Custom Spaces: When Furniture Becomes Family
In the bustling realm of home decor, where trends come and go faster than you can say "avocado green is back," there's a quiet revolution happening. Here at eastside CO/LAB, we're skipping the fast fashion of furniture for something a lot more personal and a whole lot more permanent: custom furniture. It’s like the difference between a fleeting crush and a lifelong love affair—with your living room.
Sustainability Can Be Sexy
Why settle for off-the-shelf when you can go custom and eco-friendly? We’re all about pieces that stick around for the long haul, growing and changing as you do. Think of it as the furniture equivalent of a faithful friend who’s always there, even if you move houses more often than the latest trends on Pinterest.
Side Table Saga: Tiny Heroes of the Urban Jungle
Picture this: a city row house so snug that the bedroom offered a mere foot of space on either side of the king sized bed —hardly enough for conventional nightstands. Enter our hero, the custom side table—sleek, storage-savvy, and dressed in a calming beige grasscloth. Crafted in cahoots with the magicians at Compo Home on Etsy, these tables weren't just furniture; they were space-saving lifesavers in a stylish disguise.
The Green Sofa Chronicles: Where Comfort Meets Class
Imagine a Victorian home, its charm long stripped away, yearning for a dash of dignity. That’s where our custom green sofa comes in. Working closely with Kravet, we crafted a sofa that balanced classic elegance with the durability needed for a bustling family life. From the simple silhouette to the bench cushion designed for longevity, every element was chosen with care, ensuring the sofa added both comfort and class to their living space.
Blue Chair Blues: A Monochromatic Marvel
When faced with a room awash in blue, the challenge was to introduce a piece that could stand out without breaking the monochromatic theme. Inspired by the genius of Michelle Gold and dressed in a client's personal fabric choice, this chair wasn’t just another piece of furniture. It was a statement, a splash of texture in an ocean of blue, proving that monochrome doesn’t mean monotonous.
Pillow Talk: The Soft Side of Statement Making
No discussion of custom decor is complete without mentioning the transformative power of pillows. For one project, we worked with Thread to craft pillows that would bring a pop of color and drama to a muted room. Using fabric from Designers Guild, available at Osborne & Little at the Design Center, we chose a floral pattern with raised velvet on a silk background. These pillows, with their 50/50 insert of down and cotton, were not just comfortable; they were a statement, embodying classic design with a tactile luxury that remains unparalleled. Soft, supportive, and still stunning five years on, these pillows are the long-term relationship we’ve all been looking for.
