How to elect suitable furniture for your living room.

Selecting and arranging furniture for an area in which we spend most of our time in, sounds a tiresome task, isn’t it? The hefty thought of which colour scheme to go with, what type of sofa to select, how to go around with accessories, seems daunting. What if we tell you that there are some tips which will not only ease out the process for you, but will also bestow alluring, bespoke furniture pieces, that too in a budget? Sounds too good to be true? Well, join us on this journey as we decode some of interior designer’s deepest secrets to help you in selecting and arranging furniture for your living room.

Don’t stick to one.

These are the times of exploration and sticking to one has become a long-lost thought. Experiment with the freshness of contemporary furniture and find the right balance to blend it with the crudeness of raw furniture to stand different. Japandi – a fusion of minimal Scandinavians with calmer Japanese accents, or a completely different blend of classic European furniture with the delicacy of Middle east or Asia is what will set your living room different from all existing vocabulary of traditional living room décor.

 

Unearth the appropriate upholstery.

Fabrics are as important to living room furniture as covers are to books. Without one, there is no character, nor any form to furniture design. Though your first-hand consideration while choosing one for your living needs to aesthetics, but we cannot ignore the fact that functionality is just as important too. Remember that though leather is enduring, it does not match the look of pastel soft interiors that dictate soft toning within a loose fabric. While opulent threads of linen and silk require proper care and maintenance, wool offers easy cleaning, but might not suit tropical climates. Hence, while purchasing one for your living, consider the thread count and woven patterns of the fabric and see if it matches the traffic or presence of pets in your home.

Build a perspective.

 

Create a focus within your living room – be it a television unit or a window and organize all your furniture around it to maximize coziness and create a compact, homely feeling in your abode. Help create conversational areas, spaces where people can face each other and commute around a discussion with comfort. After all, man is a social animal and the mere sense of socialism is way greater than a beautifully carved sofa standing aloof, isn’t it?

Maintain equilibrium.

Balance is the key to interior design and in order to make a space more enticing, focus on achieving correct proportions of furniture, volumes and colour. As a thumb rule, never assemble all your chunky furniture in one part of the room and allow proper breathing space within not only carefully curated pieces but also the pop accents that need balance within neutrality for optimum visual weight.

Incorporate the legacy of tables.

 

We all do become couch potatoes once we return home from work, right. Well, to bless the couch potato in you and to not force you to get up every now and then, both side tables and coffee tables are necessary within the reach of your arm. While side tables need to be of the same height as the surrounding furniture, coffee ones can dive in a little lower to maintain

Measure it up!

Sofas and chairs often eat up the maximum percentage of the total cumulative masses of furniture items in a living room. To make things less complicated and never allow the proportion to go out of hand, it is better to decide on permutations and combinations for the measurements and figure out a size that roughly fits the designated area with the scope for a little breathing space. To help you better, try working with sketch plans and draft some legitimate layouts.alance and comfort.
