"As an interior designer, Kerri at Made By Inch is the definition of customer service. She goes above and beyond, and delivers the most beautiful, high-quality sofas around. Knowing my clients are in expert hands is invaluable."

Interior Designer Β· South Bay, Los Angeles
When a supplier fails, it is your reputation on the line. Not theirs.
You specify the sofa. You recommend the supplier. You manage the client's expectations. When the delivery is late, the fabric is wrong, or no one returns your call during production β your client does not blame the supplier. They call you. Every interior designer in Los Angeles has been in that position. After it happens once, finding a supplier you can trust is the only furniture decision that matters.
"Almost right is not good enough when you live with it every day. A sofa built to the centimetre for your specific apartment is not a smaller version of a real sofa. It is the right sofa."

What interior designers experience with other custom furniture suppliers
The sofa arrives three weeks after the installation date. The client's home is already finished. The timing is wrong and the designer is responsible for managing the fallout.
Made By Inch β Lead time confirmed in writing at order. Not an estimate.
The designer chases for production status. The supplier is not available. The client asks for an update and the designer has nothing to give them. Their credibility is diminished by a supplier they recommended.
Made By Inch β Proactive production updates. You never need to chase.
The fabric arrives and it is the wrong weight. The foam fill is different from the sample. A small change was made in production without approval. The designer is accountable for a decision they did not make.
Made By Inch β No changes without written sign-off from the designer. Ever.
The sofa arrives while other contractors are still on site. Or before the flooring is down. Or on a day the client is not available. The installation becomes a problem the designer has to resolve on the day.
Made By Inch β Delivery coordinated with the designer. We deliver when you tell us to.
The Made By Inch trade programme
Built around the way interior designers actually work.
Not an afterthought. Every element of the Made By Inch trade programme was built around the specific needs of Los Angeles interior designers managing projects across Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and the Westside.
Every lead time is confirmed in writing at the time of order β not as an estimate, but as a commitment. 4 to 6 weeks from fabric sign-off to white-glove delivery. If something changes, you hear from us before your client does.
Written confirmation on every order
You have a direct line to us throughout production. No account managers. No customer service queue. No chasing. Production updates are sent proactively at each milestone β fabric cut, frame built, upholstered, QC passed, delivery scheduled. You always know where the piece is.
Direct contact on every order
Full fabric library available for client presentations. Memo samples sent to your studio or the client's home. Every fabric available in the consumer range is available for trade specification β plus additional materials available exclusively through the trade programme.
Full sampling for client presentations
Bring your clients to our Hermosa Beach showroom for a private consultation outside standard hours. We work directly with you and your client β presenting fabric options, discussing configuration, and confirming specifications so your client makes the decision with full information.
Private appointments available
Trade accounts receive consistent pricing on every order β no negotiation, no variation between projects. Made By Inch is competitively priced with premium furniture retailers without retail markup. Contact us to discuss trade rates for your practice.
Consistent trade pricing from order one

Coordinated with project schedule
Every cost confirmed before work begins. No changes to pricing after sign-off.
Nothing changes in production without written sign-off. Every detail as agreed.
Frame and construction warranted for life. Your clients are protected after the project closes.

You never have to chase Made By Inch for anything.
At Made By Inch, communication is not a service level β it is the production process. Every milestone has a corresponding outbound message. You are never waiting for an update because the update is already on its way before you think to ask for it.

How the trade relationship works
From first project to long-term trade partner.
Most designers who specify Made By Inch for one project specify us for every subsequent project. Here is how the first project typically unfolds.
Register for a trade account.
Submit your trade enquiry and we will reach out within 2 hours. The first conversation is about your practice β the types of projects you work on, the clients you serve across Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and the Westside, and whether Made By Inch is the right fit for your workflow. If the fit is right, your trade account is set up immediately.
Specify for your first project.
Once your trade account is active, we discuss your first project in detail β room dimensions, client preferences, fabric shortlist, configuration options. Memo samples are dispatched to your studio or directly to the client. You present options at your client consultation. We are available to join if the client needs to meet the maker before committing.
We build, deliver, and follow up.
Production runs to the confirmed lead time. You receive proactive updates at each milestone. The completed piece is photographed and sent to you before delivery. White-glove installation is coordinated around your project schedule. After delivery, we follow up directly to confirm everything is as specified.

Your clients trust you. Trust Made By Inch with that.

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
