Furniture - Choice and Selection

Choosing furniture for your home can be a difficult task when you have no idea where to start. This article has been written to give you a little guidance into how to furnish your living room, bedroom, dining room, hall, study, office and conservatory - in fact, all the rooms in your home, whether you want to furnish an entire house from scratch, or simply buy a functional piece of furniture to fulfil a particular requirement.

Handy hints to help with furniture shopping

  1. If you are furnishing an entire house from scratch, choose the biggest furniture items first (eg sofas, beds, sideboards.) Once they are in position, you will see what space you have left for the smaller items such as occasional tables and lamps.
  2. Consider the age or style of your house, and buy furniture in a style in keeping with that - broadly speaking, this boils down to choosing contemporary or traditional furniture. For further information, see below.
  3. Is the item of furniture that you are going to buy fulfilling a functional role, eg a corner cabinet? If space is limited, take measurements so that you know your purchase will fit into its new home.
  4. It is helpful when you are browsing to look at a photo of the room where the new piece will be situated, to help you picture how it will fit in.

Considerations when choosing contemporary furniture

  1. Contemporary tables often feature materials such as glass, metal and stone in addition to wood.
  2. Contemporary furniture may be more geometrically shaped in appearance to give a clean, smart lines and a modern appearance to a room.

Considerations when choosing traditional furniture

  1. Traditional tables and chairs are usually made from wood. They may be more ornate with carvings on them and embellishments such as claw feet.
  2. Traditional designs may be taken or modified from period pieces eg the Chesterfield Settee.

The important thing to remember is that everyone has different tastes. There are no right or wrong decisions (within reason!). So make an informed choice, buy what you and your family like, and create a look for your home that is pleasing to yourselves.

Children's Furniture

children's sofabedFurniture for children is usually fun and functional. Typical items that are designed with children in mind include bunk beds, cabin beds and single beds; toyboxes, bookcases, desks, chairs, chests of drawers and wardrobes. These are items normally found in the child's bedroom, although items such as a toybox may find a home in your family room or playroom. The Children's Furniture Company offer a range of items such as these for your children's bedrooms.
