Custom made furniture plays a crucial role in high-end interior design projects, offering a range of benefits that mass-produced pieces simply cannot match. From unique designs to superior quality, custom furniture pieces offer an elevated level of sophistication and elegance that is unrivaled.
At Helen Green Design we have the honour to work with the very best artisans, joiners and suppliers in the industry.
One of the most significant benefits of custom furniture is the ability to create a one-of-a-kind design that is tailored to a specific space. Rather than trying to fit a pre-made piece into an existing layout, custom furniture allows designers to create pieces that perfectly complement the room's size, shape, and style. This allows for a seamless integration of furniture into the overall design scheme, resulting in a cohesive and polished look.
Another advantage of custom furniture is the ability to use high-quality materials that may not be available with mass-produced pieces. Designers can work with skilled craftsmen to select premium materials, such as rare woods, unique finishes, and luxurious fabrics, that will elevate the overall design of the space. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the furniture but also ensures that it is durable and built to last.
In addition, custom furniture allows for greater attention to detail, resulting in pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Designers can work closely with craftsmen to ensure that each piece is precisely tailored to meet the specific needs of the client, whether it be maximizing storage space, providing comfortable seating, or incorporating unique features such as built-in lighting.
The value of custom furniture extends beyond aesthetics and functionality, as it can also add significant value to a home or commercial space. In many cases, custom pieces are considered investment pieces that hold their value over time, making them a wise investment for those looking to enhance the overall value of their property.
When it comes to high-end interior design projects, custom furniture is an essential element that cannot be overlooked. From unique designs to superior quality, custom furniture offers a range of benefits that mass-produced pieces simply cannot match. By working with skilled craftsmen to create custom pieces, designers can ensure that each element of the space is thoughtfully designed and executed, resulting in a space that is both functional and visually stunning.

A new resource book celebrating design and best practice has been published by the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) for anyone involved in specifying or designing with architectural ironmongery and hardware.
The book, available as a free download at www.gai.org.uk/specifier, showcases award-winning architectural ironmongery projects and products from this year’s GAI/RIBA AI Specification Awards. As an SBID Accredited CPD learning opportunity, it also provides a source of information and reference for specifiers and designers, with articles, best practice advice, and latest updates on competence, standards, and legislation.
Among the feature articles, RIBA past President Alan Jones discusses meeting the challenges of fire performance, life safety, acoustic separation, security and user requirements in today’s ‘more for less’ construction culture.
The guide discusses the value of working with a Registered Architectural Ironmonger (RegAI) to achieve world-class project delivery, compliance, and outcomes. And there is information to help specifiers find fully qualified architectural ironmongery professionals, including a full RegAI and GAI member directory.
GAI Technical Manager Douglas Masterson said: “The GAI Specifier’s Resource Book is not just a celebration of design excellence and best practice, but a guide to some of the key issues impacting on today’s AI and wider construction sectors.
“The aim has been to produce and distribute a resource which helps architects, architectural technicians and technologists, interior designers, M&E consultants and others involved in the design and specification processes to better understand some of these issues, and underlines the importance and value of engaging with high-quality AI professionals and companies from the very earliest stages of their projects.”
The new GAI Specifier’s Resource Book 2022 is available as a free download at the link below, and also available is a series of free GAI technical specifier guides focusing on the legislation, standards and best practice involved in key areas of AI specification, from fire safety, fire and escape doors to accessibility, security and access control.
