Guide to Buying Living Room
After you are done with the living room in fresh wallpaper and paint, and are also through with the flooring and upholstery, how do you go ahead with buying the right furniture that goes with the color and theme? Is this a common picture you often encounter? First of all, relax. You will most certainly come across a range of contemporary living room furniture that compliments your overall dcor and styling. But before you go out and shop for modern sofas, recliners and trendy entertainment units as everything else, here are a couple of things you might want to consider.
The Living room area
Ideally, the size of your furniture must be in proportion to the size of your living room. You dont want petite furniture for bigger spaces or something too bulky that occupies all the space. Work out on your personal taste and fit it with practical details like the room size and styling.
For smaller living rooms, opt for modular and functional furniture and keep in mind that heavy upholstery can make it look all crammed. You also get furniture that can function as day sofa and be transformed into a full-fledged bed. Do not forget to fashion the space in a manner that allows open room to move comfortably. For instance, a hi-tech spread out sofa would suit larger room settings. So, measure the area and try to buy furniture with size and details in mind.
Also pay attention to where exactly in the living room you want the furniture to be placed. Once you have decided, measure the area and then keep the dimensions in mind (or jot it down on paper) and keep it in mind while your selection. It is also important to take into account the space required between the wall and the furniture while measuring.
Styling and Upholstery
Depending on your taste and the furniture style, co-ordinate rest of the dcor in line with the furniture. Cushions, upholstery and curtains can be complimented in neutral, complimenting and contrasting tones. If you already have cushions and curtains that do well with the theme, use them and also add something new that provides a resting space to the whole theme. A contrasting bowl, vase and even antique items in neutral shades do well to add a personal touch to your living space.
Sofas
The mantra is to explore. There are a broad variety of sofa styles to boggle the mind, but once you discover your particular style, it will be easier. Your choice of sofa seating will depend not on your taste, but also on the number of people in the family and the available amount of space (the measurements).A long sofa accompanied by one or two armchairs maybe all you need, and you will find many futon beds and modular sofa models that fill in the space with grace. The material should be chosen as per convenience and the time you can spend in cleaning.
Recliners and Rocking Chairs
Reclining armchair or sofas make great luxurious furniture. With a built-in footrest, recliners provide superior comfort. A rocking chair can be added for a personal touch of class to any living room. While recliners are mostly done in lush leather, you could add a contrasting wicker or wood rocker chair to add a more or unconventional feel.
Entertainment units/TV unit
Modern day entertainment units combine features and functionality to offer great looking furniture units to stack, store and display. Low-slung units as also regular units both look great. Depending upon the space, you can have a unit that compliments the theme and fits the space.
Coffee Tables
The coffee table makes a focal point for family and friends. A good coffee table should also offer convenient storage space to help reduce living room clutter. There are different styles and shapes that come with a choice of color and finish. You can also add a contrasting coffee table to create a great corner for relaxation and play time.
Accent Pieces
In contrast to other rooms in a home, living room helps with the first impressions. You can fashion up a theme and add art pieces that reflect a part of your personality. There are great standing mirrors that allow you to add a different dimension to a living area. Then there are variety of accent tables, stylish armoires, side tables that can add to the theme with style.

Looks fab on my patio! I was very dubious about the measurements of the furniture before delivery and expected something a lot smaller however I wasn't disappointed. For the price, I do also feel the quality is really good and the rattan effect is good quality. I had been looking at similar items in garden centres that were much more expensive but poorer quality. I would definitely recommend

The kids constantly had their helmets, baseball gloves etc all over the deck at the cabin. I ordered this stylish storage bin so I didn't have to look at it. It looks great on the deck and serves as an extra seat too! It was super easy to put together and just looks like another piece of furniture!

My husband was needing something sturdy to take those dirty work boots off everyday and I wanted something more appealing and functional. This ticked both boxes. We're pleased with the bench and like the storage for shoes to clean up on tiny entryway-

Good storage box for those outside cushions. The trouble is we keep buying more cushions to fill the box.

Good quality material , light enough for my balcony yet sturdy. Bit fiddly to put together, but I do have small hands , they didn’t simply click but once constructed they look attractive and will be even better when they have some plants in. Great service received them days before the date stated on the booking confirmation. Very pleased - May order some more !

Looks great. Color faded a bit after the first season with them, but I guess that is expected in the outdoors.

Looks good when assembed and does the job. Easy to assemble except for the back panel - attaching it with screws (why not nails?) without any guiding wholes whatsoever was pretty difficult.

I did not realise that it was self assembled, "which to be honest is probably my fault". But! I was left with eleven bolts and nuts because the corresponding holes were not in alignment and the product is of poor quality and not worth the price. I have bought from wayfair before and been happy with the product. It boils down to checking the product before you buy if possible otherwise buy where you can check the product first.

Delivery was excellent. The assembly only took an hour or so. Foolproof instructions, solid structure would recommend it 100%

This is the 2nd storage seat that I've purchased and I'm very pleased with this item. It looks very neat, it's not too large nor too small. It keeps our outdoor cushions in fine shape and recently made a comfy extra seat for some guests. I really like the darker color of this, also.

Hi, I have the storage on the porch leading to the backyard. I am able to store quite a few things inside. It does not appear sturdy enough to have an adult sit on it for any period of time.

This item is the perfect size for the space it was purchased for (due to the very handy sort by dimension feature on the website - i was able to choose something that was the perfect fit). Product only required 1 screwdriver to construct (not provided) and looks great once constructed. The instructions were easy to follow, and aside from some creaking noises, seems structurally sound. The bench also comes with rubber tabs for the underside so that it doesn't scratch your floor, which was also a pleasant surprise.

Easy to order and arrived quickly. The overall quality is good, although when putting it together, some of the predrilled holes in the from section of the seat, requiring unnecessary adjustment to make it fit. Otherwise very happy with the bench.

I have a small patio and hate clutter. I bought this in white and it's big enough to hold my clippers, gloves, fertilizers, small garden tools, barbecue tools and a bag of charcoal. It's sturdy enough for me to sit on while barbecuing. Perfect for my needs and looks nice. It's easy to put together following the instructions. A great deal and arrived in no time at all.

The appearance was good and it is comfortable to sit upon. The protective paint covering was extremely thin. The wood used in it's construction is extremely soft in particular the sections used on the side arm-rests. this was noticeable upon inspecting the pre-drilled holes which were not crisply machined , as would be the case when using a hard material, but were crumbly and crude and it was this sort of material detail that made me consider that this garden seat will not survive many seasons when left outside in the UK climate.
