Whether you are building a new home and need to furnish it or are refurnishing an existing home, shopping for home décor is an exciting opportunity to let your personal style shine. Or maybe it’s just time to update that room with furniture you’ve had since before you could remember. You know the furniture we’re talking about. Grandma’s sofa or that reclining chair that has long since seen better days. Home décor in West Palm Beach combines the perfect mixture of timeless classic and the hottest and latest trends. Sure, shopping for an entire home or refurnishing a few rooms can be overwhelming. So our advice is to make a list and check it twice. But wait! There might be a few pieces of furniture you’re forgetting. Let us help you make your list right the first time with these three pieces of furniture you’re forgetting to buy.

Mirrored Dresser

We know that when shopping for bedroom furniture in any West Palm Beach store, it’s not always feasible to have a large dresser. Of course, you have to have somewhere to put your clothes. Additionally, if you are pressed for space, using mirrors is a great way to really open up a room. Mirrors are great because they make a room appear bigger than it really is. Except, when you are pressed for space, having a large mirror and a large dresser doesn’t always make sense. Even if there is room, sometimes people will prefer ample floor space to crowded floor space. That’s why we love the mirrored dresser. It combines mirrors and space to organize clothing. Big or small, classic or trendy, there’s a mirrored dresser for every bedroom and every style. We also have mirrored dressers for children’s rooms as well. These are ideal since having mirrors on the floor could potentially be a hazard to playing children.

The Ottoman

Perhaps it’s more of an accessory than necessarily a piece of furniture, however, the ottoman is an extremely important piece. Why might you ask? Well, we’re happy to tell you. First, ottomans make great alternatives to large chairs or sectionals when space is limited. People can sit on them, rest their drinks or plates on them, and the best part is anyone can put their feet up on one. Also, ottomans can also act as additional hidden storage space for homes that are tight on space. Ottomans come in all shapes, colors, sizes, and materials. Our favorites are the leather storage ottomans. We suggest keeping blankets, extra pillows, movies, and reading materials inside. A living room isn’t really complete with a place to put your feet up now, is it?

Server and Hutch

This is a piece of furniture most people don’t think about needing. However, a server and hutch is a great way to not only add a special touch to your dining room but to also have extra storage. A large server and hutch can hold wine bottles, wine glasses, crystal, and other fine glassware and delicate items that are not normally used every day or are mostly for display. Additionally, servers can hold fine spirits and make for a great makeshift bar on a holiday or special occasion party. This piece of furniture can be used as a focal point in the dining room and can make for a great conversation piece. Wine, spirits, and liquor are not the only thing we suggest storing there.

With the unique building plans in modern construction, choosing the perfect sofa for your living room can take some careful consideration and planning to ensure that the sofa fits the space in the room well and there will still be adequate space in between for the family to comfortably move around the living room. From the lighting in the room to consider the sofa and measurements and the placement in relation to where the family television is positioned and the space available on the wall the sofa is placed against if a wall is being used, there are details that have to be considered. Of all of the furniture stores in South Florida, Badcock Furniture makes sure that they can always offer you a variety of options to ensure a pleasurable experiencing when customizing your living space.

Lighting

When considering the perfect sofa for your living room in South Florida, it is important to know ahead of time what wall your television will be placed on in relation to where the light comes in the room. If the light comes in a window behind you and faces the television, you will not want your main sofa to have their back to the window. This will cause the light to bounce off of the television and fade out the picture on the television screen making it hard to see when watching television in the daylight hours. Badcock Furnishing also covers a wide selection of home décor in South Florida such as end tables and accessory lamps to complete your look and add extra light in areas where needed.

Type of sofa and Measurements

Sofas come in many different shapes, styles, and sizes with different patterns and fabrics. Taking measurements of your living room beforehand can help you to determine the size and shape that will best suit your living area. For example, wrap around sofas are great and can be a favorite when paired with a matching ottoman, but if the room is small, you may want to consider buying two or three separate pieces. This will allow you to move them closer together and create more space if needed for parties or occasions. Depending on the room colors, it would also be nice to coordinate that patterns you chose in your sofa so that room comes together well. Different fabrics are good for different environments as well. Leather couches are usually better for hotter climates and repelling pet hair. Upholstered couches can also be nice as they tend to be plusher, but can be warmer in the summer months.

Placement and Television and Wall Space

Strategically placing your television in relation to where you will have your sofas placed is smart to consider before setting up the television in your room. You will want to have a clear, unobstructed view of the television from all of your sitting areas if possible. You could also consider making the television flexible in case you need to turn it to face a particular sofa. You want to make sure the sun will not shine directly behind your sofa and towards the television blocking out your television picture. You will also want to leave adequate room between sofas if you will need to be walking between and around them. Considering these things in your sofa placement will ensure a comfortable living space. Lastly, you will want to know the length of the walls that you will be placing the sofa on to ensure that your sofa is not longer than the length of the wall.
