With the arrival of spring, we at Homewood find ourselves reflecting on the journey we’ve taken over the past 20 years. This time of year is one of renewal, growth, and looking ahead. It also offers us a moment to pause and consider what truly sets Homewood apart in the world of solid wood furniture.
So, why choose Homewood?
To answer, we must look beyond the basics—beyond the quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal that any reputable furniture maker should offer. For us, it’s about much more than simply meeting expectations. It’s about creating a meaningful experience for our customers, from the initial design phase to the moment their custom furniture piece arrives in their home.
Crafting Your Vision, Not Just a Product
Every piece of furniture we create at Homewood is more than just a product on a showroom floor. It’s a carefully crafted embodiment of your vision and style, designed to fit seamlessly into your space and your life. Unlike mass-produced furniture that often requires compromise, our made-to-order approach means that each item is tailored specifically to your needs.
When you choose Homewood, you’re not limited by what’s ‘in stock’. Instead, you have the freedom to select from a wide range of wood types, fabrics, weaves, colours and sizes. This level of personalisation ensures that the furniture you receive is a perfect fit—both aesthetically and functionally. Whether it’s a dining table for family gatherings or a cozy armchair for quiet moments, your Homewood piece will be uniquely yours.
Why settle for anything less?
Empowering Local Artisans
In today’s world, where automation and mass production dominate, we believe in the enduring value of human craftsmanship. Each piece of Homewood furniture is handcrafted by skilled artisans, individuals whose expertise and attention to detail breathe life into every item we produce.
This commitment to craftsmanship is about more than just creating beautiful furniture—it’s about supporting our local community. In a country where unemployment is a significant challenge, we are proud to be part of the solution. By employing and training local artisans, many of whom come from surrounding rural areas, we help them develop valuable skills, support their families, and build a better future.
When you choose Homewood, you’re not just purchasing furniture; you’re making an investment in people, in our community, and in the art of furniture making.
Sustainability at Our Core
At Homewood, we genuinely believe that our choices today shape the world of tomorrow. That’s why sustainability is a core principle of everything we do. We are deeply committed to minimising our environmental impact, and one way we do this is by using alien invasive wood species as our primary raw material.
These invasive species, such as Blackwood, are not native to our environment and can cause significant harm to local ecosystems. By using this wood in our furniture, we help to remove these invasive trees from sensitive areas, restoring natural water systems and rehabilitating the environment. Our approach not only results in stunning, durable solid wood furniture but also contributes to the preservation of our planet.
Quality Takes Time
We understand that waiting for a custom-made piece can be challenging, especially in a world where instant gratification is often the norm. However, we firmly believe that perfection is worth the wait. Our dedication to quality means that every piece of Homewood furniture is meticulously crafted, with no corners cut and no compromises made.
While our lead times may be longer than those of mass-produced furniture, the result is a piece that will stand the test of time, both in durability and in style. In the end, our customers often tell us that the wait was well worth it.
At Homewood, our work is driven by passion, purpose, and a deep commitment to our values. As we look forward to the future, we remain dedicated to creating solid wood furniture that is not only beautiful and functional but also meaningful.
