Decorating and furnishing your home is an exciting task, but many people get overwhelmed with the sheer choice on offer and how to best utilise their space. When facing the choice of furniture for your home, getting a specific style completely suited to your needs and your lifestyle can be quite complicated. The sofa you had your heart set on may be too big for your living room, you might need more storage, you may need to consider children and pets running around the house, or perhaps what you wanted is simply out of your budget.
We have some great tips for choosing furniture for your home and what you need to consider before making any deicions.
Before you even start looking for furniture, you should step back and think about your true style, your way of life and what makes you feel most comfortable. Your decisions shouldn’t be based on fashions or trends, as this will most likely cause you to quickly get bored with what you have purchased, or it will look dated after a short amount of time. Focus on items that are timeless and well-suited to your lifestyle, family, tastes, and requirements.
Many of us find it difficult to really know what our style is, and the first thing you need to do is get inspired. A good idea is to create a mood board of different finishes, materials, colour palettes and shapes and, although this can take some time, you will have a clear understanding of the look you want to create.
Do you use the living room as a place to relax and unwind, meaning you will need comfortable sofas and armchairs to sink into? Do you use your dining area solely for family meals or do you regularly hold dinners with friends where more seating space will be required? Do you need outdoor seating to make the most of the warm Costa del Sol sun while dining al fresco or taking a dip in the pool? These are the kind of questions that need to be asked when considering the furniture you will purchase.
Consider what activities you carry out in the spaces you are furnishing and how many hours you dedicate to each one. Your house must adapt to you, and not you to it.
There is nothing worse than buying your dream items of furniture, only to find they won’t fit or don’t look right in the space. It is essential to make sure the proportions are correct.
Take the measurements of the space to be furnished and represent it in a drawing. An easy and intuitive way to organise furniture in space is to cut pieces of paper or use masking tape with the measurements of the furniture you like and test the dimensions in the room directly. In addition to checking sizes and proportions, you can play with different locations of the pieces until you find the most appropriate and that best optimises the space.
Your furniture must be in harmony with the finishings and colour tones of the space. This means you will need to consider the colour of the walls, ceiling and floors, the tones of the wood you would like to use, and the finishes you are planning on adding.
If you have a neutral space with soft and light tones and continuous floors, or wood, you can combine styles and colours without fear. But if the space has flooring with a lot of colour and visual weight, for example, you will have to look for lighter furniture that does not interrupt the visual effect and detract from it. In this case, raised furniture with legs and light metal or wooden structures will help to achieve this.
Interior design companies and furniture shops will be able to advise you on all of these points, helping to make the journey a stress-free one.
