The first advice how to choose the right furniture: do not rush to buy new furniture. First you need to decide what will be really necessary and useful for you in the house from the furniture, and then think about which furniture will have a shape, design, upholstery.
Draw a plan of your apartment on paper, for example in a scale of 1:20. In the same scale, draw, and then cut out from the paper images of pieces of furniture that you would like to have in the new apartment. Place the cut out images on the outlined plan of the apartment, having thought over the purpose of the pieces of furniture and their correspondence to the areas of the apartment space. It is better to make several options for placing furniture and choose the best option.
Tip 2: Try to do without unnecessary furniture. From the experience of designers it follows that for an optimally saturated interior the coefficient of "crowding" (ie the ratio of the area occupied by furniture to the total area of the room) for a living room or living room in a one-room apartment should not exceed 0.35, for a bedroom - 0, 45.
How to choose the right furniture? Furniture should be useful, comfortable, and create comfortable conditions for living next to it. Only then choose furniture according to the type of construction, shape, color, upholstery. The main thing is the convenience in using furniture.
Perhaps you will agree that dear dark polished furniture does not always justify its rigor and "pomposity", as it requires constant care, is afraid of moisture, touch of hot objects. The glittering surfaces create numerous glare, which wears out the eyesight and introduces an element of anxiety into the general interior of the home. The mistress of the house with a constant rag in her hand, wiping the polished surfaces, is unlikely to enjoy the sparkling appearance of the elegant shiny planes, and from the mistress of furniture becomes her servant. The absence of everyday, economic rationality in such furniture negates its unconditional external dignity. What kind of furniture to choose? Beautiful furniture that fits into the interior, comfortable, practical, rational.
Upholstery furniture - one of the main criteria for choosing sofas, armchairs and chairs; and the main requirement for upholstery is again convenience and practicality. Our advice: you should choose the material that meets the general color design of the room; while care for furniture should not require incredible forces and take a lot of time.
Moving to a new house or apartment, you bring your old family traditions, including traditions in interior design. Drop old stereotypes. Think about the comfort, rationality, convenience, hygiene and ease of care for furniture. This is the term "coziness". Your new apartment will be really nice and cozy only if the interior is solved in a new way.
Even in an old apartment without replacing furniture, you can create a completely new style of interior. There are a lot of options: it is the rearrangement of furniture, and the alteration of furniture (not necessarily radical), the purchase of removable covers for furniture upholstery, allowing you to periodically change the overall appearance of the interior. And of course think about what you can leave without regret.
Another useful tip: the furniture should be harmoniously combined with the layout of the apartment, the availability and placement of built-in equipment, fit in the overall color scheme of the home. Modern interior involves the use in the design of rooms decorative fabrics, modern wallpapers, decorative glass, ceramic products, prints.
Everyone can make their home beautiful and cozy. And for this we need creativity and ingenuity. Therefore, our advice should not be taken as a dogma, but as an example of a "right" approach to the problem of choosing furniture. Think and create a new interior of your house on your own.
