Buying modern furniture: Ready-made vs. customized?

Designing the interiors of a home needs careful planning. Initially, you decide on a theme or style, then match it with appropriate color and visualize the types of furniture and decors you need to fit the overall look. Sometimes it can be tough to look for the right furniture design especially when there are few furniture shops and home depots within your area. We have experienced this while shopping for furniture for the condo units we handled few years ago.

When we did our furniture purchasing for the condo units, it took a lot of effort and time to do window-shopping and canvassing of different designs and prices. The result was a mix of customized and ready-made furniture to complete the look. We decided to have a customized wooden cabinet that doubled as a divider and shoe closet, since it would be impossible to find such type in the furniture shops. The dining sets and living room sets were purchased from different Our Home branches, and I would say it was quite tough looking for the right furniture set to fit our preferences.

Thankfully, one can shop via the Internet for furniture at 24/7 Shop at Home, an online merchant offering a wide range of furniture for all the areas in your home: living room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, etc. For instance, the modern styled black bookcase in the photo above is just one of their featured products.

They also have furniture for organizing and storage, and those for kids, as well as futon chairs in varied styles and different colors on sale.

Thus, when choosing between customized vs. ready-made, there are two major factors to consider: price and availability. Just remember to enjoy the experience while doing your search and have fun with window-shopping. We did!  🙂
