5 Tips for Choosing Sofa and Chairs for your Home
Excited about re-designing your living space? When choosing furniture, chairs are an indispensable addition. Whether it is in your living room or dining area, chairs and sofas reflect your fashion statement and lifestyle aspiration.
Let us walk through some tips in making the right choice when mixing and matching the ideal seat designs
- Understand Your Interior Ideas
Gone are the days when a conventional three-piece sofa is a safe bet in your living room. The growing trend of having personalised interiors means that many owners like yourself can have a chance to dictate the structure of your sofa.
A simple guideline will be to choose the designs, fabrics and hues that best suit your home’s colour palette. For example, when considering the fabric, you might choose one that has a tougher textural feel to exude a stronger personality coupled with lighter colour tone to soften the overall look. The tougher textural fabric is often associated with a more durable resistance against daily wear and tear. The outcome – a sofa set that is uniquely customised.
2. Knit Two Shades Together
If you prefer consistency without abrupt visual disruption due to the difference of shapes and styles of the seating in your living room, go for a coordinate range of hues. The recommended approach is a flexible modular sofa system that allows you to string shades and patterns in a single seating arrangement.
A more daring choice without being too loud in design is the alternating seat colour between light grey and navy blue for ease of maintenance without compromising your taste for grandeur outlook. A brighter colour choice might be the coral colour with a dose of peppermint colour. This is best suited for living rooms with natural daylight to brighten the living room.
3. Balancing Functionality with Style
So where’s the role of the chair? While modular sofa system and the play with diverse design patterns is the usual trend,
why not consider adding an armchair in the living room? Depending on your interior theme, an armchair of vintage hue can add a Mediterranean style.
If your study room or bedroom allows, an armchair instead of the usual swivel chair adds personality to the area. Looking for neat and simplicity style? Go for the less angular shape of chairs and tables. Do take a test try on the armchair to ensure that the armrest and depth of seat best fit your body size and the corresponding height of your table or surrounding furniture set.
4. Make Chairs and Sofas Your Home’s Focal Point with Upholstery Service
After a long workday, you crave for that comfortable seat in your home. Imagine resting your tired neck and shoulder on the chair and cool down. Besides choosing the fabric design to create a chair statement, you can choose a choice of the seat pad. The depth of the chair should be sufficient to allow you to rest comfortably as your shoulder rest onto the back support. Choose a softer seat and back support pad for greater cushioning comfort.
5. Consider the Interior Theme before Mixing and Matching
The feel and look of your sofas and chair rest upon your interior design. For a Scandinavian look, light brown or neutral hues are the best bet to create that vivid look. An industrial and to some extent futuristic look may add metallic colour elements and tilt the colour tones towards darker range such as grey, blue and brown.
With this knowledge, it’s time to loosen your imagination and take a dive towards choosing the ideal combination of sofas and chairs. Do stay tuned for our next series of home styling guide!
