Have you ever wished you could find the perfect dining table that fits your space and matches your vision, only to be left disappointed by limited choices in big box stores? Finding the right piece for your kitchen or dining room can often feel like a never-ending search for compromise. But what if you could design a custom piece that perfectly matches your style, space, and needs—without settling for something “close enough”? At Wana Furniture, we specialize in bringing your vision to life with customizable Amish furniture for the kitchen and dining room. Let’s dive into how you can achieve your dream space through customization.
Why Customization Matters: Turning Frustration into Inspiration
For many homeowners, the kitchen and dining room are the heart of the home—places where family and friends gather to create cherished memories. But trying to fit a mass-produced table or set of chairs into your unique space can be frustrating. Perhaps the table isn’t the right size, or the wood tone clashes with your cabinetry. This is where customization comes in, turning these frustrations into opportunities to create a piece that works for you in every way. Amish craftsmanship is renowned for its quality and versatility, allowing you to personalize everything from the type of wood to the finish, ensuring a perfect match for your home.
Step 1: Choosing the Right Wood Type for Your Space
The first step in customizing your kitchen or dining room furniture is selecting the right wood type. Amish furniture at Wana Furniture is available in various hardwoods—like oak, cherry, maple, and walnut—each offering a distinct look and feel. Think about the mood you want to create. Do you prefer the classic warmth of oak or the sleek elegance of walnut? Consider how the wood tone will complement your existing cabinetry, flooring, and overall decor. The beauty of customization is that you can select a wood type that makes your furniture blend seamlessly or stand out as a statement piece.
Example: One of our customers wanted a dining table that would harmonize with their bright farmhouse-style kitchen. They chose maple with a light stain to maintain an airy, inviting atmosphere—a perfect example of using wood selection to enhance a room’s personality.
Step 2: Finding the Perfect Finish to Complement Your Style
Once you’ve chosen your wood type, it’s time to decide on the finish. The finish can significantly affect the overall look of your furniture, from rustic and distressed to polished and modern. Whether you want a glossy finish to reflect light or a matte one for a more understated appearance, Wana Furniture offers numerous stain and finish options to achieve the exact aesthetic you desire.
To make this decision, think about how much wear and tear your table will endure. Do you have young children who might use the table for everything from homework to craft projects? A durable, easy-to-clean finish will keep your table looking beautiful despite daily use. Our team is happy to guide you through samples and help you choose a finish that balances beauty with practicality.
Step 3: Customize the Dimensions for a Perfect Fit
Another benefit of custom-made Amish furniture is the ability to specify the exact dimensions you need. Forget about squeezing an oversized table into a small dining area or settling for a table that feels too cramped. At Wana Furniture, we work with you to get the proportions just right—whether you need a long dining table for extended family gatherings or a compact table to maximize space in a cozy kitchen nook.
Example: One client had an unusual dining area with an L-shaped bench, making it difficult to find a table that fit comfortably. By working with our artisans, they were able to design a table with custom dimensions that worked perfectly within the space, creating a functional and attractive dining area that brought the whole family together.
Step 4: Add Personalized Details for a Unique Touch
The final step in creating your custom kitchen or dining room piece is adding those small details that make it truly yours. You can choose from various leg styles, edge profiles, and even add extensions to accommodate guests. It’s these little touches that make your furniture unique and truly tailored to your family’s needs and style preferences.
Example: A couple came to Wana Furniture wanting a dining table that would not only serve as a functional space but also as a conversation piece. They chose a live edge table with a trestle base, blending modern style with rustic charm. The result was a stunning table that became the focal point of their dining room.
