Furniture Fundamentals Try to stay away from all-matched sets that look like you picked up furniture for an entire room, as is, from a showroom. Stick to your personality map for the room. For example, if it is inherentlytraditional, then choosing black leather sofas with steel base furniture in straight lines really won’t work too well. On the other hand, a modern room need not be all about minimalism and high gloss finishes. The odd touch of traditional and a hint of colour and curve will add more visual interest. Eclectiscm can add value if you integrate it well.If it works with the layout, keep an old piece of furniture purely for its emotional value. It could be a mirror or just a small table but you will feel more connected to the room every time you see it. Memories are a powerful source of comfort. Connect to your space the way YOU want.
