Choosing The Color Of Your Furniture

Choosing the right color of furniture can go a long way in determining what the interiors of your house look like. Furniture that is well-coordinated with the overall design and theme of the house accentuates the look of your room. Following tips guide on making the right color choice for furniture:

  • Lighting: When choosing the color of furniture, you must consider how well-lit the room is. Rooms that receive plenty of natural light can be safely furnished with darker colors. On the other hand, if a room is not lit properly, it is better to opt for lighter shades of furniture.
  • Décor: You must ensure that the décor and furniture of the room are of similar tones. If you intend to have one large piece of décor, such as a wall painting, choose your furniture keeping this in mind, and try to opt for a color that is part of this artifact. Doing so will tie the whole room together but at the same time make sure that nothing seems mismatched. It is also important to consider the color of preexisting furniture before purchasing a new piece.
  • Size Of The Room: Choosing the right color of furniture can go a long way in adding grace to the room. In case of a large and spacious room, the best choice is dark colored furniture, since this will help to make the room cozier and more welcoming. The opposite stands true for smaller rooms, where you should opt for lighter shades instead, which work to make everything seem more spacious.
  • Usage: When deciding which color of furniture to get for a room, think about how much the furniture will be used, and also how much you want to invest towards its maintenance. Rooms that are used heavily such as living areas, or children’s bedrooms should preferably have darker furniture that requires less maintenance. You can choose light colored furniture for rooms that are not used as much, such as guest rooms and drawing rooms.
  • Your Taste: While considering all the above factors, do not forget to take into account your personal taste, since that is what will really determine how happy you feel each time you use the furniture. Furniture that is of your taste will always bring you joy no matter what the color.
