Non-standard furniture, where it is used and the better the standard

The use of custom-made home furnishings has its advantages. The main one is that non-standard furniture emphasizes the individuality of the owner. Indeed, many do not want to go on a visit to see familiar products: headsets, dressing tables, chest of drawers.

Distinctive features

The main advantage of typical furniture models that are manufactured at large enterprises is their price. Mass production of the same type of components from pressed chipboard or MDF boards, using standard fittings, reduces the cost of finished furniture products. Such furniture has a long service life, is easy to maintain, and has an interesting appearance.

But, having made repairs, I want to buy something brighter, with an unusual pattern on the surface of the furniture. It is useless to go to shops and furniture salons, since there you will find only familiar, standard interior items.

Custom furniture has several advantages:

Decor - it is made using bright finishes and takes into account the individual characteristics of the premises. An important advantage of its use is the ability to fit into any type of interior. Harmonious placement of furniture in the atmosphere of your home helps to improve performance and mood. Even a very careful selection of typical pieces of furniture and their meticulous placement in the house will not be able to provide the same result;
Sizes - a distinctive feature of non-standard designer furniture is its atypical sizes. The main parameters used in the manufacture of kitchens, wardrobes, furniture sets are height, depth and width. For example, the main dimensions of the depth of cabinets and shelves are in the range from 400 to 416 mm, 430, 500, 560, 600 mm. It is these indicators that are used when sawing the material from which the furniture is made. Difficulties arise when on the wall the place for the wall cabinets differs in size from the standard ones. There are many examples where just a few millimeters are not enough to accommodate a furniture set or wardrobe;
Materials - non-standard furniture is distinguished by the material from which it is made. It is worth noting that, along with the usual MDF and particleboard, craftsmen can use metal, stone and fabrics. Natural wood is also in demand. Various materials can be combined, thereby increasing the convenience and functionality of room furniture. More widely, environmentally friendly materials can be used, including paintwork;
Quality - when performing an individual order, each detail, each joint is manually adjusted. Therefore, the quality of the finished product is high, as small tolerances are excluded, which lead to distortions and crevices;
Accessories - the manufacture of non-standard furniture involves the use of high-quality fittings. The use of hinges and handles of high quality make the furniture more reliable during operation. And they look like a glove.

Design technology

Work on creating individual types of furniture begins with design. In this matter, it is important to consider the features of the interior of the room and its size.

Custom furniture can be in size, in design and construction. It is at the design stage that conditions are created in order for the product to ultimately be beautiful and durable.

The first step is to create a competent drawing or sketch of future furniture. It is performed manually or using special computer programs. The paper is applied to the detailed dimensions and basic parameters of each individual element.

Several important points to consider when applying dimensions:

The thickness of the edges - for non-standard parts, the ends of the parts can be finished with a material that will make the edge wider by 2-5 mm;
The thickness of the material - already at the design stage, you should clearly determine what the furniture will be made of. From a familiar sheet of MDF or particleboard, natural wood or exotic materials like metal and stone;
Shelf depth - the dimensions of the shelves should be 20-30 mm less than the depth of the cabinet itself. Thus, fitting of the door of the product is simplified.

On a paper sketch indicates the placement of parts inside the product. When creating drawings of individual furniture, the layout of the room is taken into account, the product should fit perfectly.
