Why You Should Consider The Handcrafted Furniture Las Vegas Artisans Are Offering

By Dorothy Lewis


A lot of homeowners turn to chain stores when they start a redecorating project. This is especially true of those who feel like they lack taste and vision. A lot of these stores will actually sell furniture by the room, allowing the customer to avoid making any decisions at all. Mass produced furniture is readily accessible but lacks the originality and authenticity of handcrafted furniture Las Vegas artisans have to offer.

Buying mass produced furnishings has a lot of disadvantages. The size and configuration you see in the store is your only option. You either have to make it fit when you get it home or buy piece by piece until you have filled the space. If you had discussed your needs with an artisan who makes custom tables, chairs, and sofas, you could have given him the room dimensions and let him come up with a plan to furnish it exactly to your specifications.

Most people don't have unlimited budgets when it comes to furnishing their homes. When you see something in a store, like a bookcase for example that would be perfect for your room, you can't purchase it unless it's within your budget. With custom made furniture, the craftsman can build a bookcase that is what you want and what you can afford.

One of the big drawbacks of chain store merchandise is that it is often manufactured in countries where the labor laws are lax. You could end up buying pieces that were made by women and children working in squalid conditions and paid less than a living wage. You don't have this problem with custom furnishings. With handmade work you can control whether or not toxic chemicals are used.

Unless you are willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money, the furnishings you get in chain stores will not be of the highest quality. If you have limited funds, you might have to settle for what is referred to as engineered wood and shoddy workmanship. Craftsmen take pride in their work. It is almost always created with care and love. Pieces are also created one at a time.

If you want furnishings in specific colors, textures, and wood finishes, you probably won't find all your requirements at a chain store. Working with a craftsman will give you control over the finished product. You can even pick out the accessories, like knobs and handles.

There are a lot of advantages to choosing custom made work over mass production. One of the most satisfying is the knowledge that you are supporting local talent. There are many homeowners who prefer to buy locally than purchase from a faceless conglomerate with no community ties. Once your guests have see the quality and beauty of the furnishings you purchased from a local artist, they are likely to contact the craftsman for themselves.

Furnishings created by local artisans are unique and well made. Each one will have a story you can tell your children and grandchildren. These pieces, crafted without slave labor or toxins, will last forever.
