Custom furniture and window treatments can make all the difference when it comes to holiday hosting. There’s something magical about the holidays – gathering with loved ones, hosting special meals, and creating cozy moments at home. But if you’ve ever wished your home felt just a little more pulled together for the season, you’re not alone.
Every year, we hear from homeowners hoping to refresh their spaces before the holidays hit – sometimes with just a few weeks to spare. And while there’s always something we can do, the real magic happens with early planning.
If you’re thinking about custom furniture and window treatments, now is the time to get started.
Why So Early? Understanding Lead Times for Custom Pieces
Custom furniture and window treatments are pieces are made just for you. That means they aren’t sitting on a shelf, ready to ship. From selecting materials to final installation, each step takes time:
Custom furniture: sofas, sectionals, dining tables, and upholstered chairs often take 8–12 weeks to fabricate and deliver
Designer window treatments: Roman shades, drapery panels, and automated options are typically 6–8 weeks, plus installation
Design & ordering: sampling, approvals, and fine-tuning add several weeks before production even begins
By starting in early summer, you give yourself the luxury of choice – not just in what you order, but in how it fits into your home and timeline. You’ll avoid holiday rush delays, last-minute compromises, and added stress.
Whether you’re hosting a festive dinner or settling in for a quiet winter morning, custom furniture sets the tone for how a space is used and enjoyed.
Some of our most requested pieces for pre-holiday installs include:
Tailored sectionals to anchor the family room
Statement dining tables that fit your guest list (and your space)
Upholstered benches and built-ins to make room for more
Accent chairs and ottomans that add both style and function
With custom options, we can match the scale, layout, and finish to your home – resulting in furniture that looks beautiful, and works for how you live.
Often overlooked until the last minute, window treatments are one of the most transformative (and functional) design elements in a space. They:
Soften acoustics in dining rooms and gathering areas
Provide privacy in guest rooms or street-facing spaces
Control light for ambiance and comfort
Add texture, color, and height to rooms that need a finishing touch
We work with our clients to choose fabrics, hardware, and control options (manual or motorized) that elevate the experience of every room.
