"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 Silver Lake buyers who know exactly what they want — and have not found a studio that will build it to the specific dimensions and character of their Silver Lake home.
Handcrafted in Hermosa Beach · Delivered to Silver Lake
Silver Lake has the brief. We have the build.
The mid-century homeowner above the reservoir knows the proportions their room requires. The craftsman bungalow buyer on Micheltorena knows the depth and the fabric. The creative apartment renter near Sunset Junction knows the exact brief. What none of them have found is a studio that builds it — to the exact dimensions, in the right fabric, for that specific Silver Lake room. Made By Inch does.
"Silver Lake buyers do not want something impressive. They want something right — right for the room, right for the architecture, right for how they actually live. That is a very specific brief. It is exactly the brief we build from."
— Kerri, Made By Inch

The Silver Lake home
The mid-century brief. The bungalow. The apartment. One studio for all three.
The mid-century home above the reservoir has lower ceilings, longer horizontal walls, and an architectural logic that a standard piece compromises the moment it arrives. The craftsman bungalow on the Silver Lake hills has warmth and character that calls for natural fabric and considered proportions. The creative apartment near Sunset Junction and Sunset Boulevard has a buyer who knows exactly what they want and has not found a studio that will build it. No showroom addresses any of these Silver Lake briefs specifically. We build for all three.
"Silver Lake buyers understand their homes in a way that most buyers do not. They know the architecture, the light, the proportions. When they describe the sofa they need, it is always specific — and always has a specific relationship to the architecture. We build to that relationship."
— Kerri, Made By Inch

A standard sofa depth looks wrong in a mid-century room with eight-foot ceilings. Silver Lake mid-century homes — built in the 1950s on the hills above the reservoir — have lower ceilings and longer horizontal walls than any contemporary build. The sofa needs to be lower in profile, longer in span, and in a fabric that suits mid-century warmth — Belgian linen or natural cotton. We build to the exact wall span and ceiling height for the specific proportions the architecture requires.
A generic floor piece undermines the architectural character of a Silver Lake craftsman bungalow. The rooms on Micheltorena Street, Effie Street, and the streets above Rowena are proportioned differently from any modern apartment — the walls are specific, the light comes from a particular direction, and the sofa needs warmth and considered character without being heavy. Belgian linen in natural tones. A depth that invites rather than dominates. A width built to the exact wall. We build for craftsman proportions, not showroom standards.
Silver Lake apartments near Sunset Junction attract a specific buyer — design-conscious, individual, and clear about what they want. The brief is usually precise: a particular configuration that works in a specific room, a fabric that suits a specific aesthetic, a width that fits a specific wall. What they have not found is a studio that builds to that individual brief without substituting or adapting. Made By Inch builds what was specified. The brief is individual. The build is exact.

How it works
From Pier Avenue to Silver Lake.
Every sofa is built at our Hermosa Beach workshop and delivered to your Silver Lake home or apartment. The process starts with your room and which Silver Lake brief is yours: mid-century home with specific architectural proportions, craftsman bungalow with particular character, or creative apartment with an exact individual brief. Everything follows from that.
Visit the showroom at 321 Pier Avenue.
Visit our showroom at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach — take Sunset Boulevard west to the 101 freeway south, then the 110 south to PCH, then south to Hermosa Beach. From Silver Lake and Sunset Junction the drive is approximately 35 minutes. Book a private consultation with us and bring your room dimensions. If you are working with an interior designer, we can meet at the designer's studio or your Silver Lake home. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
We design your sofa for your Silver Lake room.
You take fabric samples home. You live with them in your actual Silver Lake light — the way a mid-century hillside room catches the morning from the east, the way a craftsman bungalow living room reads in the afternoon with its specific window proportions. Then we work through every detail: your exact wall length, the depth your room allows, the configuration that suits your Silver Lake home, 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 Silver Lake address — hill homes above the reservoir, craftsman bungalows on Micheltorena and Effie, and creative apartments near Sunset Junction.

Does Made By Inch build custom sofas for Silver Lake mid-century homes?
Yes. Mid-century home sofas are one of our most specific builds in the Silver Lake and Los Feliz market. We serve both Silver Lake and Los Feliz mid-century homes. Silver Lake mid-century homes have lower ceilings, longer horizontal wall spans, and a design aesthetic that requires a sofa with considered proportions — lower profile, in a fabric that suits the warmth of mid-century architecture. We build to the exact wall span, the specific depth that works with eight-foot ceilings, and the fabric that honours the architectural character of the home. Every piece built at our Hermosa Beach workshop.
Does Made By Inch deliver custom sofas to Silver Lake?

Made By Inch delivers to all Silver Lake addresses — Sunset Junction area, Silver Lake hills above the reservoir, Micheltorena Street, Effie Street, Rowena Avenue, and all residential streets throughout Silver Lake. White-glove delivery included. We also deliver to Los Feliz, Echo Park, East Hollywood, West Hollywood, and all Los Angeles. Every piece is built at our 321 Pier Avenue workshop in Hermosa Beach.
What is the best sofa fabric for a Silver Lake home?
Belgian linen is the most specified fabric for Silver Lake mid-century homes and craftsman bungalows — it has warmth, texture, and considered quality that suits the architectural character of Silver Lake homes. Natural cotton is specified for more casual Silver Lake living rooms. Performance linen offers natural linen appearance with daily-use durability — ideal for Silver Lake homes with pets or children. Natural velvet is specified for more formal Silver Lake spaces. Every fabric available as a sample at our Hermosa Beach showroom.

Made By Inch is at 321 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach — approximately 35 to 40 minutes from Silver Lake.

We can also meet at your Silver Lake home by arrangement. Call (310) 504-0896 to schedule.
How much does a custom sofa cost for a Silver Lake home?

What makes Made By Inch the right choice for Silver Lake homeowners?
Made By Inch is the only custom sofa studio specifically addressing the Silver Lake living brief — mid-century homes above the reservoir that require lower-profile builds and exact wall spans, craftsman bungalows on Micheltorena Street and Effie Street with specific architectural character, and creative apartments near Sunset Junction and Sunset Boulevard where the brief is individual.
