Some advice on choosing a style for your new furniture ...
With such a bewildering array of furniture options available online, it can seem like a daunting task to pick the pieces that are right for your home, but by considering a few options, you will be able to make the right choice and create exactly the atmosphere you want, letting you relax after a hard day’s work, or entertain in style.
The first thing to do is decide what kind of atmosphere you want to create, but it is important to be consistent, otherwise you could end up with a confused mish mash of designs that will bring chaos rather than style to your home. The first thing to decide is whether you want a traditional or a modern look – do you want the warm, rustic grandeur of a country cottage or the cool, sleek modernity of an up to the minute city apartment? In some cases, your home itself will give you the answer, but really, no matter where you live, you can always make your mark.
If you want to go traditional, you’ll want to pick pieces with time-honoured design features like turned legs, solid timber construction or an antique wax finish that will evoke something of the relaxed rustic atmosphere of the countryside. Chunky sideboards, bookshelves with thick wooden shelves, large chests that emanate the subtle grandeur of natural wood – all these make a traditional rustic look a piece of cake, and practical to boot.
For a contemporary style, more thought is required, as minimalism is the best way to achieve a modern atmosphere, so you’ll want to choose your pieces wisely so as to avoid cluttering your living space with unnecessary objects, so start with the essentials, coffee tables, sofas, bookshelves. You’ll want to pick pieces with sleek, crisp lines and smooth finishes in order to attain that cool, modern style, though you can still choose almost any natural timber, as solid wood is increasingly used in eco-friendly ultra-modern environments. Glass, whether as a tabletop or for glazed cupboards is another way to introduce new textures to your room, so explore what’s available and don’t be afraid of being a trailblazer.
So whatever style you want, the important thing is to be clear about what you’re trying to achieve, and to keep focused on the atmosphere you’re trying to create.
