In the past, homeowners felt pressured to select a single
decorating style and to stick to it. The goal was to present a room where all
the furniture looked brand new. Today, people are more interested in conveying
a sense of their own personal tastes, with rooms that look as if they were
furnished over time, through careful selections.
While the eclectic decorating style can be more satisfying,
it can present its own set of challenges, too. Too many disparate elements can
make a room look unorganized and chaotic. Here are a few tips on how to shop home furniture store Toronto, whether
online or in person, for furniture that you'll love just as much when you get
it home.
Unifying Elements
Just as a piece of music uses a repetitive drum beat or base
line to establish a rhythm, a well-designed room uses repetition to establish a
visual rhythm, a pattern that helps to unify the room, presenting it as a
cohesive whole. Colors, materials and textures in house furniture can all be
used as unifying elements.
For example, the distinctive texture and color of leather
home furniture can be used throughout the room to unify the furniture décor. A
side table with pictures framed in leather, a wooden console table in the same
shade as the leather, and wallpaper in varying shades of the same hue, would
help unify the room by expanding the rich feel and deep color of leather
throughout the room.
Interesting Accents
Just as music needs melody as well as rhythm, home furniture
needs more that repetitive elements to make the room an interesting space.
Colors, materials and textures can be used as contrasting elements, too.
Elements that would play well against the weight and mass of leather house
furniture include metallic lamps, to add polish and gleam, glass tables, to
lighten the look, and colors like celadon or fawn, to soften the overall color
palette.
Establishing a Mood
Music with melody and rhythm is likely to convey a specific
mood. Determining what mood is wanted from a room, before shopping at home
furniture stores, helps inform furniture selections. Every room has atmosphere,
whether intended or not. Rooms can be invigorating or soothing. They can
establish a feeling of luxury or carefree fun. With some forethought, they can
surround you with the environment that best suits your own personality.
You're the Star
When music is personally meaningful, the artist gets most of
the glory. To ensure that your rooms best represent your personality, only
purchase furniture that you love from home furniture
stores. While creating a cohesive room that establishes the right environment
is important, each element of the room should give you pleasure. Set the
rhythm, add the melody, create a mood, then go ahead and sing.
