Make A Statement With Furniture

Boring furniture is everywhere and it’s easy to buy. People often find themselves purchasing the plain suite with the intention of ‘jazzing’ it up with a few throw cushions.

I challenge you to be brave and to create statement furniture in your home. It’s easy to create a WOW piece of furniture, and this can do so much for your room. Here are some tips to help get you started.

     1. Colour – What is a colour that brings you so much joy? Easy, cover your suite, an armchair or an ottoman in a fabric of that colour.
     2. Accessories – Keep your accessories a little more understated to let the furniture sing!
     3. Lighting – Whether it’s natural or artificial, ensure that your furniture is well lit. Pendant lighting hung directly over a suite can look absolutely stunning. HOWEVER – if you’re placing your furniture close to a window, make sure that your                upholstery fabric has a lightfastness rating of 5 or above on the Blue Wool Scale. You don’t want your lovely new furniture fading within 6 months!
     4. Let your creativity flow – don’t let yourself get too restricted by your original design direction. Try to let go of your own guidelines a little – this is where the magic can happen!

Our New Zealand made range of furniture can be upholstered in ANY FABRIC OF YOUR CHOICE. And with over 1000 upholstery fabrics to choose from, you can go wild! Simply choose your frame, determine your size, select the fabric and wait for the joyus moment this piece of bespoke furniture arrives at your home.
