However, there’s more to furniture design than going to the store and buying the first sofa that catches your eye. There are many elements of design to think about. You need to consider the function of your room as well as the theme or color scheme. Placing a bunch of mismatched items in a room is going to make it look cluttered and uncomfortable.

Start with Measuring

It’s crucial that you first measure the room where you want new furniture. It can be tempting to start browsing furniture stores looking for the piece that stands out, but you need to match the furniture to the room. Scale is important in furniture design. An 8-foot couch is too big for a 10-foot living room. Conversely, a small table is going to look even smaller in a large open room. This is a common issue, so remember to measure first before attempting to bring a piece home—no matter how much you love it.

Create a Budget

Furniture design can get expensive quickly, so set a budget and stick to it. Knowing how much you have to spend on furniture can help you allocate money appropriately. You can decide which pieces are more important to you and spend more on those. Be strategic in creating your budget, but have an open mind in case you stumble across a table or chair that you just can’t live without.

Decide How You Want to Live

This isn’t a quiz; it’s your life, so base your furniture design for your home on how you will use it. How many people will use the space? What will you do in it? Are there children or pets to take into consideration? A person who lives alone and uses their living room primarily to watch TV will want a different layout than a family of four who uses their living room to spend time playing games together.

Choose a Style

Ultimately, you can design your living room the way you want it. However, it’s best to focus on a style so all the elements coordinate. It would look odd to combine a modern style with retro elements, so get a feel for the different styles and choose one that fits your personality best. The style you choose will help to influence the colors and materials you use in the room.
