Celebrating Craftsmanship: Why Handcrafted Furniture Makes All the Difference

Let’s be honest – anyone can walk into a local furniture store and point at an item that looks pretty good. But if “pretty good” in an item or two is all you’re after, you don’t need a design team. You need a luxury interior design firm like IDH because you want a space that feels and looks extraordinary, complete, and curated. You want thoughtfully curated, artful, handcrafted pieces that tell a story – your story – and turn your home into something you simply can’t buy off the showroom floor or conceive of yourself.

Why Handcrafted Furniture Elevates Your Interior Design

Handcrafted furniture isn’t just furniture – it is craftsmanship made visible. It’s the quiet luxury of a custom finish, the subtle grace of complex joinery, the ideal proportions that make a piece feel like it was tailor-made for your space. It’s all about nuance here.

We love celebrating craftsmanship in interior design just as we love to celebrate you: your lifestyle, your aesthetic, what you find beautiful and compelling. That’s why our clients come to us – so we can bring them ideas, options, and one-of-a-kind designs that live beautifully and work impeccably to fulfill their dreams.

A Dining Room That Dazzles

Here’s an example: We recently designed a dining room for a client that was a bit outside the “norm.” Why? Well, we selected two round tables for the space – yes, two. This might sound like a bold – or even a risky design move – but it actually couldn’t have been more perfect for the family and room in question.

What you can’t see (but we can’t help bragging about) is that each table rotates in a specific direction and expands to seat even more guests. Along the turret window, a fully custom bench also breaks into pieces so the kids can take a seat.

This handcrafted furniture worked magic for this space. (And a round of applause for the stunning two-story window treatments that frame the entire scene, too).

Every single detail here? Bespoke. Designed for that family. For their home. For their life. Perfect for small dinner parties (1 table for the entrée, 1 for the

A Dressing Room That Dresses to Impress

Now, let’s talk dressing rooms. Handcrafted furniture certainly belongs in this conversation – and here it also takes the form of custom cabinetry. But why stop there? We added fabric insets to create a dimensional, oh-so-touchable texture you don’t see every day. It’s such an exciting detail that softens and changes the look entirely.

A sleek Lucite chair provides a lovely perch while carefully chosen light fixtures add the sparkle. The result? A dressing space that feels glamorous, personal, and deliciously one-of-a-kind.

A Beautiful Collaboration

Handcrafted furniture and bespoke, artisanal designs aren’t about excess – they’re about undeniable beauty and impeccable quality. They have depth and meaning – and a level of detail that can’t be mass-produced.

At IDH, we love to celebrate incredible innovation and craftsmanship – and the brilliant artisans who bring our designs to life. These are the masters who make “custom” mean something, and we’re grateful for their partnership and collaboration to bring our visions to life.
