Custom Furniture and Upholstery for Every Industry

 

Every industry has different furniture and upholstery needs. A restaurant may need unique shaped booths or banquettes that are large enough for the whole family. A corporate office interior might desire modern, modular seating in their open spaces while needing more intimate, private seating for other working areas. Churches and temples require long pews and banquettes to welcome their congregation. Hotels can have a need for all of these types of furniture as well as eye-catching boutique furniture to really stand out. Luckily, Corn Upholstery is uniquely positioned to be able to create custom furniture for all of these applications. In this article, we will look at each of these industry’s interiors and how Corn Upholstery can help interior designers, contractors, millworkers, and builders create the perfect space.

 
 
 
 

Hotel Interior Design

A hotel’s interior can range in the way they’d like their guests to feel. Many hotels look to create a familiar, homey vibe with their interiors. They’ll use warm, neutral tones and transitional furniture designs to make it feel more like your living room at home. Other hotels want to stand out with over-the-top designs and unique, boutique interiors. These interiors look to create eye-popping backdrops for social media posting as well as ornate finishes for a luxe, opulent feel. Upholstered furniture in these boutique interiors feature hand-folded tufting, rich leathers and velvets, larger scale dimensions, as well as plush and overstuffed cushioning. Then you have your luxury hotel interiors that call for only the highest quality of furniture and finishes. Regardless of the design, all hotel interiors need that custom touch to meet their customer’s needs. Corn Upholstery custom seating, banquettes, and poufs are the perfect solution for every hotel lobby and lounge. We are uniquely equipped to create your custom furniture design to its smallest detail as well as lend our 70+ years of experience to ensure your custom furniture is of the highest quality and comfort. With Corn Upholstery, you and your clients will be happy with your custom hospitality furniture for many years.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Restaurant Interior Design

A restaurant experience is made to stimulate all of the diner’s senses. The interior needs to look and feel as premium and enjoyable as the fare. When you can get a nice steak in numerous restaurants, what makes the difference in dining? The atmosphere.

Beautiful furniture will elevate any dining experience. An intimate booth is perfect for a romantic date. Long banquettes let you have a meal with all your friends. Whether your restaurant interior calls for custom booths or banquettes, Corn Upholstery is your highest-quality choice. Our custom booth and banquette pieces are built to your exact design and with an artisan’s quality that your patrons will notice. This custom furniture element will set your restaurant apart from the cookie-cutter franchise designs and elevate it to a true dining experience.

Corn Upholstery can also help breathe new life into your existing restaurant furniture. A busy restaurant sees hundreds of patrons a day. When you do the math, after about 5 years, a restaurant booth or banquette can sit the same amount of people as a good-sized city. These seats take a lot of punishment over time. Once these seats reach the end of their lifecycle, instead of having all new furniture built, you can have Corn Upholstery refurbish and reupholster your booth and banquette seating. We are experts in restaurant furniture reupholstering, so we know exactly what it takes to bring old booths and banquettes back to their original glory.

 
 
 

Millwork Components

 

Upholstery and millwork really go hand-in-hand. Most furniture is a combination between the soft and the hard and that carries over to upholstery’s relationship with millwork. For those who aren’t familiar with the building trades, millwork is often categorized as the decorative exposed wooden elements in interior designs. Decorative wooden elements are a prominent feature in many pieces of furniture, so it just makes sense that interior designers and builders would want to incorporate architectural millwork into furniture as well. That’s where Corn Upholstery comes into play.

When millworkers are tasked with integrating seating or acoustic elements into their scope, we can be counted upon to help bring that vision to life. Many millworkers aren’t very familiar with upholstery, so when a millwork seat or wall needs a soft touch, we have the expertise for the job. For many of these applications, we offer our upholstered pad products. These custom cushions consist of high-density foam attached to a solid substrate and are upholstered in your desired fabric or leather. With these pads shaped to fit the millwork surfaces, they add a custom touch to any interior.

Multi-family interior design

A great multi-family complex is all about the amenities that come along with the apartment. A great pool, beautiful courtyards, and sporting areas are a must, but usually the most inviting parts are the common gathering areas. The apartment clubhouse and amenity rooms are an extension of the apartment. Another room to use for residents to host their friends, family, and special events. Since these areas are a shared space, they need furniture that appeals to everyone and seating that can stand up to all the tenant’s traffic. A great way to make enough seats for these gatherings is to take advantage of booth and banquette seating. Corn Upholstery custom booths and banquettes fit perfectly into the multi-family interior design and provide the kind of durability to last through every big event.

Corporate Interior Design

A good corporate interior promotes group dynamics and ingenuity while also offering privacy to really dig into personal work. Accordingly, having the right furniture in each of these settings can really determine the success of these work goals. We at Corn Upholstery can help bridge that gap from fantastic furniture design on paper to actual furniture within the space.

Furniture in an office usually breaks down into two categories, furniture for guests and furniture for team members. The guest furniture in the reception area usually focuses on individual seats that give the person a sense of their own space. Armchairs usually help to define these spaces. Sofas and loveseats can also be used in this area, but it may limit the amount of seating as strangers are reluctant to sit close to one another. There are many standard size armchairs readily available off the shelf, so this may not be the best application for custom furniture, but a custom banquette could also work well in this space as a way to get the most seating out of the room. A banquette will follow the wall, thus leaving the room more open for auxiliary seating, ottomans, or coffee tables. They also rarely have arms, so they give you more seating space.

For seating within the office workspace, booths and banquettes create the perfect seating solution. They allow groups of workers to gather together and encourage collaboration. This sharing of ideas between colleges is what makes the office environment so valuable. Booth seating also invites collaboration while offering a bit of privacy to help focus on the task at hand.

home interior design

Everything about a home’s interior design should reflect the homeowner. No two homeowners are the same and it can be difficult at times to find the right piece to fit their vision. A custom touch may be necessary to achieve that perfect room. There is no larger retail furniture category than home furnishings, so the likelihood of needing custom seating is low, but when you can’t find that exact style or size you need, that’s where we come in.

Custom booth and banquette seating in the home usually revolves around the kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home and where everyone tends to gather. What better to have in this family meeting space than booth and banquette seating to fit the whole group? Banquette seating is a great way to maximize seating options for the space taken up. Custom banquette seating tucks neatly into nooks or against walls, leaving more space in gathering areas. They also offer more seats, as guests can cozy up a little closer together than you can achieve in separate chairs.
