The Riviera Difference
FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Riviera Home Furniture different from other furniture stores?
We are not just a store; we are a full-service design destination. We offer a complete turnkey experience, from custom furniture design and artisan sourcing to professional home staging. Our focus on sustainable, reclaimed materials and coastal elegance ensures your home is not only beautiful but also tells a story of craftsmanship and conscious living.
Your style is described as “Coastal Elegance.”
What does that mean?
Our “Coastal Elegance” aesthetic moves beyond the typical beach theme. It captures the relaxed luxury and sun-bleached beauty of the Mediterranean and Costarican Riviera. Think light, airy spaces, natural textures like weathered wood and linen, a sophisticated neutral palette, and pieces that feel both timeless and effortlessly comfortable.
Do you only sell custom-made furniture?
Our Showroom offer a wide Collection of Imported Furniture from Indonesia and Asia… While custom-made pieces are our specialty, allowing clients to get exactly what they envision, we also have a curated collection of in-stock and made-to-order items. This flexibility ensures we can meet various timelines, budgets, and project needs.

How is Riviera Home Furniture sustainable?
Materials: We use reclaimed woods, repurposed materials, and FSC-certified new woods.
Sourcing: We ethically source from trusted partners and use locally made pieces to reduce our carbon footprint.
Longevity: We create heirloom-quality furniture designed to last for generations, countering disposable culture.
Preservation: We never use timber from endangered rainforests and support reforestation initiatives.
What are reclaimed materials, and why do you use them?
Reclaimed materials are salvaged from old structures, like barns, houses, or retired boats. We use them because each piece has a unique history, character, and patina that new wood cannot replicate. It’s the most sustainable choice, giving beautiful materials a new life and reducing the need for new resource extraction.

Why choose Riviera to furnish a model home?
We don’t just furnish spaces; we sell a lifestyle. Our model homes are designed to create an emotional connection, allowing potential buyers to instantly visualize and feel themselves living in the property. This emotional pull is what accelerates sales and maximizes value for developers.
Do you offer design services to update a home we already live in and love?
Absolutely. We specialize in thoughtful transformations that honor your story. We begin by understanding what you love most about your current space—the cherished heirlooms, the comfortable sofa, the art that speaks to you. From there, we create a design plan that introduces new, statement Riviera pieces to modernize and elevate your decor, while expertly integrating your most important existing items. Our goal is to find the perfect balance, refreshing your home’s aesthetic without losing its soul. It’s not about starting over; it’s about evolving your space into its most beautiful and functional version ye
