Furniture makes life more comfortable. We need furniture for every aspect of our life. We need it for sleeping, sitting, eating, storing, and working. That’s pretty much our lives summed up. They are here to help us lead more easy and content lives. As much as it helps us lead more reposeful lives, nowadays, it has also come to reflect the personality of the owner. Choosing furniture for your house is now as important as picking your clothes. They tell a person as much about you, like your clothes. Furniture is also now a part of your style statement.
Types of Furniture
There are two broad categories of furniture home and office furniture. For every different need, we require different types of furniture. Furniture used for sleeping is not ideal for working or sitting down. Therefore, they have to be customized according to the need. They can also be classified depending on their placement, or where they are placed in a house. They also have to be customized to suit personal preferences. When you broadly categorize furniture based on where each item is placed, the following are the most commonly recognized.
- Living Room Bedroom
- Dining Room
Living Room Furniture
The living room is where you receive your guests and also the common area of your house where people are together. The various types of furniture that generally find a place in the Living Room include:
- Sofa
- Lounge Chair
- Ottoman Chair
- Side Table
- Recliner
- TV Console
Placement of Furniture
It is not enough that you buy your favourite furniture. How you place them, where you place them, the lighting, the ambience, the theme, and every small detail in the room adds to the personality of your room. Not only that, but the placement of furniture can also enhance your interactions with friends and family. Comfort is a factor of great importance too. Arranging the furniture is, therefore a daunting task. It might help if you have a general idea about the kind of furniture you want to buy and where to place them in your home.
Here are a few pointers to help you arrange your furniture better.
- Choose the Focal Point in the Room
- Allow Some Space Between the Walls and Furniture
- Arrange Furniture to Facilitate Easy Conversation
- Balance in Terms of Size and Placement
- Enough Moving Space for People
- A Bigger Coffee Table is a Better Choice
- Table Should be Easily Accessible From Every Seat
Dining Room Arrangement
Though the general guidelines apply to all rooms, the dining room requires a special mention. The Dining Chair and Dining Table are the main elements of a dining room. The dining table should ideally be placed at a 36-inch distance from the walls and other furniture in the room. The height of the table as against the chair should be taken into consideration before buying.
Furniture is an integral part of everyday life. Spending more on sound, lasting, furniture might be a good idea if you own your house and are going to be in the same house for a long time. Otherwise, a house with lesser and only necessary furniture might help if you are always on the move.
