How To Shop For Modern Furniture?

When you move into a new home, you get excited about furnishing with new, modern furniture. This furniture style may have its design roots in the past, but it boasts many space-saving, luxurious and aesthetic elements. Put together, modern furnishings can make a small home look organized and spacious and a large home look warm and cozy.

As you browse around for modern furniture online, you’ll come across many retailers with beautiful furnishings. With the following tips, you can select some of the most suitable and attractive furnishings for your home:

Size of your Space:

Before making any purchase, take measurements of your home. We recommend taking the tape and actually taping your floors so that you get a visual representation of how large your sofa set, recliner, coffee table, bed, etc. should be. It’s easy to get carried away by all the choices out there but imagine an oversized sofa in a small living room. That would seem like a nuisance. 


When you tape your floor, you will also get an idea about the space around the furniture, i.e. walking space. You don’t want guests to stub their toes each time they have to make their way to the sofa. As you’re browsing for furniture online, look for the piece’s measurements and take the time to tape them into your space. This will give you an accurate indication about how well this piece will fit in.

Quality of the Furnishings:

The quality of your furniture is key to how long it will last. Ideally, you want your furnishings to last for some time. This means you need to understand the different terms used to describe different grades of wood.

MDF - Stands for Medium Density Fibreboard. It is made by crushing wood chips into minute fibres and mixing in glue. The resulting mixture is fused with pressure and heat to produce a board of wood.

Plywood - This material is made from super thin wood layers which are bonded tight at right angles to the grain.

Lacquer - A durable coating of varnish applied in multiple layers, ranging from glossy to matt. This is done to protect the furniture’s surface.

Engineered Wood - This restricted particleboard, composite wood and or plywood.

Particle Board - The wood panels are made by gluing together synthetic resins and wood particles under intense pressure and heat.

Solid Wood - A term used to describe the high quality, ‘real’ wood. 


Comfort:

One of the biggest reasons why we buy furniture in the first place is to provide comfort. This can be hard to do when shopping online, but there are pointers you can look out for which provide information about comfort.

For sofas, armchairs, ottomans, etc., there should be an adequate amount of padding. Most retailers mention the amount or thickness of filling/foam in the sofa or chair. Next, look at the upholstery material. Linens are some of the best upholstery materials as are velvets. The weave of the material will also make a big difference. Generally, the tighter the weave the more durable it is.
