In the maddening process of buying a home, one often forgets the apartment you get is not what the demo showed. It’s an empty piece of canvas, ready to furnish your way. And boy, can that get overwhelming. It’s easier said that the house should reflect your personality but can we all agree our personalities shifted quite a bit trying to get here!

So here comes the task of furnishing at hand, a whole new project, a whole new dream ready to be lived. Before you get on this store-hopping here’s a list of mistakes to stay clear of:

1. All Gaze, but no Use: “I once look at Pinterest and put the bed that peeks over my windows only to realize it leads to uneven fabric fading!”
   Make an active choice to be practical and understand our ways, if you’re a couch-potato that eats sauces, make sure the fabric colours are chosen wisely. Storage spaces are always a smart move, Bespoke furniture will make sure of that!
2. Everything Everywhere all at once:“I was so ready to be done with the move that I bought everything at one go and my so-called modern furniture only highlighted clutter, mismatches and blunders!
   A real modern approach is to live and (as romantic as it sounds) breathe into the space to understand the entry points of light and how you use the room. Make a list of things you need immediately and for the more exposed areas of the house, take some time. Finally, go with traditional techniques and modern styles to present a poised ensemble.
   Even Ke Huy Quan wouldn’t make this mistake 😉
3. Heights of Inconvenience:“I bought a piece-of-art wooden furniture online to only realize every time I picked my coffee for a sip, a mini ab crunch happens”
   Living room furniture is your key area that defines luxury. But amid it, their sizes should correspond to complimenting pieces. Reach your step count goal walking around in the room over & over again to make note of how much space you need for walkaways. Bespoke furniture help you create a transcending experience that exudes crafted goodness.
4. It can all fall apart with the wrong starting point: “My favourite piece of the bedroom was my reading chair that I carried from my single days to being married now. It almost shook up the marriage itself trying to balance it in the room with the bed”.
   Everyone repeat THE STARTING POINT IS ALWAYS THE BED.

Don’t get us wrong, we are not trying to promote laze. It’s literally dialling down to the basics of concept of bespoke. The bed is the focal point of the bedroom (literally in the name itself) and that’s where you start. Compounding error is also one of the classic mistakes of home furnishings. Even if you have your favourite wooden single bed and you feel there’s always enough room for it, let it be the focal point. All you need is the balance that marries a Classical material with contemporary detailing.
