Investing in high-end furniture means making an investment in your lifestyle, comfort, and self-expression. Because of this, many buyers find that a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for their needs. At Hickory Furniture Mart, we understand that customization is a vital part of finding and creating the perfect furniture piece for your home. Because of that, we created our Design Center to provide our customers with a seamless and enjoyable customization experience. By utilizing this service, you will ensure that your furniture is truly one-of-a-kind.
Tailored to Perfection
While purchasing “off-the-floor” furniture may be convenient, it may not always align with your specific requirements in terms of size, shape, or style. Custom furniture eliminates these limitations, allowing you to tailor each element and infuse the furniture with the personal touch that makes your house a home. From choosing the right upholstery fabric to selecting the perfect wood finish, every decision is yours to make. Our skilled team works diligently to transform your ideas and vision into reality.
Enduring Quality
At Hickory Furniture Mart, we pride ourselves on the quality of our furniture and that extends to our Design Center. When you choose custom fine furniture, you choose furniture that is built to last for generations to come. By choosing the material and finish, you gain control over the durability, functionality, and longevity of your furniture. This way, you are able to guarantee that your pieces remain as timeless and beautiful as the day you designed them.
Experience Customization
We want designing your custom furniture to be an exciting and rewarding experience. Through our Design Center, you will work with knowledgeable design consultants who will guide you through the process and help translate your vision into a tangible furniture piece. We have worked to create a truly seamless and enjoyable customization process.
The Design Center Process
Ready to get started? Let’s take a closer look at the step-by-step process that will ensure your furniture reflects your unique personality and style:
Select Your Design
You’ll begin the process by selecting the general item and design you are searching for. This may be a sofa, loveseat, chair, or even a sectional – our Design Center offers a wide range of options to suit your taste. Browse through different styles, shapes, and sizes to find the perfect foundation for your custom creation.
Choose the Body Fabric
Once you’ve selected a starting base, you get to dive into the world of custom fabrics. We offer an extensive collection of premium body fabrics in a variety of rich textiles. Explore our curated selection by sight and touch in one of our showrooms – our design consultants will be nearby to offer any guidance you might need.
Select Pillow Fabrics
Adding custom pillows to your furniture piece will not only complete the overall look of your custom creation, but also add an extra layer of comfort and style. At this step, you have the opportunity to select a pillow fabric that complements or contrasts the body fabric of your piece, adding depth and visual interest. Let that creativity flow as you sift through textures, patterns, and colors.
Choose Your Welt and Finish
We believe that every detail matters, which is why this step is one of the most important – this is where you can truly make your furniture piece unique. The welt, or piping, is the decorative trim that outlines the edges of the furniture. This simple design aspect really enhances the overall look of the piece and adds a refined touch. Moving on to the finish, wood or metal elements will wrap up your customization with a seamless final touch.
Voila! You have officially created a piece of furniture that is uniquely your own, tailored perfectly to your individual taste. If you wish to better visualize your new design in your space, our Design Center also offers a Room Planner tool. This allows you to virtually place the item in the room, letting you envision how it will fit with your existing decor.
We have taken great care to provide our customers with a comprehensive customization process so they can create furniture that is a true reflection of their style. Treat yourself to the satisfaction of owning custom high-end furniture by visiting one of our showrooms today!
