Designed by You. Built by Hand.

What makes Amish furniture truly exceptional is its foundation in custom craftsmanship. Every piece is built by hand, tailored precisely to the vision and specifications of the homeowner. Whether you’re drawn to a particular wood grain, table shape, or finish, your choices are honored and brought to life by skilled artisans.

Some clients come to us with a well-defined image of their ideal dining space. Others arrive seeking inspiration—and we warmly welcome both. Our team is here to offer guidance, with a wealth of design knowledge and a deep respect for individual style.

Finding Your Signature Style

Selecting a design style is a meaningful step in curating your dining room. Whether your taste leans toward the timeless or the contemporary, Amish furniture adapts with grace and authenticity. Here are a few favored styles to consider:

Modern Style Furniture

Modern: Clean lines and minimalism, often accented with bold tones or subtle metal elements, offer a sleek, purposeful atmosphere.

Traditional Style Furniture

Traditional: Rich woods, detailed carvings, and classic silhouettes lend elegance and refinement to your space.

Rustic Style Furniture

Rustic: Embrace warmth with natural textures, earth-toned finishes, and wood’s organic charm.

Industrial Style Furniture

Industrial: Marry rugged materials like exposed brick and iron with solid wood furniture for a striking, balanced effect.

Beyond these, there’s a rich world of styles to explore—Scandinavian, coastal, bohemian, and more—each ready to be personalized with your unique vision and the expert hand of an Amish craftsman.

Fitting the Furniture to Your Space

Every dining room has its own story to tell—some are grand and formal, others cozy and intimate. Understanding the room’s dimensions and character is vital. Measure walls, note the placement of windows and doorways, and consider how the space will be used. Is it for everyday meals, festive gatherings, or both?

By starting with the layout and purpose, you can ensure that each piece of furniture serves not only the space but the lifestyle it supports.

Choosing a Color Palette for a Dining Room

Set the Mood with Color

Color brings depth and emotion to a dining space. Whether you choose to surround your table in soft neutrals or daring jewel tones, your palette should reflect both personality and function.

  • Neutral hues like whites, beiges, and greys create a serene, versatile backdrop.

  • Bold shades—think rich burgundies, navies, or emeralds—imbue the room with energy and elegance.

  • Earthy tones ground the space in warmth, echoing the natural materials from which Amish furniture is born.

In smaller rooms, lighter colors can lift and open the space; larger rooms may invite deeper tones and layered contrasts.

 

 

The Warmth of Light

Lighting transforms a room as surely as the furniture within it. In a dining space, it sets the tone—from the glow of a quiet dinner to the brightness of a celebratory feast.

  • Dimmer switches provide flexibility for any occasion.

  • Accent lighting such as sconces or table lamps adds charm and dimension.

  • Natural light is always a welcome guest—windows and skylights invite the sun in to mingle with wood’s natural grain.
