"Bought a beautiful couch from Inch β the process was so easy. Kerri was amazing at helping me decide on the style, fabric, and cushion type. The choices can feel overwhelming, but she quickly understood what I was looking for."
Hermosa Beach, California
Made By Inch builds custom sofas for Culver City buyers who have been to the Helms Bakery District, found impressive furniture, and discovered that nothing in any showroom was built for the specific room they actually live in.
Handcrafted in Hermosa Beach Β· Delivered to Culver City
Helms has the showrooms. We have the build.
You have been to the Helms Bakery District. You found impressive furniture. None of it was built for your specific Culver City room β the apartment on Washington with the 11-foot wall, the Culver Crest family home where the sofa needs to work for real life, or the design-forward brief that requires exact execution. Made By Inch builds for all of them, starting with which one is yours.
"Culver City has changed a lot in the last ten years. The buyers have changed too β more design-conscious, more specific about what they want. What has not changed is that the showrooms still sell standard sizes. We build to your size. "

The Culver City home
The apartment brief. The family home brief. We build for both.
Helms Bakery District is one of the best furniture and design destinations in Los Angeles. The showrooms are considered, the pieces are well-made, and none of them were built for the specific room you are furnishing. Culver City has two distinct living briefs that no showroom addresses specifically: the apartment or condo buyer whose room has exact constraints β an 11-foot wall, a configuration that must work around fixed architecture β and the family home buyer in Culver Crest or Blair Hills who needs a sofa built for how a family actually lives, not how a showroom floor is styled. Two completely different briefs. One studio that builds for both. Starting with which one is yours.
"The Helms showrooms show you what well-made looks like. What they cannot show you is what fits your room. That gap is exactly what we fill. "

Accepting Culver City consultations this week Β· We respond within 2 hours
Culver City apartments β along Washington Boulevard, near the Helms District, and in downtown Culver City β often have rooms with exact constraints. A wall that is 10 feet 8 inches does not fit a standard 90-inch sofa without compromise. A room that functions as living room and home office needs a configuration built for both. We build to the exact centimetre of your Culver City apartment β the width confirmed to your floor plan, the depth set to the maximum the room allows. White-glove delivery includes elevator access and building entryways.
Belgian linen for the design-conscious family. Performance velvet for the practical one. Performance linen blend for both. Culver Crest and Blair Hills family homes need a sofa that handles real family life without looking like it does β generous proportions, durable fabric, a configuration that works for movie nights, homework, and weekend mornings alike. We build to the specific room, not to a showroom idea of what a family room should look like.
Many Culver City buyers have a specific aesthetic shaped by time spent at Helms, in Venice, or working in the creative industries that call Culver City home. The brief is often precise: a particular Belgian linen, a specific configuration, a depth that works with a room they have already designed around everything except the sofa. Made By Inch builds to that specification. The piece that arrives is the piece that was specified β no substitutions, no floor-stock alternatives.

How it works
From Pier Avenue to Culver City.
Every sofa is built at our Hermosa Beach workshop and delivered to your Culver City home or apartment. The process starts with your room β the wall length, the depth the space allows, and which Culver City living brief yours is: apartment with exact constraints, family home that needs to work for real life, or design-forward brief that requires exact execution.
Visit the showroom at 321 Pier Avenue.
Visit our showroom at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach β take Washington Boulevard west to Lincoln Boulevard, then south to PCH. From the Helms District the drive is approximately 25 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 at your Culver City home. Walk-ins welcome Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
We design your sofa for your Culver room.
You take fabric samples home. You live with them in your actual Culver City light β the way a Culver Crest family room reads in the afternoon, the way a Helms District apartment catches the morning east of Washington. Then we works through every detail: your exact wall length, the depth your room allows, the configuration that suits your brief, 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 Culver City address β apartments including elevator access, family homes in Culver Crest and Blair Hills, and design-forward properties throughout the city. The piece that arrives is exactly the piece specified. For Culver City projects managed through an interior designer, we coordinate delivery around the project installation date.
The apartment. The family home. We build for both.
Book a consultation at 321 Pier Avenue and our first question will be about your Culver City room β apartment or family home, the wall length, and what the sofa needs to do. We will walk you through every fabric and send you home with samples. The drive from Culver City is approximately 25 minutes via Washington to Lincoln south. We can also meet at your Culver City home.

What Culver City and West LA clients say.
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

Does Made By Inch build custom sofas for Culver City apartments?
Yes. Culver City apartment and condo sofas are one of our most requested builds on the West Side. Apartments near the Helms District, along Washington Boulevard, and in downtown Culver City often have specific room constraints: a wall that is exactly 10 or 11 feet, a room that functions as living room and home office, or a configuration that works around fixed architecture. We build to the exact dimension β width, depth, and configuration confirmed to your floor plan. White-glove delivery includes elevator access and apartment entryways.
Does Made By Inch deliver custom sofas to Culver City?

Made By Inch delivers custom sofas and sectionals to all Culver City addresses β Helms Bakery District, downtown Culver City, Culver Crest, Blair Hills, Palms neighbourhood, and Washington Boulevard corridor apartments. White-glove delivery is included with every order. We also deliver to Venice, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and all West Los Angeles. Every piece is built at our 321 Pier Avenue workshop in Hermosa Beach.
What is the best sofa fabric for a Culver City home?
Belgian linen is the most specified fabric for design-conscious Culver City homes and Helms District-area apartments β natural texture, warmth, and a quality that improves with age. Performance velvet is the most popular choice for Culver City family homes with children or pets β handles daily use without looking like it does. Performance linen offers the appearance of Belgian linen with the durability of a performance fabric β ideal for Culver City apartment buyers who want both. Every fabric is available as a sample at our Hermosa Beach showroom.
How far is the Made By Inch showroom from Culver City?
Made By Inch is at 321 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach β approximately 20 to 30 minutes from Culver City. From the Helms Bakery District and downtown Culver City, take Washington Boulevard west to Lincoln Boulevard south to PCH. From Culver Crest and Blair Hills, take Jefferson Boulevard west to Lincoln, then south. Washington to Lincoln to PCH is the most direct route from central Culver City. We can also meet at your Culver City home by arrangement. Call (310) 504-0896 to schedule.
How much does a custom sofa cost for a Culver City home?
Custom sofas from Made By Inch are competitively priced with premium furniture retailers β without retail markup. Many Culver City buyers find a handcrafted Made By Inch sofa costs the same or less than a comparable piece from the Helms Bakery District showrooms or RH, and is built to their exact room rather than a standard size. For apartment buyers especially, the value is significant β a sofa built to their exact wall is worth more in a compact Culver City room than a floor piece that almost fits. Book a free consultation for an exact quote.
What makes Made By Inch the right choice for Culver City buyers?
Made By Inch is the only custom sofa studio serving Culver City with handcrafted pieces built to exact room dimensions, confirmed lead times in writing, and white-glove delivery. The Helms Bakery District has impressive showrooms β but nothing built for the specific room you are furnishing. Whether the brief is a Helms District or Washington Boulevard apartment with an exact wall constraint, a Culver Crest or Blair Hills family home, a Palms neighbourhood property, or a design-forward brief with exact specification requirements β Made By Inch builds for all of them. Lead times confirmed. Lifetime warranty. We works with every Culver City client directly.
