Furniture
Add comfort, style and utility to every room in your house
Furniture is an essential component in any home. It turns bedrooms, family rooms, dining rooms and other areas into comfortable,
enjoyable and functional living spaces. Good furniture is designed to incorporate elements that are both useful and stylish. With
such a wide variety of types, styles, colors and finishes to choose from, navigating through the sea of available choices can be a
little intimidating. Taking a few minutes to consider the rooms you will be furnishing, the intended purpose of each item and the type
of atmosphere you wish to create will go a long way toward helping you find the ideal furnishings for your home. Before you start

 Which room or rooms are you furnishing?
 Are there specific items of furniture you want to add?
 What materials and finishes will look best?

 How can you most effectively furnish different rooms?

to free up space, look for an L-shaped couch that can fit in a corner. Sectional couches can be configured to fit nearly any room and
some even feature built-in cup holders or tables for added convenience. Consider both the style and type of material. Leather
provides sophisticated style and durability while chenille and velvet provide soft cushioning and an elegant feel. Ottomans can be
used to enhance comfort and complete a room's look.
