Quick answer: A made to order sofa is built to your chosen size, shape, depth, cushion fill and fabric after you order it. Candace & Basil builds bespoke sofas, custom sectionals and modular sofas in-house with kiln-dried hardwood frames, high-density foam and a non-sag suspension. You can design yours at our Miami showroom at 2334 NE 2nd Ave or online.
Key takeaways
- Custom couches are built to your room's dimensions, not a catalogue size.
- Choose the configuration: sofa, L-shape, U-shape, chaise or modular.
- Pick seat depth and cushion fill for how you actually sit.
- Frames are bench-made with kiln-dried hardwood and non-sag suspension.
- Try the Nimbus, Isla, Stanton and Sardinia series in person in Miami.
Why choose a bespoke sofa over a store-bought one?
Most store sofas come in two or three lengths and one depth. Miami living rooms don't. Between open-plan condos, wraparound windows and big family homes, a custom couch lets you build exactly the length, depth and shape your space needs. It's made with materials you choose, not whatever was cheapest to ship. See our full comparison: custom sofas vs store-bought sofas.
How do you design a made to order sofa? (5 steps)
- Measure the room and the way in. Note wall lengths, window positions, and the width of your doorways, elevator and hallways.
- Choose the shape. A sofa, loveseat, L-shaped or U-shaped sectional, chaise, or a modular sofa you can rearrange.
- Set the comfort. Pick seat depth (deeper for lounging, standard for upright sitting) and cushion fill.
- Pick the fabric. Performance fabric for kids, pets and humidity, or linen, velvet or leather for a softer look.
- Confirm and build. Our team checks every dimension, then your sofa is bench-made to order.

Is a custom modular sofa worth it?
A custom modular sofa is built from separate sections that join together. It's worth it if you move often, have a tricky elevator or stairwell, or want to switch between an L-shape and a U-shape. Each module goes through doorways easily, and you can add pieces later. Learn more in when modular sofas are the right choice.
