Get ready to learn — How to choose the right furniture for the home?
Select a topic
You certainly had a theme in mind when designing your home. If not, find a theme first. Favorite options for a theme might be:
- Close to nature
- All white
- Traditional
- Vintage
- Modern
- Informal
- Hardworking
- Tech savvy
- Artistic
- Dark etc.
Your interior design of floor, walls, ceiling and hardware must be in harmony with your furniture. Just analyze what theme would suit you and complete it.
Analyze the interior space
Measure the rooms, including the doors, and come up with a floor plan. Don’t forget to measure the size of the wall. Make sure the width and length of the wall is greater than the width of the furniture. And if the walls are curved, the furniture should complement its shape. When laying out the floor plan, leave an 18-inch space on each side of the wall. This space offers a comfortable space for walking around, so people don’t have to move things around or squeeze through spaces to find their way.
Plan
This section will be the longest, so please read it carefully. The size and placement of your furniture can make your room look stuffed or spacious. Planning is a crucial step from now on as you wouldn’t want to spend money on furniture that won’t fit.
Consider the following factors to determine the range of furniture you need. Consider the direction the door opens, the location of your air conditioners, and the dimensions of each room. No furniture should block other attractive features in your room, such as a fireplace or any unique decor.
Each area of the home has its own function and therefore has its own furniture requirements. Your activities divide and organize domestic spaces. For example, dining room to eat, bedroom to sleep, study room to study and so on. Specify different types of furniture according to the room and requirements.
If you have enough space, you can play around with the arrangement, but in compact houses be more careful about the size, color and shape of the furniture. For your living room, place a similar arrangement with the bed in the bedroom and the desk in the study. Sectional sofas can act as dividers for the open spaces of the home, while accent chairs like The Scottish Plaid Accent Lounge Chair and a round side table like The Yin-Yang Coffee Table — Small (Stainless Steel) can be placed in the corners.
The dimensions of your bedroom will determine the size of your bed. Think about the bedside tables, their height and width and what shape will work best; Proceed in the same way when choosing wardrobes and cupboards — no matter how big or small.
Think home decor. Place the Roman Rectangle Marble Coffee Table — ROSE GOLD
in front of a sofa bed, bedroom bedside table, The Square Piped Double Decker Console table under the TV or entryway and experience what a beautiful display of home decor and functionality they offer. But that is completely subjective. Some individuals don’t like bedside tables, instead they opt for shelves where they can keep their collectibles, magazines, books, fiction and so on.
Plan your furniture according to the interior space, according to your own choice and according to your personality.
Focus on the basics first
Now that you’ve planned your layout and know your type, it’s time to budget and prioritize. Invest the most in the furniture you need the most. If your house is often full of guests, invest nicely in a larger sectional sofa to accommodate them. If this is not the case, a smaller one will do — a sofa just for you — cozy and comfortable. Similarly for other rooms and furniture.
Choose a trusted store, either offline or online, that offers trendy pieces that won’t break too much of your budget, such as “Dekor Company.” Don’t get distracted by furniture you don’t need. Just stick to the plan. If you’re shopping online, use the filters to narrow your search based on measurements, colors, and the budget you’ve set aside for your project. Because impulse buys are a huge no-no.
The same applies if you shop in a store. Take a measuring tape and room measurements with you so you can measure the furniture correctly. Usually seeing furniture in big open stores can be deceiving and can fool you — things are often bigger than they look!
Furniture material and brand
If you want long-lasting furniture, it must be made of strong and durable solid wood. Fiberboard and medium density chipboard materials are less durable. For fabric, consider comfort and exterior. A mid-century modern sofa bed is ideal for those looking for comfort, luxury and quality materials.
Do you have children and pets? If the answer to this question is yes, then get furniture with fabrics that are easy to wash and stain resistant, while not reducing the quality of the material.
Try it out
This only applies if you are in an offline store.
Try everything before you buy. Try all the different mattresses, sit on all the chairs and check if the dining table is comfortable. Request upholstery fabric samples. Can you see yourself watching a movie from that couch?
This is the best way to decide if the product is right for you and allows you to compare it with others.
Free accents
Even after purchasing anchor furniture, are you missing something? This is accent furniture. Accent furniture includes an accent table, an armchair like The Italian Pleated Accent lounge Chair, an accent sofa, a nightstand, a console table, an accent storage cabinet, and sofas like The Parisian Blue Velvet Round Ottoman. These accents will provide additional seating and storage space without taking up much floor space. In addition, they even fill vacancies in large houses, if there are any. For example, place a lounge chair in the corner and make it a setting for reading books.
But shopping for accent furniture can be a tricky task. Make sure the accent furniture you choose matches the existing furniture and other home decor items online in the house. Even the ones you buy should complement each other. For example, the coffee table, individual armchairs and sofas should look like a unit in the living room to make it seem more together.
Accessorization
Just like how you decorate yourself, even after wearing designer clothes to look more modern, complementing your furniture is important. Furniture accessories include upholstery, cushions, bedding, cushions, rugs, tableware (lamps, display items, candle holders, homeware), floor lamps and even wall art.
