Custom Furniture: The Sustainable Choice for Dhaka’s Eco-Conscious Homeowners

In Dhaka’s rapidly urbanizing landscape-where luxury apartments in Gulshan coexist with compact flats in Uttara-custom furniture has emerged as a powerful tool for sustainable living. Amar Ghor BD, Dhaka’s premier interior design and furniture studio, combines traditional craftsmanship with eco-conscious innovation to create pieces that reduce environmental impact while enhancing property value. This guide explores how bespoke furniture addresses Dhaka’s unique challenges, from humidity-resistant designs to space optimization in the city’s diverse neighborhoods.

Why Custom Furniture Outshines Mass Production in Sustainability

1. Material Efficiency & Waste Reduction

Custom furniture minimizes waste through precise measurements and material optimization. Unlike mass-produced items that generate 12-15% scrap wood, Amar Ghor BD’s process repurposes 98% of materials. For a typical Dhanmondi apartment project:

Reclaimed Wood Usage: 70% of timber sourced from dismantled Dhaka warehouses
Bamboo Integration: Rapidly renewable bamboo for shelves and accent walls
Smart Eco Wood: Waterproof, low-maintenance alternative for balconies and kitchens

Case Study: A Banani penthouse project used 100% reclaimed shegun wood, diverting 1.2 tons of material from landfills.

2. Climate-Adaptive Designs for Dhaka’s Environment

Humidity Resistance

Our workshops use:

Marine-Grade Finishes: Withstand 79% average monsoon humidity
Breathable Joinery: Expansion gaps in Gulshan dining tables prevent warping
Anti-Mold Treatments: Neem oil-infused coatings for Dhanmondi’s older homes

Space Optimization

Vertical Storage Units: Add 30% capacity without expanding footprints
