My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Customizing furniture

11 years ago
I am a big fan of making custom pieces in order to maximize space, insure quality, and select special colors and textures. Many clients fear they are paying a premium, but to the contrary, custom can add great value for many years to come.

    Hi Eve.

    Thank you for highlighting this. Custom furniture is an excellent way to find a design that suits a home perfectly. Speciality furniture companies often provide customization services for a reasonable additional fee that is well worth the investment in the long term.

    Best,

    Robin

    I agree...cost does not have to be high to get what you want in a custom piece
