner in making beautiful custom furniture that is always custom made to the right size as required.
3.Research the supplier you choose
When choosing your bespoke furniture supplier, take some time to research your options.
Do some research on made-to-order furniture companies
and look for furniture manufacturers who have a reputation for quality and craftsmanship.
A reliable supplier is always beneficial for your business.
If there is no way of knowing the quality of that piece before the furniture arrives, you can record a video or take decent photographs.
For example, for custom-made furniture,
our factory will record pictures and videos of the entire process from production to delivery,
so that customers can clearly know the quality of the furniture they will receive.
4. Appearance and style
Determining the appearance and style of your bespoke furniture is the central step.
The appearance of the piece is also an important factor in the overall cost.
The first step should be to have an overview of the style of design you want.
For example, if you want a set of dining chairs,
there is a wide range of options from vintage rustic to mid-century, industrial to contemporary styles.
Of course, if you're not sure where to start, consider working with a designer.
A designer can help you determine your needs, choose materials and create a design that fits the desired style.
Many designers like to make changes and add finishes from our original designs.
So if you would like to add nailhead trim or replace legs to your original design,
or add diamond tufting, you can send your specific requirements and design drawings to the bespoke furniture company.
There are many customisable options in our material library. 
5. Selecting the right materials
When choosing materials for your custom size furniture,
the quality of the materials used by the custom furniture factory is vital.
You should choose durable and high quality materials such as hardwood, top grain leather, or high quality fabrics.
These materials will ensure that your furniture lasts for years to come.
When choosing materials, also consider the environment in which the bespoke furniture is used,
different materials have different characteristics and advantages and disadvantages.
For example, in restaurant projects, because of the high volume of people,
the choice of leather dining chairs is often more suitable than fabric.
Because leather upholstery is easier to maintain and more durable than fabric.
It provides a degree of protection against liquid spills.
In the event of a stain spill, the leather surface can be cleaned promptly with a damp cloth,
making it ideal for places such as restaurants where food can easily fall on the furniture.
It is also wise to consider how your fabric choice will work on the frame.
Metal frames bring an industrial style, take our BLU DINING leather dining chairs as an example.
Industrial Leather Dining Chair-BLU DINING
Made from hand-crafted top-grain leather with a metal frame.
The chair supports are made from round iron tubes and coated with 300°C baking paint.
Carefully shaped for durability and corrosion resistance, all part of its beautiful and elegant design.
The wooden frame will give the bespoke furniture a warm feel.
Our PORTOLA leather and wood chair, for example,
has a beautifully textured brown top grain leather with a solid wood frame,
and the wood is hand stained with GLAZE wood lacquer for environmental friendliness and durability.
Leather And Wood Chair-PORTOLA
If possible, consider an environmentally friendly company
that uses materials that are environmentally responsible and sustainable.
In this way you can also purchase with confidence.
6. Consider how the piece will be delivered
Communicate with your chosen furniture factory about the shipping method to ensure that your bespoke furniture is delivered to you intact via logistics.
It would be a great shame to go to the trouble of customising a piece of furniture only to find it damaged when you finally receive it.
So consider whether the shipping packaging provided by your supplier is secure enough
and whether the tracking of the shipping service is meticulous enough.
Of course, you don't have to worry about this when purchasing furniture from Iconic Society Furniture.
7.Consider return policy and customer service
Choose a furniture company with a good guarantee in case you have problems with your bespoke furniture.
If you have a problem with your order, a good company should also be willing to help you get the problem in place.
8. Communicate clearly with your furniture manufacturer
When it comes to ordering bespoke furniture, clear communication is key.
Make sure you communicate clearly with your furniture maker about your needs and expectations.
This will help ensure that the finished bespoke furniture meets your expectations.
9.Be patient
Customised furniture often takes more time.
This is because high quality bespoke furniture takes more time to polish and create.
Be patient and don't rush the process.
The end result will be worth the wait.
