Couch Searching

Selecting the perfect seating arrangement for your home can be challenging, especially with all the fun options that Mid Century Modern style offers. Here are a few tips to guide you during your couch hunt.

GET A FIRM GRASP ON THE SPACE. Measure the room you’re furnishing so that you know exactly how much area you have to deal with, and then measure your current furniture to determine what limitations or opportunities you might have with new pieces. Consider drawing up a scaled sketch of the room and playing with rearranging your furniture, if that’s on the table.

KNOW YOUR STYLE. Before purchasing something new ( or new to you), make sure you already have an idea of what does and does not “go” with the rest of your décor. Figuring this out will greatly help you narrow your search and give you an idea of where to begin.

CONSIDER FUNCTIONALITY. Take into account how you use your room. If you host a lot of parties and family functions, you might want to look at pieces that move easily or can hold more people. If you have small children, that can play a factor in what kind of material you’ll need.

MAKE THE MONEY WORK. Finding a piece that truly lights up your home is priceless. If you’re on a tight budget, look for ways to save on other pieces in your home. With all the fun shapes and colors of mid mod design, remember that your couch can be a statement piece.
