How to Choose Furniture for Your Pollen Collection Home

7

Maximize each inch of space in your Pollen Collection living room – however, that doesn’t necessarily mean overloading it with furniture. Discern the activities you would like the living area to accommodate and prepare it accordingly. By picking only a couple of furniture pieces that match your predetermined necessities and fit the floor space available, you could live big in even the tiniest of homes.

Budget and Shopping

A brand-new piece of furniture costs money, and sometimes a ton of it — maybe thousands of bucks for one sofa. Handle your finances well by organizing a furniture budget that suits your financial status. However, even if you have a large furniture budget, you may not need to spend everything. Check with friends and relatives for sturdy pieces of furniture that are stored in their attics, basements, or garages that they’d love to give to you.

You could refurbish a well-built furniture piece to match your style for just a small amount of money. You may also be amazed at the furniture you could find at thrift shops and estate sales. If you step into a furniture store, resist impulse buying by noting what you’re looking for and how much your budget could afford. If you know what you want for the living room in the first place, you’re less likely to be head over heels with a red leather sofa that is too large for your flat, does not suit your style, and is way more expensive for your budget.

Size

The size matters if we’re talking about furniture pieces that could fit comfortably inside your Pollen Collection living room. The height and width of doorways, hallways, and staircases leading into your home are crucial as well. Estimate these architectural features to guarantee that a piece of furniture could even get to your home’s interior space.

Moreover, choose furniture that matches your living room’s size — actual floor area and ceiling height. For instance, a sectional sofa that’s great for your vacant floor space leaves very little room for an entertainment center, shelving units, accent tables, additional seating, or bookcases. Instead of the mammoth sectional, choose a suitably-sized sofa that includes a pair of matching armchairs to develop a relaxing, to-scale seating placement.

Aesthetics

Aesthetics is a major element regarding the furnishings of your Pollen Collection living space. It’s obvious you don’t want the pieces of furniture to seem like “grandma’s living space,” but perhaps minimalist modern pieces don’t match your tastes in decorating as well. An easy fix is to pick transitional furniture pieces mixing both contemporary and traditional features.

They’re built with straight lines, only some slight curves, and gently rounded or pointed corners. Chunky legs and wooden pieces on chairs and sofas usually feature jet black to dark brunette tones in a satin-like finish. Opt for upholstery fabrics to suit your personal preference and lifestyle. A leather sofa is timeless, classic, durable, and matches any decoration.

However, it needs regular maintenance to keep the leather supple and soft, unhesitatingly reveals scratches, and has a big price tag. Affordable microfiber upholstery stands up to pets and kids and is accessible in a vast range of patterns and colors, as well as animal prints. Include an incredible furniture piece into your living area, like a vintage armoire that you have changed into a vibrant yellow, sky-blue, or vibrant orange, paint color. Accent tables with glass or mirrored tops reflect light to make small living areas appear a lot more spacious.
