"Stopped by this cute little shop while walking to lunch on Pier Avenue. Kerri is amazing — if you're in Hermosa Beach, you must stop by."
Malibu, California
Made By Inch builds custom sofas for Malibu homeowners who know exactly what they want and will not settle for close enough.
Handcrafted in Hermosa Beach · Delivered to Malibu
A sofa built exactly for your Malibu room.
Malibu homes are specific. The proportions are larger, the light is stronger, the indoor-outdoor living is more demanding, and the standard sizes from any furniture showroom are rarely right. Made By Inch builds custom sofas from our Hermosa Beach workshop for Malibu homeowners who have measured their room, visited the showrooms, and found that nothing is quite what the room needs. We build what the room needs.
"Malibu rooms are not standard. The ocean is right there. The light is relentless. The room has a specific feeling it needs to have. A sofa that is almost right is immediately obvious."

The Malibu home
Sofas built for the room with that view.
Malibu living rooms are designed around the view. The architect placed every wall and every window for a reason — and the sofa has to honour that decision, not fight it. A piece that is three inches too deep crowds the sightline. A fabric that fades in the Pacific light looks wrong within a year. A configuration that ignores the room's proportions undermines the whole space. Malibu homes require furniture that was designed for this specific room, not adapted from something that was designed for a showroom floor.
"Every Malibu living room I have ever visited has a specific feeling it is trying to achieve. A sofa that is close but not right destroys that feeling. "
— Kerri, Made By Inch

Malibu living rooms are not small. Colony houses, Point Dume estates, and Broad Beach properties have rooms that standard sofas cannot fill correctly — the proportions are too generous, the sightlines too considered, and the architecture too specific for a piece that was built to a median dimension. We build to your wall length, your ceiling height, and the depth that works with your floor plan. No standard size is assumed.
Malibu light is relentless — full west-facing exposure for most of the afternoon. Belgian linen is the fabric that handles it — it does not fade under direct Pacific light, it breathes in the coastal air, and it becomes richer over time rather than worn. For Malibu Colony and Carbon Beach properties close to the water, performance linen blends provide the aesthetic of natural fibre with the durability coastal proximity demands. Every fabric is available as a sample before any commitment is made.
Malibu homes are built for the transition between inside and outside — sliding walls, decks that extend the living room, ocean access from the back door. The sofa needs to work within that transition, not against it. Deep enough to be genuinely comfortable. Configured to open toward the view rather than close against it. Low enough not to interrupt the sightline. We discuss this at the consultation before anything is ordered.

How it works
From Pier Avenue to Malibu.
Every sofa is built at our Hermosa Beach workshop and delivered to your Malibu home. For Malibu clients the process is often handled over two visits and a few conversations — we understand that a 30-minute drive is not something you make without a reason, so we make every visit count.
Visit the showroom at 321 Pier Avenue.
Visit our showroom at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach — 22 miles south of Malibu via PCH. Book ahead for a private consultation and bring your room dimensions. See and feel every fabric. Sit in the display sofas. For Malibu clients who prefer not to make two visits, we can send a fabric sample pack to your Malibu address before you come in — so the first visit goes directly to confirming the brief.
We design your sofa for your specific room.
You take fabric samples home. You live with them in your actual Malibu light — the way a west-facing room in Point Dume reads at 4pm, the way the Pacific light hits a Colony house in the morning. Then we work through every detail: wall length, depth, configuration, and the fabric that handles your coastal living. 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 Malibu home — coordinated around your schedule and any access requirements for Colony, PCH, or gated properties. The sofa is positioned per your floor plan and all packaging is removed. The piece that arrives is exactly the piece you specified. For projects managed through an interior designer, we coordinate delivery with them directly.
Malibu homes deserve furniture built exactly for them.
Book a consultation at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach and we will ask about your room before we say anything else — the dimensions, the view, the light, and what the room needs to feel like. We will walk you through every fabric and send you home with samples. For Malibu clients who prefer it, we can also begin the process by phone and send samples to your address before your first visit.

Does Made By Inch deliver custom sofas to Malibu homes?
Yes. Made By Inch delivers custom sofas and sectionals to homes across Malibu including Malibu Colony, Point Dume, Carbon Beach, La Costa Beach, Broad Beach, Trancas Canyon, and all PCH properties. White-glove delivery is included with every order — our team brings the sofa into your Malibu home, positions it per your floor plan, and removes all packaging. Delivery is coordinated with you around your schedule and access requirements. We build every piece at our 321 Pier Avenue workshop in Hermosa Beach.
How far is the Made By Inch showroom from Malibu?
Made By Inch is at 321 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach — approximately 22 miles south of central Malibu via Pacific Coast Highway. The drive is typically 30 to 40 minutes depending on PCH traffic. Many Malibu clients visit for an initial consultation and fabric selection, then we coordinate the remaining process by phone or a second visit. We can also send fabric samples to your Malibu address before your first visit. Call (310) 504-0896 to arrange a consultation.
What types of custom sofas does Made By Inch make for Malibu homes?
Made By Inch builds every type of custom sofa for Malibu homes — large sectionals for open-plan beach houses, U-shape configurations for bluff-top estate living rooms, straight sofas for minimalist PCH properties, modular sofas for homes that reconfigure seasonally, and bespoke pieces for specific architectural features. Malibu homes require generous proportions, natural fabrics that handle the coastal climate, and configurations that work with indoor-outdoor living. Every piece is built to your exact dimensions at our Hermosa Beach workshop.
What is the best sofa fabric for a Malibu beach house?
Belgian linen is the most specified fabric for Malibu beach houses and bluff properties — naturally breathable, resistant to the strong Pacific light, and more beautiful with age. For Malibu Colony and Carbon Beach properties close to the water, performance linen blends offer natural-fibre aesthetics with greater durability. Natural velvet is specified for Malibu estate formal living rooms. Every fabric is available as a sample before any commitment — we can post samples to your Malibu address on request.
Can Made By Inch build large sectionals for Malibu estate living rooms?
Yes. Made By Inch builds large custom sectionals for Malibu estate living rooms and open-plan beach houses — U-shape configurations up to 180 inches across, deep chaise sectionals for bluff-top properties with panoramic views, and oversized L-shapes for Malibu Colony and Broad Beach great rooms. Every section is built to the exact dimensions of the room. White-glove delivery to Malibu is coordinated with the homeowner or interior designer around the project schedule.
How much does a custom sofa cost for a Malibu home?
Custom sofas from Made By Inch are competitively priced with premium furniture retailers — without retail markup. Many Malibu buyers find a handcrafted Made By Inch sofa costs the same or less than a comparable piece from RH or a premium Los Angeles showroom, and is built to their exact room rather than adapted from a standard size. For Malibu homes with specific architectural requirements, the value of exact specification is significant. Book a free consultation for an exact quote with no obligation.
What makes Made By Inch the right choice for Malibu homeowners?
Made By Inch builds custom sofas for Malibu homeowners who want a piece exactly right for their room — not almost right. Every sofa is handcrafted at our Hermosa Beach workshop to exact room dimensions, in the specified fabric, in the configuration the architecture requires. Lead times are confirmed in writing. White-glove delivery to Malibu is included. Lifetime warranty on every piece. For Malibu projects managed through an interior designer, Kerri works within the designer's project schedule and communication requirements.
