30 Jul Things to consider when choosing furniture for your home
Decorating your home can be a daunting task. You are full of ideas and are keen to get started but don’t quite know where to start.
Choosing the right furniture for every room is crucial and should be given careful consideration. The image you want to project, the effective use of available space, style, durability and budget are at play when deciding on the type of furniture you are going to buy.
At AALTO Exclusive Furniture, our in-house design team can design and create furniture of varying dimensions to accommodate your needs. We take great care in producing exclusive high quality furniture that is stylish, functional and long lasting.
Personal Style
Your unique sense of style will determine what type of furniture you choose. Furniture speaks volumes about your personality. It sends a clear message of who you are and your overall attitude to life. You might want to live in a home that oozes sophistication or you might be more inclined to prioritise comfort over style. Either way, it is important to determine beforehand the character and feel you want to recreate in every room.
To get some ideas you can look through our AALTO Exclusive Furniture online catalogue where you’ll find a variety of beautifully designed furniture, or you can visit our showroom in Marbella.

Function
Before deciding on the furniture you are going to buy, you should consider the purpose of every room. This is essential in determining the type of furniture you are going to need; after all, you don’t want a room to be overcrowded or to be so minimalist that you can’t use the space to its full potential. As you select the pieces that you want to have in every room you should ask yourself some basic questions, such as: Am I going to entertain large groups of people? Do I want to create a quiet spot to relax whilst enjoying the view? Do I want to have an area for the children? Am I going to allow my pets in this room? And so on.
The whole design could be centred on a piece of furniture that defines the function of the room with all additional furnishings arranged in such a way that your attention is always drawn to the main focal point
Ballance
Creating a sense of balance is also important. The right balance can be achieved by effective distribution of the furniture in a room. The overall visual effect should be pleasant and create a sense of balance and harmony. Think about what would happen if most of the furniture in a room was concentrated in one area. It is important to consider the size and visual weight of every piece of furniture and to combine larger pieces with smaller ones. Colour and material could also affect the way a piece is perceived. Don’t be afraid to experiment and move furniture around. It is also important to look at the room from different perspectives to be able to appreciate it as a whole.

Flow of movement
Finally, how do you want people to move around the room? This is similar to establishing pathways within the room and this should be done taking into account its function. For instance, if you are planning to entertain frequently at home you need to make sure your furniture arrangement will facilitate interaction rather than making it difficult or hard work. Your guests should be able to have visual contact at all times and personal space must be respected. People should also be able to move freely without disturbing other people in the process.
To achieve this, you should try to send movement around seating groups and not through them, and remember to leave enough space so that people can stand between seating and tables. At AALTO Exclusive Furniture, we have a wide range of exclusive furniture to suit a variety of different styles and tastes. Our high quality and durable materials together with our individual designs and high quality manufacturing, make all our products unique.
