The living room is one of the most loved and lived area in
the house. It is the part of the home where the family members and friends gather
around for conversations and for entertainment. It is also the area where
visitors are entertained when they come to meet us. Generally the room is
located at the entrance part of the house. Therefore, it is the first area that
people see. So, it is very important to make your living room look good because
it shows what kind of personality you have. Whatever design style you like, you
should be able to effectively choose the living room furniture that is
comfortable for your family and your guests and which respects your
personality.
While choosing the livingroom furniture following points should be kept in mind:
The Measurement:
Take measurement of the room. Note the length, width and the
height of the room so that you can get the actual dimension of the room. One
should also take the measurement of the doors also so that you do not purchase furniture
which cannot be moved inside your house because it is bigger than the door.
Create a Floor Plan:
Create a floor plan to determine which furniture is to be
placed where. One should leave enough space between the furniture so that
movement can be free. To get a proper hang of things you can mark the area
where you want to keep the furniture with painters tape or newspaper. While
choosing furniture for the living rooms care should be taken about how the room
will be used and how is the room's natural architecture. If the room is to be
used as a daily hangout with guests than the furniture should be sturdy and
stain resistant. There are built-in design elements in some living room that
may help you determine the type of furniture that will look best inside the
room.
To effectively choose the room furniture one should start
with the basic furniture like sofa, armchair, TV cabinet, side table, center
table and coffee table. Then you should go on and buy other furniture as per
your requirement like stools and other tables and chairs. Always look to buy
genuine and solid furniture with strong wooden frames and steel springs. They
might cost a bit more but they definitely hold up better and last longer. Always
try and Look for high-quality, stain-resistant fabrics for your furniture.
Luxurious, high-quality materials will keep you feeling more comfortable and
last longer than cheap fabrics.
Stain-resistant fabrics are especially useful if you have children,
and even if you only plan on using the space for guests since spills and stains
can happen to anyone. Always make sure that each piece of furniture in your
living room should complement one another else, your room will look chaotic and
thrown together. Try to match your furniture with your interior design theme,
if you have any, like modern or traditional. Other important thing is to buy
furniture according to the size of the home and fill the additional pieces as
the space allows.
