Custom Finish Program

Sherrill Occasional offers many finish options that make it easy to customize your furniture and your home. Create a unique look by mixing finish combinations. The opportunities are limited only by your imagination. Sherrill Occasional offers three levels of finishes varying in application time and difficulty. The complexity of the finish is reflected in the terms Standard, Premium, and Artisan.

Sherrill Occasional uses the highest quality materials in all of its products. Finishes are not guaranteed to be a perfect match as each piece is finished by our Artisans’ hands. Wood, like all natural materials, has inherent disparities in color and grain pattern. There will be variation in color, texture and shading. Every finish was created for a specific wood species. Variation will occur when a finish is used on a different wood species and can change the overall look of the finish. We strive to provide an accurate representation of all finishes on our website, but due to changes in lighting, types of monitors, and photography limitations, color variation is possible.

Striping Options

Many items lend themselves to hand-striping applications, allowing you to bring out details not only of the furniture but in your surroundings as well.

Sherrill Occasional artisans are capable of hand-striping many items from our Select Collection of domestically made product, displayed in this catalog with the American flag icon. This allows you to add detail to your choice of primary custom finish and further enhance the product to make it your own. There are 11 striping colors from which to choose as shown above.

It is often apparent where an item might be striped: raised moldings, routed grooves, or incised decorative detailing. We can also hand stripe borders and edge treatments on many flat surfaces like tops, aprons, and side panels. A variety of items appear striped in the catalog providing suggested treatments.

Feel free to discuss the appropriateness of a striping application with your factory representative or one of our customer service specialists.
