From Frame to Fabric: Creating Custom Furniture that Feels Like You

Custom furniture

There is something we love about helping a customer create a piece of custom furniture that feels completely their own.

Maybe you’ve found the perfect sofa shape, but you want it in a soft blue performance fabric instead of the standard neutral. Maybe you need a pair of chairs for your living room and want to bring in a pattern that gives the room a little personality. Or maybe you’ve been looking for an upholstered bed or headboard and nothing you’ve found feels quite right.

That’s where custom furniture comes in—and it’s one of our favorite things to help customers with at our Johnson City, TN furniture and design showroom.

see, sit in and experience

One of the biggest benefits of shopping for custom furniture in our Johnson City, TN showroom is being able to actually experience the furniture before making a decision.

Sit on the sofa. Try the chair. Feel the fabric. Compare cushion options. Look at the construction, size and proportions in person.

Furniture is an investment, and we believe you should know what you’re getting before you order it.

At Texture Home, our showroom gives you the opportunity to experience pieces from some of our favorite furniture makers, including Taylor King, Wesley Hall and Rowe Furniture. These companies manufacture their furniture in North Carolina and Virginia, and we love working with brands that offer quality construction along with incredible customization options.

Our goal isn’t simply to help you find a beautiful piece of furniture. We want to help you find something that fits your home, your family and the way you actually live.

The Fabric Is Where It Gets Fun

We get a little excited when someone comes into the showroom ready to choose fabric!

Instead of being limited to a handful of standard colors, custom upholstery opens up so many possibilities. We can pull from our extensive fabric library and help you find the right color, texture, pattern and performance level for your home.

That could mean a durable performance fabric for a busy family room, a beautiful stripe or plaid on a pair of club chairs, a block print on an accent chair, or a rich solid fabric that lets the shape of the furniture take center stage.

And we don’t look at the fabric by itself.

How will it work with your rug? Your window treatments? The other furniture in the room? Does the space need another pattern, or does it need something quieter? Is there an opportunity to bring in a color that ties everything together?

Those are the details we love working through with you.

It’s About More Than Choosing a Fabric

Selecting the upholstery fabric is just one part of ordering custom furniture.

We also help our customers choose the right style, size, scale and comfort level for their space.

A beautiful sofa can still be the wrong sofa if it overwhelms the room—or if it’s too small for the wall it sits against. The same goes for chairs, ottomans and beds.

How deep should your sofa be? Do you prefer a firmer or softer seat? Would two chairs work better than one oversized chair? What arm style fits the look of your home? How large should the ottoman be in relation to the sofa?

These are the decisions that can feel overwhelming when you’re shopping on your own.

Sometimes the difference between furniture that simply fills a room and furniture that makes the room work beautifully comes down to getting these details right.

Sofas, Chairs, Ottomans—and Even Custom Beds

Custom furniture doesn’t stop at sofas and chairs.

We can help you create upholstered ottomans, benches and beds, including one-of-a-kind upholstered headboards. Choose the shape, fabric and details, and we can help create something that feels much more personal than choosing a standard piece off a showroom floor.

We especially love using upholstered beds as an opportunity to introduce color, texture or pattern into a bedroom. A beautiful fabric on a headboard can completely change the feel of the space and give the room that final layer that makes it feel finished.

You Don’t Have to Be a Design Client

This is something we want more people to know:

You do not have to hire Texture Home for a full interior design project to shop our showroom or order custom furniture with us.

Come in and sit on our sofas. Browse our fabric library. Bring us a photo of your room and some measurements. Tell us what you’re looking for.

Whether you need one great chair, a new custom sofa for your family room, a pair of ottomans or an upholstered bed, we can help you narrow down the choices and create something that works beautifully in your home.

That’s what we want our showroom to be—a place where you can experience beautiful, quality furniture in person while having a designer help you make the decisions that can sometimes feel overwhelming on your own.

Our Johnson City showroom serves customers throughout the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas, including Kingsport, Bristol, Jonesborough, Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk.
