Choosing the right furniture may not be as easy as it sounds. Every room has it’s own purpose and function. That’s why you need to think carefully and wisely before buying furniture for it, so that you won’t find yourself later, wishing that you had bought other bed or sofa instead of those you own now.
Choosing Your Living Room Furniture
Your Living Room is a place where you spend your time with your family and sometimes with your relatives or close friends. This is the function of your Living Room. Furniture of this room usually consists of a set of sofa, chairs, decorated accent pillows, coffee table, end table, and sometimes for decoration, people add rug, floor and table lamps, also some wall arts.
- The first important factor to be considered is your lifestyle. Do you live alone? Do you have small children? Do you have pets? What is the key style of your entire house? How much budget do you plan to spend?
- In choosing your sofa, function and aesthetics require equal consideration. You may want to choose the one with beautiful look. But carefully examine the materials. Make sure the surface is easy to be cleaned, and the construction is sturdy, and that the sofa is ergonomically comfortable. The arm should not be too high, and the seat should be soft but firm so you would not ‘sink’ in it.
Sofa is the center object of attention of the Living Room. Most people want it to look inviting as one enters the room. That’s why harmony is important. If your rug already has busy motifs, then you may want to choose sofa and chairs with more neutral colors. If you carry clean and simple contemporary style for your home, then you can choose striking color contemporary sofa against grey toned-walls, for example. Although it is safer to choose furniture with safe colors that is easy to work with. That way you will be able to do a room facelift just by changing out small items, like pillows, ornaments, and wall art.
Choosing Your Bedroom Furniture
As mentioned in earlier post, bedroom is a retreat place where you spend time to relax and to have some rest. This room is supposed to give you a ‘homey’ feeling. The keyword is: Comfort.
- Choose sturdy yet comfortable bed. Use high quality bed from high quality brand. No compromise on cheap bad quality bed.
- Choose the right size bed. Examine the size of your room and what other furniture you will need.
- What other activities you usually do in your bedroom besides sleeping? You may want to complete your room with other equipment to support those activities. If you are the kind of person who cannot live far from television, you may be interested in choosing bedroom furniture set that features a TV stand.
Choosing Your Office Furniture
Choosing office furniture is extremely different from choosing furniture for your home. Good office furniture must add practical value to corporate process flow. It must be able to create an efficient working space with a supportive working environment.
- Choose compact furniture that can support many tasks but doesn’t require large space.
- In selecting chairs, think that people spend 6-8 hours a day sitting on it. Uncomfortable chairs will lead to unhealthy body and morale of the employee. You may find that extra money you spend in buying ergonomic seating is worth a company success. New office chairs from major furniture manufacturers offer options in low-back, mid-back, and high-back designs. These chairs also include a number of user-friendly adjustment controls that adjust pneumatic lift, swivel, and armrests.
- For storage or filing cabinets, choose ones that have the ability to lock the cabinets and ensure that they have safety features such as only opening on top if the bottom is already open to prevent toppling. There are two choices of materials: wood and metal. Many people prefer metal storage since it has a more modern look, lighter in weight so it can be easily moved whenever necessary.
- For conference room, choose durable, high quality furniture that symbolizes strength, integrity and unity of your team.
- As for colors, usually people use their corporate color as the main color of the office furniture.
Happy shopping!
