In the furniture industry, the word custom can mean many things. For one project, it may simply mean selecting the right finish or fabric. For another, it could mean adjusting dimensions to fit a challenging space. And sometimes, it means starting with nothing more than a sketch or an idea and creating something entirely new.
At Belle Meade Custom (BMC), we approach customization as a spectrum rather than a single service. From personalizing an existing Belle Meade Signature piece to developing a one-of-a-kind design, we work alongside designers to find the right solution for each project.
To make the process easier to understand, our custom capabilities can be viewed across three levels of customization.
Tier 1 — Standard Customization
Start with a BMS Design. Make It Your Own.
Sometimes, the right piece already exists—it simply needs the right details to complement the space.
Our first level of customization begins with pieces from the Belle Meade Signature inline collection. Designers can personalize an existing design through our selection of finishes, fabrics, metals, hardware, and other available material options while maintaining the original dimensions and design.
Our extensive finish program is an important part of this flexibility. The hand-rubbed finish options are carefully developed and crafted by skilled artisans, with each finish overseen from start to completion to ensure consistency and quality.
Ideal for: Projects that need the flexibility to coordinate finishes, materials and details while keeping the original BMS design intact.
Tier 2 — Dimension & Modification Customization
Adapt the Design to the Project.
A designer may love a piece but need it wider, shorter, taller, or re-proportioned for a particular space. A material may need to change, or a design detail may need to evolve to better suit the project.
This is where Belle Meade Custom goes beyond standard customization. Designers can customize an existing BMS piece by exploring changes to dimensions, proportions, materials, wood species, metal options, and functional details. Each modification is carefully reviewed by our team to ensure the design remains structurally sound and functional.
Ideal for: Designers who have found the right design direction but need greater flexibility to make it work within a specific space or specification.
Tier 3 — True Bespoke
Your Vision, Our Execution.
For projects that call for something completely original, BMC offers true bespoke furniture development.
Whether you come to us with a sketch, drawing, inspiration image, material concept, or simply an idea, our team works alongside you to bring that vision to life. We guide the entire custom journey—from design development and material selection to structural recommendations, technical review, and detailed production drawings—ensuring each concept is thoughtfully developed and ready for production.
With no minimum order quantity, designers have the freedom to create a single statement piece or develop custom furniture for an entire project. Throughout the process, our in-house R&D team provides the engineering and technical expertise behind the scenes, so you can stay focused on the creative vision while we take care of how to make it work.
Ideal for: One-of-a-kind furniture, signature pieces, and projects that call for something truly unique.
