Everyone, at some time or another, will get thoroughly fed up with the same old furniture that they have been living with for many years. Sometimes it does the home, and the owners, good to have a great redesign and breathe some new life into the place. Custom cabinets can bring that touch of change to brighten up the place. A custom cabinet will be able to be fitted anywhere, particularly into those odd little niches where it may be difficult to find suitable pieces.
Sometimes the homeowner will want to refurbish the whole house, or maybe that room that is no longer needed. Whichever it is, the artisan, or carpenter, can turn that small idea into a great piece of furniture that will be perfect for the space intended. Indeed, pieces that are designed by the owner often become family heirlooms that are passed down to the following generations.
Victorian style houses, or period houses, have somewhat unusual design problems. For example, clean and straight angular lines will not suit the older and more ornate Victorian house. This era had heavy fancy furniture which tended to be very large and awkward. For the modern furniture lover, this would not be acceptable at all. For those with more up to date houses, the same would apply. Heavy furniture would look and be too large for the space.
Probably the best place to give some great new ideas would be the local shops and magazines. Local shops will give some idea of where the fashion trends are heading. It also gives some indication of prices, although having furniture purpose built will be pricier that buying ready made furniture. Magazines will show what is on the cutting edge of the fashion front showing colors and styles which will take some time to filter through to the shop floor.
If the project is to be a large one, start gathering up cuttings and articles describing the style and color of the overall look that is being thought out. Match soft furnishings with existing furniture to add a little zing to the design. Finally, show this to the designers so that they have some idea of what the look is to be emulated in the home. They may also be able to advise on what types of wood should be used etc which could add some extra style to the finished design.
One interesting fact is that if a piece of furniture is made from two different colors and species of wood, it may be possible to 'twin' this with another piece to be used opposite it. That is, if there is to be inlays in the wood, say perhaps a light wood inlayed into a darker grain, then the pieces left behind will make an exact mirror image that can be built to replicate the first piece. If someone else is interested in this kind of piece then the neither customer will be charged for the wasted wood.Remember though that once the work is started, it is virtually impossible to change the design, so make sure that it is the perfect design before putting in the order.
