Choosing furniture – II
Bright, intense colors and bold patterns increase visual “weight”. Muted, neutral tones and solid colors reduce visual “weight”.
When it comes to arranging prestige furniture follow these guidelines:
The shape of the sides of the piece of furniture should match the shape of the wall.
Don’t put round tables in the corner of rooms.
Avoid placing rectangular furniture at an angle to straight walls.
If the space on the wall is horizontal, a horizontally shaped piece of prestige furniture will look best there.
If the space on the wall is square, a square shaped piece of furniture will look best there.
Vary the heights of the major pieces in the room.
Spread your colors throughout the room.
