Furniture 101 – Couches, Loveseats, etc!
February 26, 2015
If you’ve just recently made a big move, you’re likely looking for a few furniture pieces for the new home. Here’s a few tips to get you started thinking about the perfect couch or loveseat.
Be sure to measure your room and find pieces the right size. How big is the room to start with? And exactly how much of a focal point do you want the piece of furniture to be? Also, think about the other pieces of furniture you’d like to have in the room. Will there be a coffee or end table? Other chairs, bookshelves, or floor lamps? Knowing the layout of your room before you go hunting for a new couch is key. That will help narrow your options, and decrease the chances that you dislike it when you get it all set up at home.
Color is key, but don’t forget to keep it flexible. A couch or a loveseat is going to make a huge splash in your room in terms of color. So, choose wisely! If price isn’t an issue, you might get risky and choose a bold accent color. But remember, you’ll more than likely want to use this piece in a different room some day. So keeping it to more neutral colors is more practical.
Consider the upholstery. If you’ve got younger children or pets around, then fabric or suede furniture is going to be a bad idea. Leather, on the other hand, is sturdy and comparatively resistant to stains. But you’ve got other things to consider. Most folks would say that a leather sofa isn’t nearly as relaxing, compared to a fabric sofa.
