The choice of furniture and its purchase is an important and expensive event. It requires some preparation. The biggest problems arise when choosing a set of furniture for the entire room – living room, bedroom, nursery, or study. There are multiple stores and online outlets where you can find the best.
How to choose good furniture for an entire apartment or a single room? What factors must be taken into account, and which can be neglected? Let’s figure out these issues.
Choose Furniture That Suits Your Budget
Your choice of furniture can limit the amount you plan to spend on a purchase. If your budget is small, then it is worth focusing on models from laminated chipboard and MDF. If you are not constrained in funds, you can consider options from solid natural wood, possibly with forged details. The most expensive furniture is made of a metal rod by hot hand forging. Models made on special cold bending machines are much cheaper. Furniture sets can be produced serially or according to individual order. The second option is more expensive.
Decide on a Color Scheme
The most rational solution is to choose a neutral color for the furniture. This option allows you to change the walls and ceiling design, leaving the very furnishings the same.
For lovers of bright interiors:
- For light walls, floors, ceilings, you can choose a set of dark colors – walnut, wenge, mahogany, dark oak.
- Furniture items made of light oak, alder, or beech look beautiful against a dark background.
- For an interior with surfaces in neutral colors, you can choose upholstered furniture with bright upholstery, which will be in harmony with curtains and blinds, movable partitions, and other interior textiles.
When choosing a furniture set, the main mistakes are boring monochromatic interior design and dark bulky objects in a small room.
Choose the Right Furniture Depending on Its Purpose
Determine what functions each item in the room should perform. Depending on what kind of things you plan to store in the closets, think over their filling – bars with space for hanging short and long things, shelves, drawers. To save space, you can choose coffee tables or banquets with closed storage areas. If you have many souvenirs, pay attention to whatnots, open hinged, and side shelves.
Decide in Advance on the Size of the Furniture
If you visit a store and liked the headset, do not rush to pay for your purchase. Go back home and draw a room plan on checkerboard paper at a scale of 1:20 or whatever is convenient for you.
Cut out headset items or individual modules from paper on the same scale and lay them out on the plan. See how much space is left for movement, create several types of placement. Perhaps you will understand that you need a different option and need to remove some items or, conversely, add. Do not forget to choose the right material for your furniture.…
