If you have your heart set on a particular style, color, or theme, it might be hard to find just the right living room furniture sets for sale. Luckily, thanks to our ever-expanding global digital marketplace, you can find just about any piece of living room you want, without having to purchase the entire furniture set.
Before you start mixing and matching items, consider these tips for pulling it all together.
Your first task is to decide on a focal point.
Every room should have a point of focus from which the rest of the decor blossoms. For many the sofa is this piece, simply because it is the largest in the room. But a stunning antique mirror, fireplace with scrolled moldings, or other eye-catching piece can work as well. From this focal point you’ll determine the style and colors that you want to use.
Gently contrasting colors is good, but don’t get carried away.
It gives a room character to have slightly contrasted colors throughout the decor. But these contrasts should be subtle rather than blatant, unless you’re going for an art deco look. For example, if you’re using a muted pastel green, don’t contrast it with a neon lava lamp. This is, of course, an extreme example, but you get the idea.
Don’t be afraid to use a mix of solids and prints…
When you buy complete living room furniture sets for sale, you get one fabric throughout the set. One of the best things about mixing and matching from various brands and collections is that you can add some variety to your decor. It gives you a chance to really show off your personality.
On that note, you don’t want to get carried away here either. Stripes and polka dots never match. Stripes and prints rarely blend well either. But a variety of stripes offset with solids can be very pleasing.
…but when it comes to upholstery mix textures with care.
A furry ottoman really doesn’t belong in a room dominated by leather accent chairs or a stone fireplace. Although you can mix some textures, like a microfiber sofa with a cotton chaise, you don’t want to make the contrast too dramatic.
You’re going to get the best selection when you buy online.
You could drive all over your state searching in antique malls, estate sales, flea markets, and furniture stores and never find the right furniture pieces. But you can go online to a living room furniture outlet and purchase a wider variety of pieces, usually without delivery fees.
Buy all of your furniture from one large furniture outlet online.
Even if you use Pinterest or other sites to find ideas, you should try to buy furniture online from one retailer for simplicity. If anything doesn’t work out or gets damaged in shipping, you don’t want the hassle of figuring out which items came from which stores. When you buy furniture online you can get everything in one place.
