Introduction
The placement, size, function and finish of furniture is what comes to together to tell a story. A piece of furniture has the ability to highlight a particular colour, be hidden in a wall, reveal storage or define a space. An interior designer’s role in furniture design goes far beyond simply proposing pieces. Furniture is taken into consideration right from the beginning when designing the layout to maximise function and flow. Whether sourcing store bought items, personalising industrial pieces or designing bespoke, we ensure each piece contributes to both the beauty, story and functionality of the space.

Sustainability & the Longevity of Furniture
At Interior Stories we are mindful of sustainability. We often recommend options that are made from sustainable or local materials (such as reclaimed wood or bamboo) or eco-friendly upholstery options (like organic cotton or hemp).
Besides this we recommend pieces that will stand the test of time, especially for high-use areas like living rooms and kitchens. This could include selecting fabrics that resist wear, furniture with strong, durable frames, and materials that are easy to clean. On the other hand if the client has pets or young children, we might recommend more durable, stain-resistant fabrics or furniture with rounded edges for safety.
Store Bought Furniture in Italy
Off the shelf industrially made items can also be a great fit for an interior space. In some cases these items may come with the option to personalise the size or finishing.
Made to Measure Furniture in Italy
For furniture items with specific needs or requirements there is the option to create made to measure items. We collaborate with trusted Italian craftsmen & furniture makers to create unique bespoke furniture. This could be anything from a tailor-made sofa or dining table to built-in pieces like shelving units, wardrobes or cabinetry that fit perfectly within the space. Custom pieces allow for a higher level of personalisation. The option to choose materials, finishes, and even details like stitching or carving, to match the client’s tastes and the room’s aesthetic becomes possible.
