Modern furniture for a new decade

It is perfectly understandable, for a homeowner to constantly reassess their home and design layout in order to find a little room for renewal. Even for people who usually feel inclined towards exceptional, timeless classics, or even personalized pieces of furniture, it sure is fun and refreshing to experiment with new trends and give your home a facelift. I usually look at this more as a chance of weeding out things that no longer serve my needs or things that get outdated for my taste.

A great piece of seating can really redefine your home, changing the overall look of the space. In a way, it is all about getting just the right piece for you, the way it complements your home will be an extension of your personality.

Let us talk about all the seating alternatives you can consider to get your groove on.

Sectional Sofas

It is safe to say that in this decade, conventional sofas are totally outdated. You’ll find that people nowadays prefer buying one piece of sofa and match it with different seating options, this not only brings an amazing style to your home, but it also helps with the issue of limited spacing in the living room. They are immensely comfortable and a cozy place for napping (this really does count if you’re much of the falling-asleep-in-front-of-television sort of a person).

Wing Chairs

Wing chairs have become increasingly popular these days, you’ll find people migrating from the idea of investing in accent wall décor, artwork, centrepieces etc. to accent chairs. These chairs don’t just bring a bit of fashion statement with them, but are very easy to arrange. You can arrange these in any room, big or small, without overhauling the layout, it simply doubles as a pillar of style, adds comfort and accessibility to your space.

Master Chairs

These are just what you need for your “me-time”. If you’re someone who loves a cozy corner which would be your “me-zone”, you should really get yourself these chairs. They are small and cozy, hence can be placed anywhere you’d want, you can create a flawless reading nook, relax and unwind.

Love Seats

I find the name simply adorable J But as the name suggests, these are just the right size to accommodate two, although interestingly, loveseats were meant for women so that they could be seated comfortably with their gowns and huge dresses that take up quite a lot of space. These come in numerous designs and patterns, you can even customize them as per your preference. That said, they are a good choice for compact spaces and proportions.

Glider Chairs

Glider chairs basically are the newer versions of our much loved rocking chairs. Ideally, they are a very good pick for bedrooms or even baby rooms, since they are immensely comfortable and very durable, hence a good choice for pregnant women, new moms and elder ones at home. The ideal pick would be to pair this with a pouf or ottoman.

Poufs

These are really popular these days, and frankly, keep popping up everywhere. They are easy to arrange, rearrange, they easily fit absolutely anywhere, and have multiple uses. They are great for family rooms or recreational rooms, you can use them for seating, or resting your feet while you relax and unwind on a chair or a sofa, or even as a side table for keeping stuff.

It’s time you start browsing and shortlisting your picks, look at the collection online, even schedule visits to a few retail outlets so that you can check the quality and comfort, you should also go through my blog do’s and don’ts of buying furniture, it would help you go about it the right way. I would also to suggest, actually, I urge you to check the materials you’re purchasing while buying any furniture, and opt for sustainable materials. I believe it is important that each and every one of us become ecologically conscious and knowledgeable. I’m sure you’d feel a lot better about yourself if you brought home a piece of furniture which is not made of material that is harmful to our environment J Happy shopping to you.
