Selecting Contemporary Furniture for Your Property
The first thing you need to think about when re-designing a room is the layout, without this phase you are liable to finish up with a room you aren't too keen on. Then you will need to bear in mind which style you want, for example, is your room going to be designer or are you going to go for the more traditional look? Which color scheme are you going to use? Will you create a specific type of ambiance?
Determining where to put the furniture in a room is usually the most challenging stage of the design process.. A useful starting point is to decide on the focus of the room, whether this is a television, a coffee table or a sculpture.
When it comes to planning the lounge it is best to place everything according to its main purpose - for instance, do you use it for reading? To watch television? Or merely to speak informally with guests?
When styling a bedroom it's usually a good plan to begin with the bed, before deciding on other furniture, such as chest of drawers and designer mirrors.
Styling a playroom is a little special, ideally they need as much space as possible to play games in, so perhaps put the bed near the wall and find then some cool kid's accessories.
If you are designing an office it's best to start by working out where your display screen is going to face in relation to the sunlight, typically at a 90 degree angle is said to be the optimum position. When you have selected where you will conduct all your work, you can plan around it with desks, sidetables & office chairs.
Finally if it is a kitchen you are probably going to be limited by gas/electricity/water supplies, so you should deciden on the appliances first, then move onto stuff like lights, breakfast bars, kitchen stools etc.
