Tip 1 : Find unique furniture
If you want to give character to your rooms, nothing beats unique and original furniture. These are central pieces that will create a real atmosphere.
Opt for unique pieces such as hand-made furniture. You can also find slightly older furniture, to bring a touch of authenticity and personality to your home. Nowadays, we tend to always buy the same type of furniture, without a real personality.
Let's take an example with one of the most popular pieces of furniture, the dressing room. This piece is a real asset for your decor if it is unique and matches your personality and your interior. So prefer for a real custom dressing room, which will be modular and customizable as desired.
Remember that a unique piece is uniquely present in your home. Not only does it bring charisma to your decor, but it is also very original. It is ideal for telling a story.
Tip 2 : Place the right furniture in the right place
Managing your space is important. You need to find the right balance between optimization and pleasant aesthetics.
So start by measuring the available space in your rooms. This will prevent you from buying furniture that is the wrong size. Also, many people overload their rooms. You have to be able to judge when there is too much furniture, keep it simple.
Consider the decoration style : maritime ? Modern ? Industrial ? Scandinavian ? Contemporary ? In any case, your furniture must harmonize with the style and colors.
Besides, this makes a great segue into our next tip…
Tip 3 : Play with colors
The color of furniture can have a significant impact on the mood of a room. Some colors will create a warm space, others rather modern, old, etc.
Here are some tips to help you create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing space. :
- Choose one consistent color palette. Generally speaking, it is best to have a maximum of three colors, two of which are dominant. In addition, these colors must harmonize well with each other. We avoid questionable mixtures (yellow and pink for example) and we favor beautiful combinations (blue and white for example).
- Use furniture as central parts. As we have seen before, these central pieces set the tone. In a living room, it is the sofa that reigns supreme. So opt for one of the two dominant colors for this piece of furniture. A blue sofa next to a white wall is, for example, a good choice.
- You can also play with the natural light.If your room gets a good amount of natural light, you can afford to opt for brighter, more radiant colors.
The play of color remains common sense, you have to understand which colors go well together and which are incompatible.
Tip 4 : Combine your furniture with a thematic and relevant decor
As you probably know, there are plenty of other decorative elements with which you can combine your furniture.
THE painting for example, is one of the most interesting decorations to bring a room to life. We offer plenty of them on our website, grouped by category.
Depending on the style of decoration, you can choose relevant paintings. For example, let's imagine that you want to create a Zen atmosphere, a Buddha painting is a good solution.

Stay on top of style to give the shine to your decor and impress those around you. Following the latest trends in furniture and decoration can give you inspiration.
