When we enter our home, we are entering a safe haven that we have built for ourselves. It’s a place where you can have a good time with your friends, play games with your kids, watch them grow, and unwind after a long and exhausting day.\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Find the best fabric according to\u00a0your needs\n\n\n\n

What to consider: Furniture that is both durable and stain-resistant is essential for large families. You don’t want to be constantly concerned about your children drinking grape juice while watching TV on the couch.\n\n\n\n

What you’ll require: Leather, mohair, denim, and wool add a sophisticated look to your garments. They can be cleaned with a vacuum or a damp cloth. You can also get a sectional sofa made of these materials to increase your seating options. However, if you prefer a more refined look, pieces made of delicate fabrics such as linen, velvet, or silk are the best choice.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Choose the location of\u00a0your furniture wisely\n\n\n\n

What to consider: If you wish to put your sofa close to a large window, the color of the fabric will eventually fade away due to direct exposure to sunlight. In this case, you will either need to find a more suitable location or choose a color or fabric that won\u2019t fade so noticeably.\n\n\n\n

What you need: Color patterns, such as gray or cream, tend to conceal the fading better, whereas darker shades will easily show the parts of the fabric that were exposed to sunlight. Also, choose natural fabrics, like cotton and wool, since they\u2019ll be less likely to fade.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Check that your furniture is\u00a0made with the most durable materials\n\n\n\n

What to consider: If you\u2019ve got small kids, then you probably know by now that your entire house is their playground. A sofa can be used as a trampoline, and fluffy pillows will be the ideal weapon in pillow fights. Try to find solid and durable furnishings constructed with hardwood.\n\n\n\n

What you need:\u00a0When choosing the right sofa, for example, make sure it\u2019s been screwed and not just glued together. If\u00a0you spend long hours together at\u00a0the dining room table,\u00a0consider\u00a0solid wood, such as\u00a0oak. It\u00a0will resist long hours of\u00a0homework, accidents that may happen at\u00a0mealtime, and any fights that may arise during a\u00a0competitive board game.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Take into account what works best for small spaces\n\n\n\n

What to\u00a0consider:\u00a0For those living in\u00a0small-ish places, choosing the right furniture can be\u00a0a\u00a0difficult endeavor. Make sure that you choose\u00a0pieces\u00a0that aren\u2019t overloaded with details.\n\n\n\n

What you need:\u00a0Pedestal tables make a\u00a0space look less visually cluttered. Sofas with visible legs or\u00a0a\u00a0chest of\u00a0drawers that\u2019s raised up\u00a0seem lighter than something that\u2019s solid all the way to\u00a0its base. Easy to\u00a0build and to\u00a0install, wall-mounted shelves are\u00a0useful\u00a0for storage as\u00a0well as\u00a0for holding decorations or\u00a0treasured mementos.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Consider your family\u2019s safety and health\n\n\n\n

What to consider: Although this is not what we immediately think about when furnishing our home, the right height or material can play an important role in our overall well-being.\n\n\n\n

What you need:\u00a0Senior citizens or\u00a0people with physical challenges might need\u00a0seating options\u00a0at\u00a0a\u00a0slightly higher height and with secure arms. Also, go\u00a0for furniture with soft corners and edges to\u00a0prevent any\u00a0injuries. Heavy drapes, rugs, and some bedding fabrics can\u00a0trigger\u00a0allergies. Get light cotton drapes or\u00a0blinds as\u00a0well as\u00a0wool comforters\u00a0when seeking out bedding options.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Bonus: what to avoid\n\n\n\n
  • Sofas and chairs with skirts: They\u00a0attract\u00a0pet hair and tend to\u00a0collect dust.\n\n\n\n
    • Fabric-covered tables: If\u00a0you\u2019ve got toddlers who are just starting to\u00a0take their first steps and need surfaces to\u00a0hold onto, then you\u2019d better\u00a0get rid of\u00a0any fabric that they may accidentally give a\u00a0tug\u00a0on. You\u2019ll be\u00a0collecting objects off the floor on\u00a0a\u00a0daily basis.\n\n\n\n
      • Precious antiques or\u00a0fragile works of\u00a0art lying around: Kids love exploring every nook and cranny of\u00a0the house. Even if\u00a0you get these items at\u00a0a\u00a0seemingly unreachable spot, they\u2019ll manage to\u00a0get their hands on\u00a0it. Apart from risking losing that precious heirloom, your\u00a0kid\u2019s safety\u00a0might be\u00a0in\u00a0jeopardy.\n\n\n\n
        • Surfaces that reveal all: Pieces of\u00a0furniture made of\u00a0glass or\u00a0that have pale colors will quickly\u00a0show\u00a0any fingerprints, spills, or\u00a0smudges.\n\n\n\n
