Do s To Watch In Furnishing Home
Do purchase upholstered furniture in harmonious materials. For example colonial furniture should be covered with homespun fabrics, not damask. Choose fabrics and woods that blend with existing room colors and avoid mixing blonde maple with dark mahogany. Select furniture proportional to room size and consider room exposure for color schemes. Maintain period style when adding pieces, though mixing is allowed.
