Use furniture appropriate to your space



Again, clutter and busyness in a room is not really functional and appealing to people.

One of the smart way to make your room functional and love living in that room is by choosing the right furniture. When you go shopping draw and measure your space. Your drawing does not have to look professional. Think about what you want to use that room i.e. entertaining friends and families, relaxing and watching tv or a place to read quietly or a more formal room to have company or a kitchen that you want people to linger. Shop, measure the furniture you like and make sure the furniture fits your space/room.

Color, texture, size and shape and use of decor all play in the scheme in making your room the way you would like it to be. I will discuss these areas more on my future blogs. The room could look glamorous like a celebrity. I am a subscriber of Architectural Digest and celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Ralph Lauren and Michael Jackson's homes were featured. However, a space should be created for a specific purpose and lifestyle like yours.

If you have a big house and you like comfy and chunky sofas with lots of pillows, these sofas will blend well with your home. Shown is a Verandah sofa available at Laguna Design Center. If you favor contemporary style, furniture at Roche Bobois can also be a good place to check out http://www.rochebobois.com If you want to see more on modern living go to the Dwell design show http://dod.dwell.com/?gclid=CMialuaatqkCFQUGbAodlElGMA I have been to their show last year but I can't this year due to prior commitment.

Here are some pictures to drive my point.
