- Grab the tape measure
Whether for the living room, kitchen or bedroom, the first thing to do is to know exactly the measurements of the space that the furniture will occupy. You will have already seen that every good decorator does not leave his house without his meter in his pocket. I measured the width and the length and wrote down, because always afterwards you forget. - Pencil and paper
In case you are going to furnish from scratch, the most professional thing you can do is a plan. Whether you already have some furniture or not, the drawing guides you a lot about the possibilities and limitations of your environment. If you have graph paper, all the better. Take into account, when making the proportions, not to pile furniture in the drawing, because live and direct things can change a lot. Mydeal Review - Don’t be opened suddenly
Something that also happens is that a piece of furniture is next to the door or the window and is a hindrance. Then you have to run everything a little further, from which the decoration on the other side is unbalanced and so on. Of course, none of this happens if you choose custom furniture. The floating sideboard by Lenny is a marvel, very flush with the windows. - Visualize the future
And yes, interior design has to take into account the for what of each thing. Even if it is a piece of furniture to put ornaments, it has to be perfectly located and in balance with the whole. If you don’t know what type of furniture you want for your house, you can even try drawing with chalk on the floor, or placing on the wall what would be the probable outline. And, needless to say, sharpen your critical sense. That is not that by a mess you ruin your living room.

Minimalist Dining Rooms by Deborah Garth Interior Design
It may happen that you find yourself with a very neutral environment or, on the contrary, very eclectic, and you do not know what style you have to choose for your new furniture. Perhaps you like the modern clear acrylic chairs for the dining room, to give an example taking advantage of the beautiful decoration of Deborah Garth Interior Design; then the question would be if these chairs look good in your dining room. One parameter is the light in the room: creating bright spaces is a parameter that never fails. On the other hand, if the walls are white, you can play with the color of the furniture and its accessories. A neutral base admits many more variables than a defined character environment. - Furniture as an investment
Quality is important in furniture. Poor quality upholstery is likely to go bad quickly. Think about how you will use your furniture and if there will be children who can scratch, hit, dirty or break it. It is not advisable to buy delicate furniture if there are small children in the house. Nor structures that could be dangerous. It is better to live quietly and let the children be children. On the other hand, if you live in a humid area, try to make the furniture materials resist this characteristic. - Shapes and materials
You can find contemporary, avant-garde, rustic or classic furniture. Modern furniture is those that adhere to the neutral. In this category you will find materials such as wood, glass, acrylic, lacquer or metal, with a small variation of colors between the range of beige, gray and white. The avant-garde, offer shapes and colors that stand out, so they are ideal for neutral environments. In the image above, from Pop Arq , we see a white sideboard for bedrooms with antique lines, ideal for a setting with dark and earthy tones, which was great in an eclectic bedroom. - Choose based on
For bedrooms, a simple way to solve the issue of choosing furniture is to do it based on the bed. In this way you can choose in a symmetrical and balanced way the bedside tables, the closet, the chest of drawers or chiffonier, and the accessories that you apply later. As a final tip, we tell you not to be afraid to combine textures or colors. Sometimes buying everything just like in the catalogs can be too impersonal. Give your home your own touch; yes, with aesthetic criteria and spatial sense. And if you make a mistake, celebrate it because it is from mistakes that we learn. Health!
