Furniture as Unique as You Are
Every home tells a story, yours. It’s a reflection of who you are, how you live, and what you value. That’s why your furniture shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. It should be crafted with care, shaped around your lifestyle, and made to last.
At Chocolate Wood, we believe that furniture is more than just functional; it’s personal. Our Australian custom-made furniture combines timeless craftsmanship with modern design, creating pieces that fit perfectly into your home and your way of living.
From elegant dining tables and entertainment units to handcrafted coffee tables and sideboards, each piece we create is designed to be uniquely yours because your home deserves furniture made with intention, not just production.
Why Choose Custom-Made Furniture?
In a world full of mass-produced pieces, custom furniture is a breath of fresh air. It’s a return to authenticity where quality, craftsmanship, and individuality matter.
Here’s why more Australians are turning to custom-made furniture for their homes:
1. Perfect Fit for Your Space
Every home has different layouts, lighting, and proportions. With custom furniture, you don’t need to settle for something almost right. You get exactly what you need, the right size, height, and configuration to complement your space beautifully.
A custom-built dining table that fits your family.
A TV unit that fills your wall perfectly.
A console that aligns with your hallway.
No gaps, no guesswork, just precision and harmony.
2. Designed Around Your Lifestyle
Do you love entertaining? Need clever storage? Prefer a minimalist look? Custom furniture gives you the freedom to choose details that make sense for how you live.
At Chocolate Wood, we tailor every design to suit your needs, whether it’s extra drawers, open shelving, or unique finishes. It’s practical beauty, created just for you.
3. Superior Quality That Lasts
When furniture is made to order, it’s made with care. Our skilled craftspeople take the time to ensure every joint, edge, and finish meets the highest standards.
We use solid Australian hardwoods and sustainably sourced timber, ensuring strength, durability, and natural beauty. You’re not buying furniture that will need replacing in a few years; you’re investing in pieces that will last for generations.
4. Sustainable by Nature
Mass production can mean waste and shortcuts. But custom furniture means mindful creation. We use only the materials we need, sourced responsibly and crafted locally.
Choosing Chocolate Wood means supporting Australian artisans, sustainable timber suppliers, and a cleaner, more conscious way of living.
5. Your Style, Your Way
Whether your style is contemporary, coastal, industrial, or classic, we’ll bring your vision to life. From timber tones to design details, everything is tailored to you.
Your furniture should look like it belongs in your home because it was made for it.
Our Process: From Vision to Reality
Ordering custom furniture can feel like a big step, but at Chocolate Wood, we make it easy and enjoyable. Our process is collaborative, creative, and completely tailored to you.
Here’s how it works:
1. Consultation
It starts with a conversation. You share your ideas, measurements, and inspiration. Whether you know exactly what you want or just have a vague idea, we’ll help you refine your vision.
We’ll discuss materials, sizes, finishes, and functional needs to ensure we create something that fits seamlessly into your space.
2. Design
Once we understand your needs, our designers create detailed plans for your piece. We’ll confirm dimensions, proportions, and any specific details you’d like, from handle styles to leg shapes and storage options.
You’re involved every step of the way. After all, this is your furniture.
3. Craftsmanship
Once the design is finalised, our expert craftspeople bring it to life. Using premium hardwoods, traditional joinery, and modern precision tools, we build your piece from the ground up, ensuring strength, stability, and stunning craftsmanship.
Each stage is checked carefully for quality before moving to finishing.
4. Finishing Touches
The final stage is all about detailing the tone of the stain, the feel of the surface, and the perfect alignment of each panel. We use eco-friendly finishes that highlight the natural grain of the timber while offering long-lasting protection.
The result? A piece that’s as beautiful as it is durable.
5. Delivery & Installation
Once complete, your custom furniture is carefully delivered and placed exactly where you want it. All you have to do is sit back, admire the craftsmanship, and start enjoying it.
Types of Custom Furniture We Create
Our workshop produces a wide range of bespoke timber furniture, each piece designed to blend seamlessly into your home and lifestyle.
Dining Tables
Your dining table is the centre of your home where meals are shared, memories are made, and conversations flow.
We craft dining tables in a range of shapes, sizes, and timbers, from minimalist rectangular slabs to round, rustic statement pieces.
Customise the legs, finish, and dimensions to make it truly yours.
Coffee Tables
The perfect coffee table ties a room together. Whether you prefer compact or statement-sized, modern or traditional, we’ll design one that complements your décor and fits your living area effortlessly.
Add drawers or shelves for practical storage, or keep it sleek and simple.
Entertainment Units
Our custom TV and entertainment units are as functional as they are beautiful. With integrated cable management, adjustable shelving, and clean lines, they make organisation stylish.
We’ll help you create the perfect centrepiece for your living room.
Sideboards & Buffets
A sideboard is more than storage; it’s a design feature. Ours combine timber craftsmanship with practical compartments for dining, living, or hallway spaces.
Choose from sliding doors, drawers, or open shelves or mix them for a balanced, elegant look.
Desks & Office Furniture
Workspaces deserve furniture that motivates and inspires. Our custom timber desks and shelving units offer function and comfort, built around your workflow and aesthetic preferences.
From compact home office solutions to large executive desks, we’ll design something that works as hard as you do.
Bedroom Furniture
Create a calming sanctuary with handcrafted bed frames, bedside tables, and dressers. Each piece is designed for comfort, harmony, and timeless style tailored to your taste.
A custom bedroom set ensures that every detail aligns, creating a cohesive and peaceful space.
Materials That Matter
At Chocolate Wood, we believe great design starts with great materials. That’s why we use sustainably sourced hardwoods and premium finishes.
Some of our popular timbers include:
-
Tasmanian Oak: Light, versatile, and perfect for modern homes.
-
Blackwood: Rich and warm with distinctive grain patterns.
-
Spotted Gum: Strong and naturally textured, ideal for bold designs.
-
American Oak: Smooth and pale for a refined, minimalist look.
Each timber brings its own story, personality, and charm, and we’ll help you choose the one that best suits your space and aesthetic.
The Benefits of Choosing Local
When you choose Australian custom-made furniture, you’re doing more than furnishing your home; you’re supporting local craftsmanship, reducing waste, and investing in quality that mass production can’t match.
Here’s why buying local makes a difference:
-
Shorter supply chains mean fewer emissions and faster delivery.
-
Direct collaboration with local designers and builders ensures accuracy and communication.
-
Economic support for Australian artisans and small businesses.
-
Ethical practices because we know where every material comes from.
It’s furniture made with purpose, by people who care.
Styling Tips for Custom Timber Furniture
The beauty of custom-made timber furniture is its versatility. Here’s how to make it shine in your home:
-
Mix textures: Pair solid timber with soft linen, wool rugs, or matte ceramics for depth.
-
Keep it balanced: Let statement pieces breathe, avoid overcrowding your space.
-
Play with contrast: Dark timber against white walls, or pale oak beside earthy tones, creates a striking balance.
-
Add greenery: Indoor plants bring out the warmth and natural texture of timber.
-
Layer lighting: Accent your furniture with warm light to enhance its grain and shape.
When styled with intention, your custom furniture becomes the hero of the room.
Caring for Your Custom Timber Furniture
To keep your furniture looking and performing beautifully:
-
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
-
Use coasters and placemats to protect from heat and spills.
-
Keep out of direct sunlight where possible.
-
Occasionally re-oil or wax surfaces to maintain lustre.
With simple care, your furniture will age gracefully, developing a patina that makes it even more stunning over time.
