| Description | Taste in furniture is something that is extremely personal and unique to each individual. The key to making smart choices when furnishing your home involves doing enough research to know what it is you really like and where to get it. The article below can help you do just that. If you have small children, you should avoid purchasing furniture with sharp edges. Little ones tend to trip and fall often which can result in a trip to the emergency room if your furniture has sharp edges. Instead, when shopping for sofa tables and end tables look for furniture with routered curved edges. Before buying any cabinets, open all of the drawers and look inside. You're not only making sure that all of the drawers are built to last and open without any hitches, you also want to make sure that the interior of the drawers have some sort of finishing as well. Think about where you are going to place a piece of furniture that you are shopping for. If it is going near a heating unit or a vent of some kind, then wood furniture is not a good choice. Dry heat means wood is likely to dry out and shrink over time, which leaves cracks. If you have to, compensate with a humidifier in drier months. You want a moisture level of about 40 percent. Examine the finish on the furniture you are considering. If the furniture is wood with a stain, check that it is applied evenly and that you can see the wood grain. For opaque or painted finishes, look for an even coating. There should be no bubbles or other blemishes on the finish. Outdoor furniture is an investment that needs to be constructed with quality in mind. Carefully look at each welding area to ensure that the weld points are not weak. If you notice any welds that seem weak, do not purchase the outdoor furniture. You want outdoor furniture that can withstand the elements. When you purchase a couch, find one that is intended to have a long life and then decide if it is sufficiently comfortable. Supported by springs is what the cushions lay on top of. Serpentine springs are acceptable but eight-way, hand-tied springs are better. You can test the springs by feeling them through the upholstery. You want to be feeling something that is firm with close together placement. Watch out for furniture that is poorly made. To ensure that you are purchasing a sofa that will withstand the punishment your family can do to your sofa turn the sofa upside down and look at the structure of the sofa. Poorly made furniture will be made using 1x1's instead of 2x2. When you are shopping for a sofa, be sure that you sit at least for a few minutes on each one. You want to make sure that you feel absolutely comfortable when you sit in it. The sofa should give you firm support without letting your body sag. A sofa that is too soft can give you a backache. Always check the springs of the furniture you want to buy. It is important to choose a chair or a sofa that feels comfortable to you. If you like firm chairs and sofas, make sure the springs are coiled properly and do not hesitate to replace them regularly to keep your furniture comfortable. The type of springs that your sofa has will make a huge difference in the comfort level. They will also play a role in how long your sofa lasts. Look for a sofa that has zig zag springs, not coil springs. The zig zag style will allow for more give, but will spring back into place when weight is lifted off of them. When shopping at a thrift store, look at the bare bones of the furniture, not the upholstery. You may be able to find a beautiful sofa for pennies on the dollar if you are willing to reupholster the piece or have it professionally reupholstered. The money saved on the piece will generally cover any upholstery job. The problem many people have with shopping for furniture is just a simple lack of knowledge about how it can be done well and without a lot of hassle. Fortunately, the article above has provided some great information to help demystify the concept. Review the tips as necessary and have a blast furnishing your home to suit your unique tastes. |
