As you get into the adulthood and start to fill up your house instead of the dollhouse, you’ll need comprehensive guides on buying things. You will begin the journey to furniture shops—maybe home furniture Yogyakarta, if you live in Indonesia—for chairs and tables that fit the theme and last longer than your lifetime. There are a lot to consider in crafting home interiors; basic rules, color scheme, matching theme, and many things else. In this article, we won’t dwell on the aesthetic. We will be focusing on five basic rules on furniture planning to get it right.
Fit the Home Furniture Yogyakarta to Buy with Your Lifestyle
When you look it from the surface, furniture planning might look like taking the base form one’s taste. But it’s certainly more than that. Furniture is always about function. That means you have to put its ergonomic value above everything else. Think how the home furniture Yogyakarta suits your personal preference and family lifestyle. Do you need sleeper sofa in the family room for late night TV time? Do you often welcome lots of guest at the same time? You might want to buy longer coffee tables than small-yet-aesthetic one. Do your family often stay long in the dining room which, hence, require “three hour chairs”? Consider the family habits and lifestyle to find the right home furniture that fits it all.
Know the Woods on Every Home Furniture Yogyakarta
For centuries, home furniture Yogyakarta is famous for using solid teakwood that stands against time. It’s so common to finds tables, chairs, cupboards, and even beds from grandma’s house at the house of recent generations. That is to said, solid woods can be very expensive, but they are highly susceptible to weather, scratches, water rigs, and humidity that can wear them off. Beside solid wood, you have veneers and composite wood for other options. Veneers are made form inexpensive woods for the base which later is covered with thin layers of better-quality woods. It’s not the best, but it got deals for the price. Composite woods are made of a mix of wood pulp, resin, and plastics. It’s the cheapest of all furniture options—but you get what you pay. Composite woods are known to break easily or have the hole for the joints widened over time.
Seeing It in Catalogue? Check the Dimensions
If you are browsing for home furniture Yogyakarta from a catalogue, make sure you check the dimension. Do measure the front door and elevator to ensure your furniture can make it to the house. Make plans of furniture’s positions on the floor so you know how much space you need between the TV and the sofa. Know the exact space you need for the cupboard in the bedroom and how much space you are willing to compromise for it. You don’t want the bed and the cupboard to bump to each other. Measurement and positioning arrangement is very important especially if you live on small home.
Avoid Furnitures with Nails and Glues
Home furniture in Yogyakarta is known for its stability, durability, and strength. The last thing you want is having furnitures with nails and glue. They won’t last very long. Make sure you are always looking for joined woods at the ends and corners. Joined woods are way studier than the nailed one, and the structure allows it to take more weight.
