Buy buying a piece that you had a say in, whether that�s in materiality or dimension, that was conceived with an absolute purpose in mind, OR that you simply fell in love with because �you�d been looking everywhere� for...
Let�s be honest, you don�t just buy a piece of furniture because you need it, you buy it because of the relationship between the artisan and the piece of furniture being created.
We know this because mass-produced furniture doesn�t nearly come close to that experience.
You have no real say in its form, it may not quite function quite as you�d like, and the materials were not of your choice - but you buy it as it will serve your needs in the immediate future and that�s ok.
Buy buying a piece that you had a say in, whether that�s in materiality or dimension, that was conceived with an absolute purpose in mind, OR that you simply fell in love with because �you�d been looking everywhere� for something just like it is a special feeling indeed.
You may not be able to do it for every piece of furniture either, and perhaps you shouldn�t. This is serious business.
The feature dining table that will withstand even the toughest of meals can be passed on to the following generation [ and the circular economy thanks you ].
The bench seat that has had many a bum on it as a shoe changing station, or clothes horse, will also find a new home again and again, along with the credenza that retains its timeless appeal, the timber shelving that never ceases to multi-function, or the humble wine rack that will never lose its purpose.
Choosing a piece wisely is an investment and one to be proud of because homes have heart. They have warmth. So, if you can curate even a small part of your home with a piece with real pulse, brought to life with one of Perth�s Furniture Makers handpicked by Spreading Roomers, well that would make my entire year!!
