As the year comes to an end, many homeowners find themselves entering a season of moving out and renovating. When it comes to choosing furniture, a growing number of 80s-born homeowners—those who value individuality—opt for custom-made pieces that reflect their unique style, adding a personal touch to their new living space.
Custom furniture offers a great way to maximize space and cater to the modern lifestyle that young people seek. In recent years, it has gained significant popularity. However, if you don’t consider how the space is used or your family’s habits, you might end up with something that doesn’t work well for you. So, how do you choose and maintain custom furniture? In this home guide, we’ve put together some practical tips on purchasing and maintaining custom furniture, aiming to help you create a personalized and comfortable living environment.
**Style Should Match the Living Room Space**
Custom furniture should be tailored to the size of your living room and the needs of your household. If your house is small but you have a larger family, focus on space-saving designs. For instance, wardrobes and cabinets should be simple in shape and compact in size. Before buying or customizing a wardrobe, take time to understand the types of clothes you own and plan the internal layout accordingly. Prioritizing efficient use of space helps create a home that feels both personal and cozy.
Many consumers overlook the actual conditions of their homes when selecting furniture. They often go for what looks good in the showroom, only to find it doesn't fit at all once they bring it home. Others may follow magazine trends too closely, resulting in furniture that looks out of place. This happens because people aren’t always professional, and overconfidence can lead to poor choices. When choosing custom furniture, make sure the design is balanced in terms of materials, function, and aesthetics. Don’t just chase individuality without thinking it through—rational planning is key.
**Consistency with Home Decor Style**
The style of your custom furniture should be decided before the home renovation and should match the overall interior design. Often, the furniture style and the decoration style don’t align, leading to mismatched results. For example, traditional Chinese-style decor won’t go well with Western-style custom furniture. Similarly, a modern living room would look odd with a traditional Chinese sofa. Therefore, your custom furniture must complement the overall theme of your home.
**Avoid Unnecessary Waste**
How can you save money while still expressing your personality? The key is to avoid unnecessary expenses. Custom furniture doesn’t need to be overly complex; a well-designed piece, even in small numbers, can add character and style to your home. If your budget is tight, avoid making too many custom pieces or adding excessive details just for the sake of being different.
**Tips for Maintaining Custom Furniture**
First, cleaning methods vary depending on the material of your custom furniture. For example, dust on the surface of a wardrobe can be removed with a soft cloth or a duster. If there are stains, use wax to clean them. Hardware parts should be wiped with a dry, soft cloth—avoid using chemical cleaners or acidic liquids. If black spots appear, gently wipe them with a little kerosene. Dust in tracks can be cleaned with a vacuum or a small brush, and metal parts like frames and rods should be wiped with a dry cloth.
Second, be careful not to scratch or damage the surface of your wardrobe. If there are minor scratches, mix some ash with lemon juice, rub it onto the area, and then apply wax after it dries.
Regularly check the connections of your furniture. If any parts become loose, tighten them immediately and apply a small amount of lubricant. (Yang Lan)
