    Furnishing the Basement

    You've found it. The perfect sofa or sectional for the basement! It's the perfect fabric, the right colour, comfortable and the right price! BUT... Will it fit? Basements can sometimes be tricky to furnish since stairways can be narrow and steep. Don't be discouraged; there are a few methods and tricks to use, so hopefully you can find out if your sofa will fit before you leave the store! First things first: using a measuring tape, find the dimensions of the tightest space you need to navigate to get to the basement. If you have multiple entrances to the basement, like an exterior door, measure that too - it might be a little wider or easier to get through. Now, armed with those dimensions, visit the store. Find the dimensions of the sofa. You need to know the height from the floor to the highest point on the back, the depth from front to back as well as it's length from one arm to the other.

    Tips for Furnishing Big Livingroom Spaces

    The biggest challenge we face when trying to decorate a big space is how to arrange the furniture without making it look like a museum. Do bear in mind that you have to break the room into smaller areas with specific purpose.

    1. Identify the main area and it's use. If you’re dealing with a social gathering spot then establishing a seating area for conversation is your goal. Gather the sofa, centre table and ottoman then select an area rug to define your perimeter. Next, arrange these pieces on and around it. 

    It would be helpful if your large furniture has a neutral color so you can swap accent pillows and rugs whenever you want.

    Essential Considerations for a Couch and Loveseat Layout

    Have you recently purchased a couch, but aren’t quite sure how to plan the layout of your living space? The following are key considerations to keep in mind as you begin this next step in designing a layout that will work best for you. Determine Function The first step in determining the layout of your couch and loveseat is reviewing the function or purpose of the room in which the furniture will be placed. In most living rooms, TV viewing is prioritized as a primary focal point, resulting in layouts that place couches directly opposite from a television or the wall it hangs upon, with additional furniture like a love seats positioned with a comparably good view. But if you’re looking to place a couch in a basement intended for entertaining, or as added features to a master bedroom, your layout will be dependent upon differing components. In a master bedroom, a loveseat may work well in a nontraditional position such as facing the bed, placed at the end
