In today's home design, customised wooden furniture is not only a way to improve the quality of your home, but also an important way to express your personality and taste. With more and more people seeking a unique home environment, personalised wooden furniture has become a fashionable trend. Through personalised design, you can incorporate your own style into your home to create a space that is exclusively yours, allowing each piece of furniture to tell your story.
1. Determine your personal style

Before you start designing, it is vital to understand your design preferences and functional needs. Think about the following questions:
What kind of colours do you like? (cool, warm, natural tones)
Which shapes and materials appeal to you? (straight lines, curves, metal, wood)
Are you more interested in the aesthetics or the functionality of your furniture?
With these questions, you can get a clearer picture of your aesthetic preferences. At the same time, you can test yourself with the Home Style Test Tool to get a clearer style guide.

Scandinavian style: natural tones (light wood, white, grey) for the emphasis on simplicity and natural style.
