Practical guidance for custom furniture projects
Explain the brief
Describe the space, use, material constraints and client priorities in a few clear sentences; keep confidential details private.
Reveal craftsmanship
Add a close view of dovetails, mitres, drawer runners or hand-finished edges where these details distinguish your workshop.
Organize by commission type
Separate dining furniture, cabinetry, seating and built-ins so a prospective customer can quickly find work similar to their own request.
Frequently asked questions
Should I show workshop photographs?
Yes, selectively. One well-lit making-of image can explain the craft behind a finished commission; avoid long sequences that obscure the result.
Can a small furniture workshop have a useful portfolio?
Yes. A few complete, clearly documented commissions can be more persuasive than a large collection of disconnected images.
What details matter to a client?
Materials, approximate dimensions, design intent, finishing approach and a photograph showing the piece in context.
Do I need a separate website for every furniture style?
No. Group related commissions into projects within one portfolio and make the categories easy to understand.
Can I publish a portfolio without a custom domain?
Yes. A shareable hosted portfolio link is sufficient to start; custom domains are an optional paid capability.
How should I handle client privacy?
Seek permission for identifiable interiors and avoid publishing addresses, personal details or private design drawings.
