Furniture Options
Selecting the correct furniture for your living area is a key factor in maximizing the space created, this can be done by correctly measuring and understanding the size of the furniture to suit the room. The measurements you will need to know are the Width, Height, and Depth. Furniture that is overly large in a small room will take up more space and create a cluttered atmosphere. It is also important that the furniture you place in your room doesn’t obstruct the flow of entrance and exits, while also allowing for light to enter the room. Another factor that must be considered is that the furniture placed in the room should have a working function. A way to avoid clutter and maximize space is to use your wall space in floating shelving and vertical storage options. Combining open and closed storage options is both modern and stylish which allows you to create display options with books/ feature pieces, while also using the covered shelves for more practical items. This can be replicated with glass-paneled display cases that are paired with being timeless and are a great way to maximize space as they enhance the visibility of products. The design is space-saving as the frame is less chunky or cumbersome so as not to obstruct a person’s view. With this, it is a great use of counter space as an additional display area and the added placement of mirror-back will make the space look twice as full and bright.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additional Features
Furniture that serves more than one purpose through the use of hidden storage options such as hidden drawers and lifting storage ottomans. This creates a space to put blankets or other items that may clutter the living room area. Sofas that have these options can be created with the sofa modular range which will also allow you to find a sofa of the correct measurements. Additionally, Sofas that have extra seating options such as The Larry corner sofa bed come with two footstools that can be stored in the Larry’s armrest. This creates pull-out seating that can be used for guests when needed and then put neatly away when not. This slide-in storage can also be found in duo coffee tables such as the Athens Round Coffee Table, a set that includes two tables that add a bold dash of urban appeal when paired together in a tiered effect. They can be separated or placed together when needed.
