Tips for Furnishing Your Home:

Living Room Furniture Living Room is usually considered as the heart of every home. This is where family members get together and spend time together after a busy day. Given this fact, it is important that the living room furniture design be patterned on the personality and style of the owners. Moreover, different pieces of furniture are the best elements to materialize these concepts. How to do this? Coffee Tables:  By definition, coffee tables are usually put in the center of a living room. Functional and attractive living room furniture design for coffee tables would entail a design with clean, simple lines in solid wood. This will cope best with natural wear and tear. For a busy and crowded home avoid glass coffee tables that need constant wiping - unless you enjoy cleaning! Rather than choosing an open-shelf coffee table, buy one with built-in drawers to store magazines and keep clutter out of sight. There is less to dust too:) Sofa: Quality sofas are those that have simple back cushions and plain scroll arms. These types of sofas will work best for families and are great pieces in the living room. This simple design will make the items fit for any theme and for any generation all through the years. Functional sofas should let your feet be able to touch the ground when you are sitting normally. Hence, when choosing sofas, it is best that you check the seat height and see if it is correct. If it is too high, ask to try different seat cushions. Always mesure your space and check the sofa size before ordering the living room furniture! Sofas tend to look smaller in the big furniture showrooms. Accent chair:  In getting accent chairs, make sure that the chair has a solid wooden construction and is well upholstered. After all, nobody would want to have lumpy cushions. Right? Also, your accent chairs need not much your sofa, although it is important to upholster it in a complementary fabric or one that picks up other colors around the wall or curtains. Accent chairs tend not to have a removable covers so choose a fabric that is easy to keep clean. For your rebellious streak, indulge in a classic chaise lounge.

Beds - General Information and TIPS:

BEDROOM Furniture Bed Design The construction of a basic bed is simple. It has a head board on one end, foot board on the other. In between is the frame whereon the mattress fits. Depending on your taste, you can opt for anything from low-slung platform beds with an Oriental touch, to regular beds with much classy color and finish options. It is good to keep in touch the kind of scheming you plan to have with your bed. Then there are futons, day beds and trundle beds that make a great combination of utility and style. Bed Sizes When furnishing a bedroom in a home, it is of great importance to ask some questions: Who will sleep in the bed? What is the size of your bedroom? Take into account the number of people and the size of the person/s. Master beds are the largest, followed by King-size beds (California King Size Bed and Standard King Size Bed ), Queen beds, Full beds and Twin beds. The dimensions of each size bed are as follows: California king bed: 72 inches wide x 84 inches long King bed: 76 inches wide x 80 inches long Queen bed: 60 inches wide x 80 inches long Full bed (or double bed): 54 inches wide x 75 inches long Twin bed: 39 inches wide x 75 inches long (80 inches for extra long twin beds) Bed Construction Wood is the most common material used in bed construction. The advantages are sturdiness, longevity and easy maintenance of the bed. However, other material like powder-coated steel and brass are popular for its robustness and sleek features. Depending on your lifestyle, you can choose one that suits your taste and practical needs of your home. You don't want a bulky platform bed when you keep shifting places more often. Something neat and handy, which can be assembled and dissembled easily, may be the best choice. So assess your need, first. Night Stands and Bedroom Dressers Nightstands may be a tricky thing to choose. Especially if you have a designer bed, teaming up a pair of nightstands with other furniture and the overall theme of the bedroom may be difficult. But you can always get suites that come with complementing nightstands, armories, dressing tables and mirrors. If you already have a bed, then you can opt for a design that is either the same color/finish as the bed or something complementing that fits with other furniture items in your bedroom. Wardrobe/ Armoire A Wardrobe or Armoire is one of the most important features in the bedroom. Depending on the number of people, the armoire should be combination of functionality and space, with drawers, hanging bars and other units you desire. Classic wooden armoires are popular, so are glass and wood wardrobes that look modern. Make sure you check the door dimensions of your bedroom to make moving the armoire easy. Dressers, Mirrors and Chests Know the story of the cluttered drawers and closets? If you practically estimate the kind of space you need on daily basis, you can round up on a sensible dresser with spacey drawers and a complimenting mirror. Roomy drawers also allow more air and help with the uncluttered space we all so much crave for. While chests are vertical, dressers are wide and horizontally inclined. Do not forget to check the dimensions carefully ifr you need space to move around the bedroom. |HOME|
