Furniture help!

7 years ago

Will it be a good idea to buy ready made or get it custom made. Any ThumbRule cost method for calculation and wood quality check.

There seems be a lot variety and types which is honestly quite confusing ! And dealers quoting unregulated pricing. Any furniture purchase shop or site recommendations will be much appreciated!

Sir

Furniture planning should be such that U go 60pc for custom made through carpenter, and rest up for ready made.

Suppose u have a 3BHK, Living room TV cabinet, Dining room wall design, closet's, Master BR wall closet's, kids room can be custom made.

Guest room is open to you, rest of the minor things like entry area, few storage unit for book's, can be ready made.

Depending on location of the property, we can discuss this further.

thanks

Bhaskar,

IMHO, there is no right or wrong for any interior design projects. What suits one family may not suit another.

Readymade and custom built have their own pros and cons. You need to decide it based on your preferences/ availability.

I would agree that it is extremely confusing for a new person. But, it is more often so because we try to do to much work ourselves. While we rarely question other professions like the builder on the materials , design, finish e.t.c. when it comes to designing we want to be our own designers to fix everything.

Participating in the design process is good. Some people are born with the eye for details and others just think that they are good at it. It's the second bunch that takes most of the hit. For e.g. You would see some recent posts here where homeowners decided to call their own shots and ended up making extremely costly mistakes. Feels bad because they will end up living with it for a lifetime.

Long rant :).

Coming back, to get a uniform comparable quotes - Hire a design consultant, draft the designs and specify all the possible material, measurements hardware details . Prepeare a BOQ and share this with the vendors and then request a quote am sure you will get better comparable numbers.

Thanks,

If you can access your home, take some colour samples in shades you like with you and check the light and aspect of each room, that can change colours, some rooms may be a little dull and need bright or cheering colours others may be hot and need cooling colours. It is very important you consider this before you start. Then choose ideas and colours you like and that suit your room, and then go shopping to see what is on the market and available. It is no use getting your mind set on a colour for example and then finding you can't get a fabric in that shade. Flooring will most likely be common to all rooms so you have to ensure the flooring you choose will work with all your planned colour schemes in each room. Check out all your options and things will then start to come together for you. When shopping pick up as many swatches and samples as you can, even take photos of ideas if you are able, it will all help. Most important thing is to take it slowly. Don't try to have it all done at once. Aim to choose your floor coverings, then have all your rooms painted, and floor coverings laid before you move in. Furniture and furnishings can be added at any time afterwards.

The best way to make a small space look larger is to avoid the tendency to add in too much furniture, or make it too large-scale. You need pieces that offer you enough seating, but with smaller profiles in both your living and dining space. Look for multi-functional pieces with storage, keep the wall color the same in areas that flow together, and use the walls for vertical storage and display instead of relying only on freestanding pieces. Look for furniture retailers that advertise "apartment size furniture," and see Houzz Photos under "small space living" and "vertical storage? for ideas. You can use art, an area rug or similar to decide your color scheme. Your apartment really isn't that small, fortunately, by big-city standards.
