  Now let us discuss the steps involved in furniture manufacturing business  

Knowing Your Niche: It is probably the most important thing to do before starting any business and it includes first to decide the kind of furniture you wish to create for example office, domestic or home furniture or luxury items. The next thing to do will be to undertake a market research to understand your target audience, the demand for it and the geographical areas you wish to cater i.e. locally or a broader market. A competitive analysis involving knowing your competitors, product prices and characteristics that will set your furniture stand out in the market is a must. Another aspect is customization, decide if you will allow customization for your products. Develop a business name, logo and slogan.  

Tools and Machine List: I am mentioning few machines and tools which are very important for any kind of furniture business.

  9. Cost of maintaining a website.

Design Inspiration: A well-executed theme or a concept can result in a timeless piece of furniture. Creating vivid, multi-functional and space saving furniture is a trend followed by modern furniture designers.  

Required Raw Materials: The most obvious choice is wood, and why, because it is the most versatile, renewable and sustainable resource. It is strong, durable and usually, one lengthy plank of wood can create one piece of furniture. Each wood has different characteristics adding a different degree of warmth and elegance to the ambiance. It is machinable and can be fabricated to fit any shape and size. Traditionally wood is classified into two kinds – hard and soft

 Other Materials: Other than wood, the following materials are also used to make furniture.

(1) Steel/ Metal – Metal furniture is easy to clean and tolerates pest fighting chemicals better than wood. It is best for any sort of living environment dormitory or housing. It is highly durable and can withstand heavy usage. Metal furniture can last for 10-15 years. up-front investment is higher but the replacement cycle is less frequent.  

(2) Plastic – Since its invention in 1862 in London, plastic is largely used as a raw material for furniture production, and because of its extraordinary ability to mold into any form it has increasingly become the most popular material to make bespoke furniture. Plastic furniture is lightweight and unbreakable. The maintenance cost is negligible and does not wear down in extreme weather conditions.  

(3) Glass – Glass is usable for furniture when it is toughened, also known as toughened glass, which is done by heating and rapidly cooling with cold air causing the outer surfaces solidifying before the interior inducing permanent compressive stresses into the surfaces of the glass which makes it suitable for furniture as it then can be curved and bent.  

Choosing a Location: It’s not an easy task to choose the perfect location, consider a space that fits the needs of the customers. If you plan to do cabinets look for a large space for a better display. It is highly suggested to choose a place that is easily accessible to your suppliers, a place where your suppliers can easily reach and drop off the materials required. Do not fall for a lower rent but for an efficient useful space keeping in mind all the above said things.  

Have an Online Store: Choosing to sell online would still require you to have a warehouse to keep your inventory and stock. Space efficient and big enough to store the products without causing any damage. Selling online implies having a brilliant website which allows the customer to choose the quantity, size, delivery date, a ‘send as a gift’ option and the payment gateway.
