You’re someone who knows what they want and that’s fabulous! You will probably want to design every detail of your piece, like finishes, feet, hardware, nail trim, and fabrics to name just a few. If you haven’t thought about details like that then give them some thought and look for more inspiration images from magazines or pinterest. Then give us a call and let us know you are ready to design your own piece. It could be a sofa, chair, bench, or sectional, or it could even be things like a table! You will be asked to share those images with your interior designer prior to meeting if possible. This gives us time to pull the absolute best custom programs for you to choose from. Once your designer has pulled their ideas together, you will both sit down for a more formal meeting and start designing your custom piece! Your designer will make it so easy and can bring ideas to the table that may have not even thought of. All you will have to do is get creative.

This is tough, but thankfully you can create just the right piece that will fit perfectly in your space by going custom. The very first thing you need to do is take pictures and get the measurements of your space. You can call James Décor and one of our interior designers can come out and do this for you or you can do it yourself pretty easily. This is a super important part of creating a custom piece that fits perfectly and functions well in the space. A designer can help you reimagine the space and can get a feel for the style your looking for with just a quick phone call or even through email. To make the real magic happen you will need to sit down with your designer and the different custom programs they’ve pulled for you to begin the design process. So, if you’re looking for a sectional that fits in your narrow den for example, you not only can make that happen, but you can pick the sectional’s depth, the type of back, the shape of the seating, how many seats, the style of arms and the base, plus the fabric. Maybe you want a contrasting ottoman? You can design that too!

Sounds like you’ll know the perfect piece for your space when you see it, and you just have’nt seen it! We get it! Creating something custom that you love is going to be way better than settling for something you don’t love that just kind of works. In this situation it would be best for a designer to come out and see your space. This will help them get a better idea of the room and what brands will offer something that will be well suited for you. Your designer will pay careful attention to the lines, finishes, and fabrics already in the space and can pull fabric samples from our memo library when you meet to discuss your custom furniture options. It’s important to stay open minded during this process because your designer may bring some ideas to the table that you hadn’t considered before! By working closely with an expert you will be able create something that’s not only personal to you but is also a perfect fit in your space.
