Furniture is an essential and staple in our homes. With it, people will know what your style and personality for it reflect. It is not that simple to choose and buy, though. There are many choices out there in different shapes and sizes. Sometimes it is hard to determine what is best for you. Add to that, you have your budget. There will be times you would want to have the cheaper ones, but it does not suit your home. You would find something, but it will be out of your price range.
There is a solution to that, though. You will have to look further like in thrift shops. There is also a variety in there, and if you are into DIY or crafting, you can fix them on your style. Why not also try mixing and matching. You would find different kinds of furniture that seem to be different, but you have to gain some knowledge about style. Let us start with something simple like sofas and chairs. You might find various kinds of them, but you can have them in the same room. You do not need to have an interior designer with these simple tips:
1. Color
Color coordinating is simple. It does not have to be the same. Having different kinds makes it more interesting at times. But they should be organized, and as said before, it is simple. Just choose a color then find something that will match or looks good with your eyes. Sometimes, neutral and warm colors such as brown and blue can mix with bright colors such as yellow. So as an example, if you have a blue sofa, you can mix in a yellow chair then match them with accessories for added effect.
2. Size
Like colors, the key to this is coordination and balance. The term that they would love to use when it comes to this is symmetrical. For example, if you have one big sofa, you can pair them with two smaller but even in size chairs and have them arrange with the big sofa in the middle. When it comes to size, it is usually about the numbers.
3. Materials and Fabrics
Sofas and chairs can be made from different kinds of materials. It could be wood, metal, or even plastic. It is the same as with the fabrics. It would be fine to have them together, but the principle of color coordination applies here. Like with the woods, which also has different kinds and colors, it is advisable to have one dark then have a lighter with another.
4. Patterns
When it comes to patterns, it is advisable to have similar or the same. If not, your living room will tend to look busy and not pleasant to look at. So it is either you will have a patterned sofa with plain chairs or vice versa or pick ones that are the same in pattern.
Additional Tip: Since it is all about coordination, be sure to have your accessories and decor coordinated as well.
