Furniture must have personality, as well as be beautiful.
Rose Tarlow, Interior Designer
First thing to consider before you start looking for a specific piece of furniture, is to choose an appropriate theme that will match your taste and will make your house look cohesive. You need to ask yourself do you like metallic and angular finishes, or cozy and naturalistic feel finishes. As each theme has its own characteristics. For instance, contemporary theme contains neutral elements and bold colors, as it focuses on the basics of line, shape and form rather the modern theme which focuses clean, crisp lines, and a simple color palette as it emphasis on simplicity in every element. On the other hand neoclassic theme is simple but symmetrical, it consists on geometric lines and patterns on moldings and features. Therefore, you have to choose which style you prefer more, by doing so, it will be easier for you to select the right piece of furniture for you home which will compliment both your interior and the other furniture in your house.
Moreover, it is crucial to choose the appropriate shade and color tone of each piece of furniture which will match the theme you ought to create. As colors create a certain vibe and mood which will affect your home style. You need to look for what best represents you. Do you like fun striking shades or pacifying tones that will be conducive to relaxation? Do you prefer bright, positive tones or you favor neutral earth tones to express a calming aura and charm. You need to make sure that every piece of furniture in your home complements and match each other and the aesthetic look for your home.
Furthermore, after selecting the appropriate theme and color that will match your interior, you should consider both the size and the functionality of the chosen piece of furniture. You should put under consideration your space’s size. For example, having a set of furniture in small space is inconvenient and might make your interior look messy and crowded, on the other hand not to have enough pieces of furniture in a bigger space might make your room appear empty. Therefore, the ideal solution is to select the appropriate furniture depending on your interior’s needs and requirement. Also, you should look for a piece of furniture that is multifunctional and can be used for different purposes. For instance, pick a table which can be used for living room but also to have spacious space for storage, or look for a dressing table which can function as a writing desk as well.
Last but not least, the most important factor to consider while you are looking for a piece of furniture is its materials and from what it’s made of, and how long that piece will survive with you. For instance, solid wood is lightweight, strong and durable, and it can last longer than a lifetime. Also, it looks attractive in any space and provides a luxury appearance as well. Moreover, you should consider the furniture’s fabric and upholstery before carrying out any major furniture purchase so that you get a furniture item that best fits your space. For example, you should think of choosing fabrics that are easily washable, stain resistance, durable and can stand the test of time. Such as leather, which is easy to clean, holds up well over time and comes in a variety of colors, finishes and textures that delivers on personalized visual appeal.
