                             Furniture Style and Size

Can't decide on the right style for your space? Don't worry-you can narrow your options by asking yourself a few simple questions. What will it look like? How will you use it? And, (the most common afterthought) how much space do you really have?

WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE?
So, you're ready to pick a color. It's the exciting first step to furniture shopping, but it's not always easy! If you're stuck, take a look at the space you have. Search for upholstery that matches the colors of your walls, carpets and other décor. Remember, if you're shopping for a high-traffic living room, look for more durable fabrics, such as microfiber or top-grain leather. Learn more about upholstered furniture

Also, consider the style of other furniture in the room. If you want a consistent look, be sure to match all your wood furniture with the same finish or veneers. Need to brighten up the room? Try light-finished oak or primavera veneers. For something sleeker, look for cherry or mahogany veneers in a deep merlot finish. Learn more about wood furniture

HOW WILL YOU USE IT?
You love the chic new look everyone's talking about. But will it work for you? There's nothing wrong with shopping for the latest trends, but don't forget about functionality. Consider all the ways you like to get comfy in your home and choose the pieces that fit your needs.

Enjoy lying down on a sofa? Consider one with low arms-perfect for resting your head. Or, if you prefer a cozy reading spot, choose a high-arm design and nuzzle in! If snoozing's your thing, try motion sofas, which feature a built-in recliner. Expecting guests? Save space with a sleeper sofa and simply pull out the extra bed whenever you need it.

For those who love to entertain, expandable tables and apron leaves ensure there's always enough room for everyone. Keep extra side chairs along the walls of the dining room. And make serving a breeze with a sideboard, buffet or bar server.

WILL IT FIT?
It may seem obvious, but measuring your space is an essential step to deciding on any piece of furniture. Compare the dimensions of the piece with the size of your room. Don't forget to consider how you'll get the furniture into the space: Are the doorways large enough? Any narrow hallways or stairwells?

If space is an issue, consider modular furniture and sectionals. These sets come in several pieces that can often be rearranged to fit your space or style preference. Small room? Try love seats or apartment sofas, which are a few inches shorter than sofas in the same collection.
