"We asked Kerri and the Inch team to do the impossible: create a custom ottoman to match our 6yr old couch. She was even able to match the stitching. Exactly what we asked for and we are thrilled."
Hermosa Beach, California
Made By Inch builds custom sofas for Venice buyers who have walked Abbott Kinney, visited every studio on the strip, and found that nothing was built for the specific room they actually live in.
Handcrafted in Hermosa Beach · Delivered to Venice
Built for Venice. Built for your room.
You have walked every inch of Abbott Kinney. You know the studios, the showrooms, the aesthetic. None of them built the sofa for the room you actually live in — the canal house that faces the water, the cottage where four inches too wide changes everything, or the creative home where the brief is specific and the standard options are not. Made By Inch builds for all three Venice living contexts, starting with yours.
"Venice buyers are not looking for something impressive. They are looking for something right — right fabric, right depth, right for that room. That is what we build."
— Kerri, Made By Inch

The Venice home
Abbott Kinney. The canals. The cottages. We build for all three.
Abbott Kinney is the best design retail strip in Los Angeles for a certain kind of buyer. The stores are curated, the aesthetic is right, and almost nothing is made for the specific room you live in. Venice has three living contexts that no showroom addresses well: the Abbott Kinney design buyer whose brief is clear and whose tolerance for almost-right is zero, the canal house resident whose room has specific proportions and a relationship to the water the furniture has to acknowledge, and the beach cottage buyer west of Lincoln whose room is compact and where exact width is not a preference — it is a requirement. Venice buyers have a word for furniture that is almost right: wrong. We build right.
"Venice buyers know what they want. They have been to every studio on Abbott Kinney. What they have not found is a studio that builds it to the exact dimension of their room. We build to the exact dimension of your Venice room. Every time."
— Kerri, Made By Inch

Abbott Kinney buyers have a precise aesthetic — natural fabrics, considered proportions, a sofa that looks like it belongs in a Venice creative home rather than a hotel lobby. The brief is usually specific: Belgian linen in a particular tone, a depth that works with the room's relationship to the light, a configuration that is functional without being formal. Made By Inch builds to that brief exactly — the fabric specified, the depth confirmed, the configuration as drawn. No adapting. No substituting.
A Venice canal house is not a standard home. The rooms face the water, the light comes from a specific direction, and the architecture has a character that a floor piece from any showroom addresses approximately. Canal house living rooms need a sofa built to the specific wall, in a fabric that suits the coastal light — Belgian linen or natural velvet — in a configuration that works with the room's orientation toward the canal. A floor piece from Abbott Kinney is close. We build for your canal house exactly.
Venice beach cottages west of Lincoln and along the boardwalk-adjacent streets are compact in the best sense — small rooms, big light, California living at its most immediate. The sofa brief here is specific: a width that fits the wall without crowding the room, a depth generous enough to live in, a fabric that handles the coastal air. Four inches too wide changes the whole room. We build to the exact centimetre of your cottage wall.

How it works
From Pier Avenue to Venice.
Every sofa is built at our Hermosa Beach workshop and delivered to your Venice home. The process starts with your room and which Venice living context it is: Abbott Kinney design brief, canal house proportions, or beach cottage exact width. Everything else follows from that.
Visit the showroom at 321 Pier Avenue.
Visit our showroom at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach — take Lincoln Boulevard south from Venice to PCH, then south to Hermosa Beach. The drive from Abbott Kinney and the Venice canals is under 20 minutes. Book a private consultation and bring your room dimensions. If you are working with an interior designer, we can meet at the designer's studio or at your Venice home. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
We design your sofa for your Venice room.
You take fabric samples home. You live with them in your actual Venice light — the way a canal-facing room catches the afternoon from the west, the way an Abbott Kinney home reads with natural linen in the morning. Then we works through every detail: your exact wall length, the depth your room allows, the configuration that suits your Venice living context, and the fabric. You confirm the order and receive a delivery date in writing within 24 hours.
We build it here and deliver it to your door.
Your sofa is built at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. White-glove delivery brings it to your Venice home — canal houses, beach cottages, Abbott Kinney-area design homes. The piece that arrives is exactly the piece specified. For Venice projects managed through an interior designer or architect, we coordinate delivery around the project installation date.
Abbott Kinney. The canals. The cottage. We build for all three.
Book a consultation at 321 Pier Avenue and our first question will be about your Venice room — the context, the wall, and what the sofa needs to do in that specific space. We will walk you through every fabric and send you home with samples. The drive from Venice is under 20 minutes via Lincoln. We can also meet at your Venice home or your designer's studio.

Where can I get a custom sofa in Venice, Los Angeles?
Made By Inch at 321 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach builds custom sofas for Venice, Los Angeles homes — including Abbott Kinney-area properties, Venice canal houses, beach cottages west of Lincoln, and design-led homes throughout Venice. Our showroom is open Monday through Saturday 10am to 5pm. The drive from Venice is under 20 minutes via Lincoln Boulevard south to PCH. White-glove delivery to all Venice addresses is included with every order.
Does Made By Inch build custom sofas for Venice canal houses?
Yes. Made By Inch builds custom sofas specifically for Venice canal houses — homes with a specific relationship to the water and architectural character that standard showroom pieces cannot address. Canal house living rooms have specific proportions, natural light from the water side, and a design aesthetic that calls for natural fabrics — Belgian linen, natural velvet, and performance linen in coastal tones. Every piece is built to your exact canal house room dimensions at our Hermosa Beach workshop.
Does Made By Inch deliver custom sofas to Venice?
Yes. Made By Inch delivers custom sofas and sectionals to all Venice, Los Angeles addresses — Abbott Kinney Boulevard area, the Venice canals, beach cottages west of Lincoln Boulevard, and all residential streets throughout Venice. White-glove delivery is included with every order. We also deliver to Santa Monica, Culver City, Marina del Rey, Pacific Palisades, and all West Los Angeles. Every piece is built at our 321 Pier Avenue workshop, under 20 minutes from Venice.
What is the best sofa fabric for a Venice home?
Belgian linen is the most specified fabric for Venice homes — it handles the coastal air, suits the casual and creative aesthetic of Abbott Kinney-area properties and canal houses, and becomes more characterful with age. Natural velvet is specified for Venice canal house living rooms where depth of colour matters. Performance linen is the most popular choice for Venice beach cottages with dogs or children — it handles daily use without looking like it does. Every fabric is available as a sample at our Hermosa Beach showroom.
How far is the Made By Inch showroom from Venice?
Made By Inch is at 321 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach — approximately 15 to 20 minutes from Venice via Lincoln Boulevard south to Pacific Coast Highway, then south to Hermosa Beach. From the Abbott Kinney area and the Venice canals, take Lincoln south. From beach cottages west of Lincoln, head to PCH directly. We can also meet at your Venice home or your interior designer's studio. Call (310) 504-0896 to schedule.
How much does a custom sofa cost for a Venice home?
Custom sofas from Made By Inch are competitively priced with premium furniture retailers — without retail markup. Many Venice buyers find a handcrafted Made By Inch sofa costs the same or less than a comparable piece from the showrooms on Abbott Kinney or RH, and is built to their exact room rather than a standard size. Book a free consultation at our Hermosa Beach showroom for an exact quote.
What makes Made By Inch the right choice for Venice homeowners?
Made By Inch is the only custom sofa studio that specifically addresses all three Venice living briefs: the Abbott Kinney design buyer who needs creative-casual exact execution, the canal house resident who needs a piece built for the specific proportions and water-facing aesthetic of their home, and the beach cottage buyer west of Lincoln who needs compact, breathable, and exactly the right width. No other furniture studio in Venice has published a specific brief for canal houses or beach cottages. Made By Inch builds for all three. Lead times confirmed in writing. White-glove delivery to Venice included. Lifetime warranty on every piece.
