Here are some useful tips we can use when purchasing furniture for the living space. These tips below will guide us through the process:
- Stage our living area
“Staging” is a relatively new word that is commonly used by fashion designers, the word describing the layout and planning of our living space. If we do not stage our living room before we shop furniture, we might wind up with pieces that are too small or too big for the space we have. It is imperative that the right number of items is shopped to adequately furnish our living room or there will be too empty or too cluttered. To stage the room appropriately, we can use some painter’s tape to mark off the area where we would like to put a table, couch, loveseat, etc. we can also use blankets and pillows to help mark off these spaces. Unless our living room comes in exceptionally large space, it will just need 3 to 5 piece of living room furniture.
-Go neutral with large pieces
Many people choose furniture that offers busy designs or complicated pattern of fabric just to wish they had chosen differently. It is good to add some flavor and zest to a living space. But, the most practical way to accomplish this is to embellish with some accessories, not with the major pieces of the furniture. We need to realize that fashion changes rapidly, so we want to choose basic pieces of living room furniture that will not limit our ability to change with the times. We might want to avoid furniture that has an overly dramatic and powerful style. It is better for us to stick with neutral colors, hardware and patterns so we will have limitless accessorizing options. Let us stay with neutral fabrics, including if we want to choose leather, so we will have a basic medium to work with. And, when we purchase living room furniture, do not forget to consider quality than quantity.
