The matter of a furniture set automatically raises when furnishing the bedroom and the living room. Set of furniture family with the same color, pattern and upholstery can be purchased in bigger furniture shops, covering almost the whole flat. This is a safe choice for the unified sight. But let’s take the risk and choose complementary and matching pieces of furniture instead of a set. Classic style won’t vanish with this!
In a living room, cabinets and tables belong to a group, upholstered furniture (sofa, armchair, ottoman) to the other group, commonly these are together the furnishing. Texture shall be more diverse if the colors are similar. For example: a pair of leather armchairs fit perfectly to a sofa upholstered with beige fabric. A table made of black metal complements well the dark wooden cabinets. If all the seats are upholstered, colors of the sofa and armchairs shall be different but in harmony to each other. Inverse upholstery is an elegant solution for this: highlight the lines of furniture with a distinct colored hemming. The other furniture gets the color of this and its hemming’s color is the first one’s base color.
The colors and materials of the bedroom furniture does not necessarily have to match. For example: a mirrored night table can be placed beside a bed made of wood, moreover, two different night tables on the two sides of it. They shall complement each other, that is important. A chair or pouf in distinct color can be placed to a dressing table. The wardrobe can have the same or similar color to the wall, so it will fade into it, this way a characteristic bed could be the focal point.
The same method can be applied in the case of a dinner table and chairs.
The above mentioned provide an opportunity to use inherited or flea market furniture also. Different materials, colors and textures create an exciting and unique view. Ask for help of an interior designer for creating the perfect harmony!
