Design Options for Custom Buffets

24 October 2018 by Bonnie Cruz

Custom buffets can be designed to your specifications. This includes size, material and finish. Finishes can include the use of colour, glass, veneer and patterns. Features of buffets that can be customised include tops, legs and handles. There are a large number of options available to consider when looking for a custom buffet design that suits you.

Size

Buffets can be custom made to specific measurements. This includes height and length, as well as how many drawers and doors are included. For example, buffets can feature a varying number of doors and no drawers or the same number of doors and drawers.

Material

Buffets are generally made from wood. There are many types of wood that may be used. This includes Tasmanian oak, various timbers, pine, ashwood, blackwood and hardwood. The type of wood that you choose will depend on the aesthetic that you would like.

Finish

Custom buffets can be finished with different colours and effects. There are many options for this, including just one uniform colour, a colour for the doors and drawers and another for the top or different colours for each door. Doors can also feature glass. Additionally, buffets can be unfinished to show the natural wood.

You can also choose to apply a veneer or incorporate a decorative pattern that is etched or printed onto the material. Etched patterns can also be finished in different colours.

Replication

Custom buffets can be made to replicate an existing piece of furniture. You may wish to use this if you are downsizing and the buffet you currently have is too large, or if your buffet is damaged and cannot be repaired.

Legs

Another feature that can be customised is the legs. Legs are available in a number of colours, shapes and materials. The legs used will depend on the weight of the buffet and the desired aesthetic. Leg material options include copper, wood, brass and chrome.

Tops

The top of the buffet can be custom made with different materials. It can either be made using the same wood as the rest of the buffet, a different wood, or other materials entirely such as limestone or granite.

Handles

The handles for your buffet can also be customised. Handles can be made from different materials and are available in a range of shapes and sizes. Materials that can be used include wood, aluminium, brass, copper, steel and marble.
