Architect Onal Kothari describes the factors that can help you select between custom-made or ready-made furniture.
- Time: This is a very important factor because it takes a while to design and create custom-made furniture, whereas ready-made furniture is easily available and comes ready to deliver. All you have to do is schedule it as per your requirement and time frame.
- Price: You can revise your custom-made furniture several times with the carpenter within your budget. Remember, a large furniture manufacturer always has a lot of hidden cost added to their pricing structure.
- Size matters: Take measurements before any order or purchase; it does not make sense for your tall brother to adjust with regular size furniture.
- Picture perfect: Furniture with aesthetic value is a visual treat. It also adds to your physical comfort. This is the only reason you might have searched and saved the best images in your smartphones.
- Eco-friendly: Custom-made furniture gives you freedom to take control of the use of materials, whereas for the ready-made option, you have to investigate about the things that were put together to get the end result.
- Portability: For oddly-proportioned space, custom-made furniture can work for you as it provides flexibility to make necessary changes.
- Payment plans: With custom-made furniture, you can cut costs and go firm with investments in every step of the building process.
