Posted on Google Libby MattlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great experience with Made by Inch. Kerri was wonderful to work with and made the whole process of ordering a custom couch feel easy and personal. The couch turned out beautifully and you can really see the quality and care in the final piece. Iβm so happy with it and would definitely recommend Made by Inch to anyone looking for something custom and well made.Posted on Google Karen TangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerri was amazing to work with and the couches we got are very reasonably priced, especially since they are also environmentally friendly! She has a great sense of what will work in a space, and there were many options for fabric. We love our couches and are so happy we checked out her showroom.Posted on Google Alison CorteenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerri is such a great friendly person! She was so helpful and accommodating when I was buying my sofa and ottoman and so patient when I spent ages trying to choose fabric. The sofa and ottoman are so well made and so comfortable. Thanks Kerri!Posted on Google victoria parkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerriβs upholstery work on my sectional, bed, ottoman and side tables turned out beautifully. She has a great eye for design and style, and her attention to detail and craftsmanship truly show. Scheduling and pricing were very reasonable, and she delivered exactly as promised. The entire experience was exceptionalβI look forward to working with her again!Posted on Google Sonia BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerri is so helpful and incredibly easy to work with when looking for the perfect sofa. We are so happy with our choices which Kerri made seamless. Thank you so much Kerri!Posted on Google Debbie FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bought a little something a while back and ive been very pleased with it. Looking forward to my next purchase. I love supporting good businesses but more importantly, good people. Kerri is a kind hearted person and one of the most hardworking people i know. Everything she puts forth is quality and you can just tell she pours herself into every project. Outstanding π€©Posted on Google Lucy SalemTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh my gosh!! I cannot say enough amazing things about Made by Inch. I am not creative at all and I needed ALL the help!! The process was extremely smoothed and my couch turned out perfect! I also loved how they are so focused on sustainability and local. I would recommend them to anyone. The quality is amazing!!!Posted on Google Colleen McKinnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely love my custom sofa made by Inch. I walked into the cute shop, not even sure I wanted to buy a custom sofa, and walked out convinced that not only did I need one, but I absolutely wanted to support this business. Kerri is extremely personable, professional, insightful, and listens well. She got me everything I wanted, and it was made and arrived fast! Also there was a slight mixup on the couch feet color, and the way she handled it was extremely caring and professional. Great customer service is incredibly hard to find these days, and it was soo refreshing to work with Kerri. I got so many compliments by my holiday couch sitters too (comfort, look, etc). I could continue on and on, but suffice it to say if youβre looking for another couch, look no further, go here now!! Huge Fan Kerri, thank you!!!Posted on Google Jess MauseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weβve worked with Kerri Fennelly at Made by Inch on custom sofas for two living rooms and a sleeper sofa for my officeβand we couldnβt be happier! Kerri is incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, helping us choose the right designs and dimensions for each space. Visiting her Hermosa Beach showroom was a huge plusβitβs so helpful to see and feel the fabrics in person. We also love that everything is designed and made locally in LA. Beautiful work, great experience from start to finish!Posted on Google Alexandra ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerri was incredible to work with! We are thrilled with our couchβit is wonderful quality, and certainly feels superior to the couches weβve gotten from big box retailers over the years. Kerri was patient over a few meetings, respectful of our budget, and was able to customize to our needs. She even made herself available after hours after we had an unfortunate spill on the couch just weeks after receiving. Her guidance saved the day and I really appreciated the level of service. Highly recommend Made by Inch!Load more

The person behind every piece
The person behind Made by Inch.
Kerri moved from Ireland to Los Angeles in 2011 and has been immersed in the world of custom furniture and interior design ever since. From the bohemian, laid-back energy of Venice to the creative pulse of Culver City, the refined elegance of Beverly Hills, and the urban sophistication of Downtown LA, Kerri has woven her way through some of the city's most distinctive neighborhoods and design communities. Over more than a decade, she has honed her craft, drawn inspiration from LA's endlessly diverse aesthetic landscape, and developed a deeply personal design sensibility β one that beautifully bridges her Irish roots with the bold, sun-soaked spirit of Southern California.
Growing up in a small seaside town on the South East coast of Ireland, Kerri always felt most at home near the water. It's no surprise, then, that when it came time to put down roots of her own, she was drawn to the laid-back, coastal charm of the South Bay. With its sun-drenched beaches, tight-knit community, and relaxed way of life, the area felt like a natural fit β a place that echoed the unhurried rhythms of her childhood while offering a vibrant new backdrop for the life she was building. It's here that Kerri chose to establish her shop, and it's here that she is proudly raising her son, bringing the same warmth, care, and craftsmanship to her community that she brings to every piece she creates.

How much does a custom sofa from Made By Inch cost?
Custom sofas from Made By Inch are competitively priced with premium furniture retailers.

How long does it take to get a custom sofa?
Most orders are completed in 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation. Your exact lead time is confirmed in writing when you place your order β not an estimate, a commitment. You receive your delivery date in writing within 24 hours of placing the order, and a confirmation 48 hours before delivery.
Can you build a sofa to fit my specific apartment or room size?
Yes β this is exactly what we do. Every sofa is built to the exact dimensions of your room.

Bring your measurements to the consultation or have us meet you at your home to measure directly.
What fabrics are available? Can I see samples before ordering?
Yes. We can order fabric samples for clients to take home before deciding. Performance linen, performance velvet, natural cotton, and woven blends are all available.
