5 Things to Think About Before Getting Custom Furniture

Ever walk into a furniture store and feel like nothing speaks to you? The sofa's too bulky, the table's too tiny, the colors just aren't you. It's like trying to fit into someone else's idea of "perfect." That's where custom furniture changes the game — you get to create pieces that fit your space, reflect your style, and match the rhythm of your life beautifully.

But before you order that dream sofa or dining table, consider a few things. Such as budget, style, space, and a lot more!

Let's chat about the five biggest things you should consider when choosing custom furniture — so you don't just like it, you love it.

5 Things to Think About Before Getting Custom Furniture

Below are the best points that you must consider before getting custom furniture.

1. What's Your Style?

To buy custom furniture, you don't have to be an interior designer, but you do have to know what you like.

Start simple:

• Do you love clean, modern spaces?

• Or cozy, layered rooms with lots of textures?

• Something bold and a little dramatic.
  

It's okay if you don't have every detail figured out. Even a few photos or a mood board can help.  At MIGLIO 5792, we love helping people turn a few ideas into a full-blown furniture plan. No stress, no fancy design talk — just real conversations about what feels right for you. 

Pro Tip: Snap a few photos of rooms you love, colors that make you happy, or even a hotel room you stayed in once that felt perfect. It all helps!

2. Pick Materials That Work for You

When it comes to custom furniture, materials are everything. They decide how your furniture looks, how it feels, and how it holds up over time. 

• Got kids or pets? Consider steering toward durable, easy-clean fabrics.

• Love a rich, warm vibe? Woods like walnut or mahogany are your best friends

• Prefer light and airy? Think oak or natural fabrics like linen.

At MIGLIO 5792, we're super picky (in a good way!) about our materials: only the best hardwoods, the softest leathers, and sustainable, planet-friendly options are cut. We'll help you pick gorgeous stuff that makes sense for your daily life, not just for the photo shoot.

3. Pay Attention to Craftsmanship (It's a Big Deal)

You can feel the difference between a piece made by a machine and a pair of skilled hands. It's not just sturdier — it's got soul.

Craftsmanship shows up in all the little details:

• How smooth the joints are.

• How balanced the piece feels.

• How the materials age beautifully over time.

At MIGLIO 5792, our artisans live and breathe this stuff. They've spent years — sometimes decades — learning how to make furniture that doesn't just look good but feels good every time you use it.

Little Secret: You'll know you have a real artisan piece when you notice tiny, beautiful imperfections — the kind that prove someone's hands, not machines, made it.

4. Think About Real Life

When picking custom furniture, it's easy to fall for how it looks in a showroom or on Instagram. But real life isn't always that picture-perfect. It's pets jumping on the sofa, kids spilling drinks, and guests lounging around.

Ask yourself:

• How much use will this furniture get?

• Will it hold up to roughhousing, spills, or lazy Sunday naps?

• Do I want it to be a “forever” piece or something I'll swap out in a few years?

Custom furniture should fit your life, not just look good. The right pieces should make your home more comfortable and functional, without worrying about every little mark or spill. Think about comfort, ease of care, and the real needs of your daily routine.

At MIGLIO 5792, we're obsessed with making beautiful and livable furniture.

Your home should be a place to relax, not a museum where you tiptoe around.We'll design around your real life, not a fantasy version.

5. Be Realistic About Time and Budget

Custom furniture isn't like buying something off the shelf. It's an investment in both time and money. 

Here's the truth:

• Expect around 12–18 weeks from the first design meeting to delivery. Quality takes time.

• Really good custom pieces cost more upfront, but they last longer and bring more joy.
  

Fortunately, at MIGLIO 5792:

• We keep it honest and transparent.

• No last-minute surprises, no hidden costs, no stress.

• We walk you through everything from Day One so you always feel in control.

Bonus: Think of it like this — would you rather buy something three times in five years... or once and love it forever?
