Australian Custom Made Furniture — Designed for Your Life | Chocolate Wood

Your home deserves furniture that fits the way you live. The room sizes, the light, the colours you love and the habits your family keeps each day. That is where Australian Custom Made Furniture shines. With Chocolate Wood, you can shape pieces that look refined on day one and feel even better as they settle into your space. Think dining tables that invite conversation, storage that actually tames the clutter and living room pieces that make the whole house feel calm.

This guide walks you through why custom makes such a difference, how to choose timber and shapes, and the simple steps to bring your ideas to life with Chocolate Wood. You will also find layout tips, care advice and a clear call to action so you can start with confidence.

Why choose Australian Custom Made Furniture

• Built for your rooms, Standard sizes rarely suit real homes. Custom dimensions let your table, sideboard or shelving fit neatly between walls, sit at the right height and leave comfortable walkways.
• A look that feels like you. Select timber tones, edge profiles and base styles that match your palette and the way you decorate. Your furniture reads as part of the architecture rather than an afterthought.
• Daily comfort in the details. Smooth touch points, balanced proportions and edges that are kind to hands matter more than you think. Custom lets you choose these details with care.
• Quality that lasts. Thoughtful joinery and hand-finished surfaces mean your pieces are made for real life. This is the kind of Australian custom-made furniture that rewards small, regular care and is built to be enjoyed for many years.
• One design language across the home. Repeat a timber tone and an edge detail through dining, living and bedroom. Your home will feel cohesive and relaxing without looking matched from a catalogue.

What can Chocolate Wood create for you?

Dining tables that anchor the home

From weeknight meals to long weekend lunches, the dining table does a lot of heavy lifting. Choose an oval for easy movement, a rectangle for strong lines or a round top for square rooms. Set the length so chairs slide in and walkways stay clear. Add a soft edge if you have little ones or prefer a relaxed look.

Storage that keeps life tidy

Sideboards, consoles and entertainment units hide the mess and bring long, calm lines to your walls. Ask for adjustable shelves, cable routes and ventilation where needed. Good storage makes daily life feel simpler.

Living room pieces that welcome you in

Coffee tables, side tables and shelving create a low, layered landscape that feels settled. Pick a base style and echo it through a few pieces so the room reads as one story.

Bedroom furniture for quiet mornings and restful nights

A solid timber bed sets the tone. Pair it with bedside tables and a low dresser that mirrors the same edge detail. The look is peaceful and practical. Your bedroom becomes a place to exhale.

Home office that actually works

Desks with the right depth, integrated cable paths and companion shelves help you stay focused. The warmth of timber keeps work zones inviting without feeling corporate.

Each category can be tailored as Australian Custom Made Furniture to suit your dimensions, style and routine.

Timber, edges and bases explained.

Choosing the right combination is simpler than it looks. Use this quick guide to shape your brief.

• Timber tones. Light timbers bring a breezy, coastal feel. Mid-tones are versatile and relaxed. Richer species add depth and an evening mood. Aim for two or three tones across the whole home to keep things calm.
• Edge profiles: Straight edges read crisp and modern. A bevel catches the light and adds a crafted detail. A soft radius is friendly and suits spaces where people gather often.
• Base styles Slim legs feel airy and help compact rooms breathe. Solid timber legs signal warmth and strength. Plinth bases ground long cabinets and create a sculptural presence. Repeat the base style across multiple pieces for a cohesive result.

Layout ideas that work in Australian homes

• Dining clarity: Set your table length at roughly two-thirds of the wall run and leave at least 90 centimetres to move around chairs. If the room is square, consider a round or square top to keep the balance.
• Living room flow: Keep 40 centimetres between the sofa and coffee table for easy movement. Let a TV unit extend 15 to 25 centimetres beyond the screen on each side so the wall feels settled.
• Entry calm. A slim custom console with one drawer keeps keys, mail and sunglasses tidy. Add a mirror above to bounce light and make the space feel generous.
• Bedroom ease Bedside tables should sit within a couple of centimetres of mattress height. A low dresser with rounded edges keeps mornings smooth and uncluttered.
• Home office focus: Choose a desk depth that suits your posture and monitor size. Add a custom shelf or credenza so everyday items have a home and cables vanish.

These simple patterns help you get the most from Australian Custom Made Furniture without guesswork.

How the custom process works with Chocolate Wood

• Hello, and brief Share photos, room sizes and what you want the furniture to do. Talk about how you use the space day to day.
• Timber and style selection: Choose a timber tone, edge profile and base style that match your palette. If you are unsure, bring a couple of inspiration images, and the team will guide you.
• Size and function Confirm lengths, depths and heights. Add functional details such as drawers, adjustable shelves and cable management where useful.
• Specification and approval: Receive simple drawings and notes so everyone agrees on the plan. This step keeps production smooth and installation calm.
• Making and finishing, Skilled makers craft your piece with durable joinery and hand-applied finishes. The focus is on surfaces that feel good to touch and are easy to care for.
• Delivery and placement. Practical coordination ensures access is clear and rooms are ready. Furniture is set in place, and you get a quick run-through of care notes.

The process is friendly, clear and designed to help you feel confident from start to finish.

Everyday care that keeps timber beautiful

• Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry after cleaning
• Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners only when needed
• Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads
• Use coasters and felt pads to protect surfaces
• Keep rooms ventilated and avoid direct heat where possible

Timber rewards small, regular habits. A minute here and there keeps surfaces calm and even.

Design tips for a cohesive home

• Repeat a detail. Carry one edge profile across dining, living and bedroom. The repetition creates a quiet rhythm.
• Group by tone. If floors are warm, lean into mid and rich timbers. If floors are cool, consider lighter timbers or pieces that bridge the palette.
• Mix textures, not noise. Pair timber with linen, wool and stone. Let grain be the texture and keep colours restrained.
• Leave breathing room. Negative space around each piece makes the room feel more expensive and easier to live in.
• Add one handcrafted touch. A ceramic bowl, a woven stool or a hand-blown lamp gives personality without clutter.

This is the design language behind great Australian Custom Made Furniture. Simple choices, consistently applied.

Frequently asked questions

Can I match new pieces to furniture I already own? Yes. Share photos in natural light and a close-up of existing timber. The team can recommend a tone and edge that harmonise rather than compete.

What if my room is small? Choose rounded corners and slim legs to keep the flow. A narrow console and an oval coffee table will open the space without losing function.

Can storage be tailored inside? Absolutely. Add adjustable shelves, soft-close drawers and cable routes so everything has a home and the front stays clean.

How do I choose between light and dark timber? Look at your floors, rugs and walls. If the palette is cool and bright, light timber will feel natural. If you want an evening mood and drama, choose a richer tone.

Will pieces date quickly? Simple shapes and honest materials age well. Choose forms you will still enjoy in five years, and the furniture will feel current for much longer.
