While we deeply understand the desire to have your DreamBox perfectly match your unique style, Create Room does not offer custom color orders directly from the manufacturer at this time. Our furniture is produced in set finishes to ensure the highest quality, durability, and timely delivery for every Creator.
The Philosophy Behind Our Finishes
Our selected finishes-Ergo White, Shaker White, and Gray Shaker-are the result of extensive research into what works best in real crafting spaces. We consider not only aesthetics but also how a finish affects the crafting experience. Lighter colors, for example, help reflect light within the cabinet, making it easier to see your supplies and projects. These finishes are designed to be timeless, ensuring your DreamBox remains a centerpiece you love for years.
How to Infuse Your Personal Style
Since custom colors aren't an option, the true magic of personalization happens inside and around your DreamBox. This approach aligns with a core insight from our community: 70% of owners say it’s important that the exterior design expresses their style. Here’s how you can achieve that:
- Leverage the "Canvas" of the Interior: The inside of your DreamBox is your blank slate. The colors of your InView™ Totes, tools, fabrics, and paper stacks create a vibrant, personalized gallery that is uniquely you when the doors are open.
- Accessorize the Exterior: Think of the exterior cabinet as a foundation. You can express your style by adding a custom vinyl decal, styling the top with plants or art, or incorporating a colorful rug or chair nearby.
- Consider the DreamBox Crown: For a functional and beautiful upgrade, 68% of owners add the DreamBox Crown with LED lighting. While 90% value the light most, the Crown itself adds a finished, furniture-grade detail that elevates the entire piece.
A Nod to History: The "Secretary Desk" Precedent
Your DreamBox is a modern heir to the historic secretary desk-a piece designed to close away the tools of a trade to maintain a tidy living space. These antique pieces were rarely custom-colored by the cabinetmaker. Instead, their owners personalized them with curated objects on top and the organized chaos of meaningful items within. Your DreamBox follows this brilliant tradition: a serene exterior that guards a deeply personal and expressive interior world.
Practical Tips for a Custom Feel
Here are some actionable ideas to make your space uniquely yours:
- Use Your Walls: Paint the wall behind your DreamBox an accent color or create a themed gallery wall.
- Focus on Adjustable Features: Reconfigure shelves and totes to change the interior visual landscape. This dynamic flexibility is a form of personalization a static custom color could not offer.
- Join the Community: Browse our "Create Room Family" Facebook group. You’ll find countless examples of how Creators have styled their spaces in utterly unique ways without a single drop of custom paint from our factory.
The Heart of the Matter
While we cannot dip into custom paint pots for each order, we built the entire system to be the ultimate customizable organizing tool. The true color of your DreamBox comes from the life and creativity you store inside it. We focus on providing the durable, beautiful framework so you can focus on filling it with what you love.
