Furniture traps
Award-winning designer Vinette Diab-Nicholls from GIAVA INTERIORS shares five pitfalls to avoid when buying bespoke furniture
These valuable pointers can mean the difference between investing in a timeless heirloom or a very expensive lesson:
1. Confusing “bespoke” with “customised” True bespoke furniture is designed from the ground up for you: proportions, materials, finishes and construction methods. Always ask whether the piece is being fully designed or merely adapted – the distinction matters.
2. Choosing aesthetics over construction
A piece can look exquisite in a showroom yet fail structurally over time. Luxury furniture must be beautiful and engineered to last. Ask about internal frameworks, joinery techniques and suspension systems.
3. Not interrogating material provenance High-end furniture is defined by the quality of its materials.
Imported veneers, leathers and fabrics vary enormously in grade, and not all suppliers are equal. Don’t be shy to ask where materials are sourced, and how they will age.
4. Underestimating lead times and logistics
Bespoke furniture takes time, but vague timelines are unacceptable. Ensure lead times are realistic and written into contracts. Also make sure you confirm who is responsible for delivery, installation and aftercare.
5. Choosing price over quality
If cost becomes the sole deciding factor, corners will inevitably be cut: in materials, craftsmanship or service. The right partner will guide you to find the right balance while protecting the integrity of the piece. Quality bespoke pieces transcend trend and time. They become a quiet, powerful signature of how you choose to live.
