It’s the perfect opportunity to dive into the world of customization and create pieces that are uniquely yours with the help of our fabulous team.
A Journey of Personalization
When you walk into our shop the options are endless, whether browsing for décor to layer in and complete your space, searching for the perfect piece of wall art, or looking for a piece of furniture to transform or update a room. When it comes to furniture, we collaborate with you to find or design something you will love. Whether you have a clear vision or need some guidance, we’re here to help. You can browse the floor, pick up in-stock options, or explore additional frames and fabrics featured in our design studio. Our designers can show you as many (or as few) options as you might need to make the best choices for you and your space.
Where to Start
Your customization adventure starts with a vision. Think about where your new piece will go. Is it for a formal living area, a cozy bedroom, or the main living room where you relax after a long day? Is this a piece just for you, or will it be loved by all the members of the family? These factors will influence your choice of frame and fabric.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
The sheer number of options can be overwhelming when it comes to creating the perfect piece. Frame style, cushion choice, fabric choice, leg finish, specialty stitching and nail heads – the list goes on! Whether you want to hand pick each element or have someone guide you through a refined number of options, our designers can offer you support and guidance in any way you need it. The result will be the same – a fabulous custom piece built just for you and your space!
Exploring the Possibilities: Customization Options
At Nell Hill’s, the possibilities are truly endless. Here’s a peek into the many things you select when designing a custom piece of upholstered furniture.
- Frame: Choose from a variety of frames that suit your style and space. Love the shape of a frame but not able to find it in the correct width? Many fame widths can be customized down to the inch! Not only are frames often offered in various finishes, but paint colors as well!
- Cushion Type: Select the back and seat cushion type that offers the comfort and maintenance levels you desire, from down-wrapped springs to memory foam, to extra firm foam core.
- Arm Options: Pick the arm style that complements your design aesthetic. Some arm options are married to the frame while other frames offer a number of arm options from which you can choose.
- Fabrics and Leathers: Browse through our extensive fabric library or let us source the perfect fabrics and leathers for you.
- Leg Options and Finishes: Some pieces have multiple leg options, and most exposed legs offer finish options, from a colorful painted finish to something formal and refined.
- Skirt Options: Decide if you want a skirted look or a more streamlined appearance. Not all skirts are the same – from tailored box pleats to the ruffle, there are a number of ways to dress up your piece’s skirt.
- Trim and Finishes: Add the finishing touches with trims and finishes that make your piece stand out. Tape trims, trimmed skirts, contrast welts – each element add to the overall piece!
