From economy to luxury: What furniture do you have?
Have you bought a new apartment or finally completed a full renovation of your family nest? Updating your living conditions always brings fresh and joyful impressions, and choosing interior items becomes the final stage of work and always represents a new stage in our lives.
Before you start choosing furniture, you should soberly assess your current capabilities and develop an action plan taking them into account. Today we will tell you how to save not only time and money, but also nerves. Choose wisely and with pleasure so as not to spill your joyful mood in the process of visiting an endless series of furniture salons. Clearly imagine what is more reasonable to buy and what is worth waiting for now.
Luxury, premium, and other furniture
In short, luxury furniture, unlike standard options, is a symbiosis of high-class functionality, artistic design, and limited or exclusive release. Thus, elite furniture becomes a priori a trendsetter for the entire furniture market: shape, lines and silhouette, color scheme, and proportions-all this will be duplicated in a more economical solution, using cheaper materials and with a tendency to reduce decor and simplify finishing. Even the dimensions, initially calculated for spacious rooms, will undergo changes towards reduction and standardization for any space...
In fact, you will never confuse it with mass production: unique and relevant look; manufacturer's craftsmanship with emphasized attention to detail and manual processing; branding (along with its prestige and status); and focus on a specific niche.
Natural wood is used in the creation of premium and luxury items: most often it is oak and walnut, mahogany, and teak. Precious metals are used as decorative inserts for accent work; natural stones (marble, onyx, agate, etc.); elegant and expensive textiles made of natural fibers (silk, linen with a high weave density, velvet); or full-grain leather. Unlike standard factory furniture production, such items only increase in price over time, since they retain an attractive and luxurious appearance for many years, as well as high functionality and relevance.
The interior must-haves of our apartments and houses are formed on the basis of specific groups.
Living rooms and hallways: armchairs/chairs and sofas, shelves and display cases and cabinets; TV stands and coffee tables; wall consoles, full-length mirrors, and cloth hangers;
Bedrooms: beds and wardrobes (or wardrobe storage systems); bedside tables, dressing tables, and chests of drawers;
Kitchen and dining sets: dining tables and chairs, sideboards and display cases for dishes, kitchen units and islands;
Outdoor and garden sets: chairs and tables; chaise lounges, poufs, and bars;
Office furniture: desks and armchairs/chairs; bookcases and file cabinets, etc.
Each of the manufactured products has its own characteristics suitable for a certain class, namely: economy, medium, premium, deluxe and luxury.
Economy class furniture
This class offers the consumer the following: minimum decor, when making furniture, the choice is always for inexpensive materials of simple textures (chipboard and laminated chipboard, MDF), uniform factory production (not custom order).
However, if the item is made with high quality, then you get a functional, comfortable, standard-looking thing.
It is ideal if the "economy class" manufacturer does not assume low quality or less reliability.
Nevertheless, manufacturers often use forced savings in production or follow the policy of "planned obsolescence" (in order to increase sales, a shorter service life is intentionally included in the product). Deliberately "average" quality becomes a sensitive point if this furniture needs to be transported somewhere: such products immediately get defects, their functionality decreases, and the owner bears additional costs for subsequent repairs or replacement.
Tips: a) Buy furniture of this class only from trusted manufacturers; b) even if not the most refined furniture, use the opportunity to increase its attractiveness and originality by replacing factory handles and legs with stylish models made of durable materials. Such an insignificant at-first-glance investment in your own comfort, even with limited funds, is quite reasonable, since high-quality fittings mean improved functionality of furniture, convenience and safety, and therefore a good mood of the owner and his or her family.
Middle-class furniture
It differs from the economy class in greater reliability and durability, as well as a more attractive and varied design. This furniture, available to most buyers, also belongs to the category of mass-produced goods. The main material of the furniture is durable chipboard; if metal, then steel.
Advice: In this segment, it is possible to buy an inexpensive and, at the same time quite non-standard thing, but you will have to make some effort to find it.
Premium furniture
This furniture is reliable, comfortable, and durable. Most importantly, it is handcrafted according to individual sketches, taking into account the customer's wishes regarding materials, decor, and color scheme. Designers offer discerning clients a wide variety of materials, including valuable wood species, high-quality textiles, metal inserts, etc. In addition to developing an individual design, premium wooden furniture undergoes painting in 3 stages, has high-quality fittings, and undergoes serious quality control before being delivered to the client.
Elite furniture (deluxe and luxury class)
Furniture items that meet the highest standards are single (exclusive) copies. They are created by craftsmen almost by hand and according to the wishes of a specific customer. Accordingly, this is the most expensive product on the furniture market. High-end products serve their owners for many years, do not go out of fashion, and do not lose their functionality and external attractiveness.
Advice: Since modern elite furniture items are made in various styles, their appearance in the home will require appropriate high-quality and not cheap finishing from natural materials (wood, ceramics, natural stone and metal, fabrics, etc.). The color and texture of the interior finishing should match the main elements of the furniture.
Our company specializes in the production of luxury furniture.
Wardrobes, shelves, and bookcases
At the customer's request, they are made from solid wood of valuable species, which are distinguished by the spectacular texture, resistance of the material to negative factors, and, of course, durability. The furniture is made according to designer projects, many models of which can be found in our catalogs. At the customer's request, solid wood is decorated with additional decor (carving, inserts from other materials, etc.).
Upholstered furniture
Sofas, poufs-ottomans, and elite armchairs are products with frames made of wood and/or metal. Such models often have elegant high legs and upholstery made of high-quality textiles of various colors and textures. Most often they are made in the styles of modern classics (neoclassicism) or minimalism.
Beds
Furniture for sleeping and private rest is the main item of any bedroom. Beds of this class are distinguished by an impressive design of the headboard. It often has upholstery made of expensive materials or wood carving and other decorative elements. The set, at the customer's request, may also include wardrobe systems and various cabinets, chests of drawers and dressing tables, bedside benches, and poufs.
Tables and chairs
When performed by the team of craftsmen of our brand, luxury tables and chairs are often real masterpieces of furniture art: products of elegant and modern design, combining innovation and age-old traditions, hand-made from specially selected wood or on a metal frame for your individual project.
