If you live in Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee, you know that many of the homes in the area could be considered “cookie cutter homes.” Every few houses on a street can look fairly similar and start to blend together. Unless you live in one of the few neighborhoods with custom homes, such as Meadowview, La Cresta, or Wine Country, it can be difficult to make your home stand out.
Even if you wanted to make major changes to your home’s exterior to set it apart in your neighborhood, strict HOA rules can often prevent you from doing so. As a result, many homeowners in Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee choose to highly customize their homes’ interiors to suit their personal tastes.
Hiring an interior designer can be a great way to bring some customization to the inside of your home. Interior designers are specialists at not only choosing furnishings and fixtures that complement each other but arranging them in ways that maximize the space you have and create a nice flow from room to room.
When we get contacted by interior designers for custom furniture pieces for homes in Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee, it’s often to produce a “stand-out” piece. A stand-out piece could be a large, custom dining room table, or it could be a smaller piece, like a unique coffee table or entry table. Other times, interior designers contact us to design a piece to fit a specific place in a home, such as a niche or an oddly sized or shaped area of a home. The furniture that is found in retail furniture stores is most often designed to fit in “typically” sized homes, so if you have a space that is larger or smaller than the average home, it can be difficult to find furniture to fit and look like it belongs in the space. Having a piece of custom furniture built can solve this problem.
Since it is cost-prohibitive for most people to have a house full of all custom furniture, an interior designer will often strategically choose which types of pieces will have the greatest impact in a home. When we work with interior designers, we make sure the furniture pieces they are commissioning us to make for their clients are truly special. However, that can mean different things to different people. Some people want their custom furniture to include intricate details, or some creative elements included. Others want their piece to have a story. (For this, we often used reclaimed wood with a known history.) Still others want their pieces to be made from unique or exotic species of wood.
No matter the style or size of your custom furniture piece, you can be sure that a piece that is designed a built by Smith Farms will be well made. It will be sturdy and durable—made to last a lifetime. Contact us at Smith Farms to learn more about our custom furniture or to talk to us about building a custom piece that will complete your home’s interior design. If you are an interior designer, we are happy to work with you to design a piece that will fit perfectly within your design plan.
