Smania MyMood: customise and create exclusive luxury furniture

Luxury furnishings are synonymous with exclusivity. In turn, however, exclusivity means customising every detail and characterising an environment according to the sensations you want to convey. Here are some ideas for customising luxury furniture and making it exclusive.

The characteristics of a luxury piece of furniture are high-quality materials, resistance and elegance. But it’s not that alone. For a piece of furniture to be truly luxurious, in fact, it must be perfectly integrated into the environment in which it is positioned and it has to be studied in every detail.

Thanks to Smania MyMood, customising luxury furniture has become extremely easy. In fact, our philosophy allows you to choose your favourite furnishing complement and personalise it thanks to an infinite number of details and materials. It lets you be the one to decide on the fabric of a sofa or if you prefer, to have it made from leather. You can choose the type of wood for a table or the ceramic glaze on a decorative object.

But among the many options, what are the details that make a piece of furniture truly luxurious and exclusive? Certainly, a closer look should be given to the choice of materials and patterns, colours and finishes. Here are some tips to make a luxury piece of furniture unique and exclusive.

6 ways to customise a luxury piece of furniture

Patterns, colours, elegant details: everything, if carefully studied, contributes to making a piece of furniture an exclusive one. Thanks to Smania MyMood, then, you can do it directly online by accessing the MyMood section, where you will have access to a vast catalogue of materials and styles with which to personalise each Smania furnishing accessory. Sometimes, while creating furnishing designs, we tend to neglect the details. However, it is precisely the attention given to the finishing that makes the difference between a luxury home and a home furnished with expensive furniture, but which fails to integrate with the environment. Here are some examples on how to customise a Smania piece of furniture.

Choose steel finishes for the sofa

Furniture that no living room is without, sofas, armchairs and chaise lounges are a very important all-around piece to give character and personality to an environment. In addition to deciding what material will create the perfect sofa for your project, Smania gives you the possibility of customising it right up to the last detail, including the inlays and the feet of the sofa. Do you want to give an aggressive and modern touch to the relaxation area? Then opt for steel finishes, as in the case of the Caesar sofa. If you prefer elegance, instead, choose details in wood and bronzed metal, as in the case of Dorothy. Remember that for each sofa you can change the fabric or leather, the type of metal of the inlays or the type of wood and this also applies to all other furniture designed by Smania.

Choose an extroverted pattern for the fabrics

A “trick” to make a luxury environment truly unique is to play with the fabric patterns. Whether it is a rug, the fabric of a sofa or a curtain, the geometric motif rather than a floral one can make the difference in a luxurious environment. Don’t think you can’t dare. An eclectic pattern can fit well in a luxurious environment, one just needs to know how to combine it cleverly to the other complements. For example, Smania proposes floral patterns, such as “Bouquet“, particular patterns like “Bargelo”, or more classic ones like “Chopin” or “Fumè”.

Marble, wood or glass: how to customise a luxury table

Countertop tables, low tables or dining tables: each style requires its own different characteristics. Depending on the style chosen for the home, a table can be in wood or with marble and glass inserts. Glass gives dynamism and reflects light, so it is the most suitable for modern/contemporary styles and to give airiness to an environment. Wood, on the other hand, is perfect both for classic environments (studios, dining rooms, libraries) and for modern classic spaces, the same is true for marble.

Leather vs fabric: how to choose the right material

Depending on the style of the house, you can choose materials like leather rather than fabric or even a mix of both. A piece of furniture completely changes its appearance depending on its covering (for example, the Smania “Beverly” chaise lounge changes significantly depending on if it is in leather and with the various colours of the fabric): leather is synonymous with classic, but it can express a modern style in shades of black and cream.

Wood: all the possibilities for customisation with Smania

Wood opens up a chapter of its own thanks to the many possibilities of customisation proposed by Smania. Not just the wood type and therefore its colour, but also the processing methods, with veins and knots that give the furniture a unique character. With Smania MyMood you can choose from among wengé, Canaletto walnut, rosewood and grey ash, so as to make a table, a sofa or even a decorative object perfectly suitable for the environment it is placed in.

Ceramics: from nickel to gold, all the solutions for your decorative objects

Luxury furnishings can be anonymous if not supported by decorative objects positioned at the right point to give character and style to the home. But is it possible to personalise precisely that vase or that ornament that you like so much? With Smania you can choose not only which object is best suited to the luxury home you are decorating, but you can also choose how it’s made. The ceramic by Smania is in fact unique: It can be glazed in bronze lustre, nickel lustre, gold lustre, pearl lustre or platinum lustre, to adapt it to any desire.

How to choose the right materials for each environment

We have seen how to customise a luxury piece of furniture by choosing one material rather than another and how to make it truly unique. But which materials are best suited to a luxury yacht or a studio? To the reception of a 5-star hotel or a private villa? Let’s take a look at five fundamental points to consider before designing the furnishing of an environment.

1. Consider the style of the exterior

Before starting a project it is necessary to evaluate the context in which you are going to be working. For example, if you are furnishing a luxury hotel located in the centre of a metropolis, you will have to consider both the style of the neighbourhood in which it stands and the style of the building. Conversely, a yacht will have to convey a dynamic idea while a villa surrounded by greenery can opt for a very classic style. Depending on this, you can start thinking about a style to be adopted for the interior furnishing.

2. Evaluate the use to be made of the environment

If you are furnishing a cruise ship, you will have to choose luxury furniture made of versatile and resistant materials. The same is true if you are furnishing a five-star suite, whose furniture will be used by a great number of people over the years. We have to think about the functionality of a piece of furniture even if we furnish a luxury villa or apartment: here, however, we could let ourselves place a delicate piece of furniture or a more precious and fragile material within it.

3. Speak with the client

Now that you have a base from which to start, you can discuss it with the client and present your idea. If you did this before having a plan, you would in fact risk allowing yourself to be overly influenced. To furnish means to capture the expectations and tastes of those who commission the project, but at the same time, to guide them towards an optimal result. Don’t be afraid to advise the client, and don’t be afraid to even modify, break down and start your plan all over again according to the new information you have.

4. Choose the style

Once you have these points clearly in mind, you can finally move on to the operational phase: choosing the furnishing style and materials. In fact, luxury is expressed in hundreds of different styles, the three main ones being classic, modern and modern classic. But each of them must then be interpreted and customised thanks to a careful choice of furniture, objects and layout of the spaces.

5. Choose the materials

Let’s move on to the last point: the choice of materials. As shown above, there are “tricks” for giving character to a luxury piece of furniture. Playing with a mix of materials, adapting them to any environment is very easy with the Smania MyMood philosophy. Wood, leather, fabric, ceramics: everything can be further customised with Smania, which gives us endless possibilities for making a furnishing project truly unique in the world.
