Designer Furniture Home Furniture is that special category of furniture that is used in the domestic space. It can be further divided into sub categories according to the function and place of use of the furniture in the house. Thus Home Furniture can be lounge furniture, bedroom furniture, kids room furniture and furniture used in the dining room, library or study, patio, garden, kitchen, play room, living room etc. Needless to say that the design, size, the material used, the finish, the embellishments and the functions will be dictated by the ease of use of the user, the place where the furniture piece will be kept, the taste of the owner and much else.

Bedroom Furniture is so called as it finds use in the bedroom or the sleeping area of the home. Bedroom furniture could be used by a couple, an elderly person, a young teenage boy, girl, or a pre-teen kid. The size of the bed, the dresser or the cabinet, cupboards, table and chairs that could be part of bedroom furniture will depend upon who will be using it.

Thus for a young boy or girl, single bed will be quite enough but for a couple the choice is between a double bed, a queen size or king size bed. For pre-teen kids who share a room the bedroom furniture could include a bunk bed to save space and a large study table that could be shared. For elderly people their bedroom furniture should be built and placed to make it very easy for the person to climb in and out of bed, open cupboards and use dressers.

Furniture and Interior Design Furniture and interior design are very closely related, and choosing furniture is a very important aspect of designing a room. The following tips should help you choose the most appropriate furniture for a welldesigned living room, although the principles apply to any room in your home. The main tip is not to start with preconceptions, but to keep an open mind. Here are the three main mistakes that people make in interior design, not only in choosing furniture, but also with regard to the accessories and accent pieces. Some advice is also given on how to avoid these errors.

Mixing Styles and Periods Mixing styles when choosing furniture is a mistake! If you are designing a room using conventional interior design principles, make sure the furniture, including the accent pieces and items of occasional furniture, conform to the same style. The same is true of a historical


period: try not to mix periods of furniture and interior design that represent the decorative styles of their day. If you don't want to conform in that way, then that is fine - you can use whatever you want to use, but you would not be doing interior design - just satisfying your own preferences. Many people prefer to furnish and decorate their homes that way, and there is nothing wrong in doing that. However, this is about designing a room and not just filling it with your favorite stuff!

Pick the Wrong Furniture Irrespective of its style or period, size the furniture to the room. Many people choose furniture that is too large, and dominates a room, or too small and looks silly! Many put the bulk of their furniture in one place - in the middle or to the back of the room facing the TV! Selecting furniture and interior design means designing a room, and choosing furniture to suit that room and placing it properly.

If you are not sure what furniture arrangement you need for your room, then hedge your bets and buy sectionals. You can rearrange sectional furniture as much as you want until you get the best overall balance of individual items and their placement. That includes occasional furniture such coffee tables, cocktail cabinets, and end tables, and also TV or entertainment units and bookcases.

In fact, an intelligent choice of occasional tables and chairs can play a very significant role in interior design. When designing a room in a 'traditional' American style, whatever that is, a hickory rocking chair made to the old traditional design from gnarled hickory branches provides a very authentic look. So too does mission or Shaker furniture, and traditional pieces made in the American way with the genuine wood joints showing.


The Problem of Modernity Modernity is a specific style of furniture that involves ceramics, metals and glass, but the term is also often used for furniture demanded by the modern age. To be precise: computer and entertainment furniture units. The latter in particular can cause problems in a traditionally designed living room. It is not easy to get the log cabinet effect with a modern TV and entertainment console. If such units must be incorporated into your interior design, choosing furniture is not impossible, just a little more difficult. You have to know what to look for, such as Aspen Furniture's new Traditions range of entertainment consoles that would look acceptable with mission furniture.
