One of the newest innovations in home sofa design is the development of the U-shaped couch. This piece is unique in the way that it broadens the concepts of interior design. Here are three important factors you should be familiar with.

Proportion

Proportion defines how space is used and how traffic moves. This is an important step in establishing a certain flow to your space. The principles of scale and proportion ensure that objects placed in a space look like they belong to each other. Be it the size, dimension, shape or color of the objects, harmony should be established between them and a proportion has to be maintained. For example, a high ceiling environment implies that high rise furniture should be preferred over low-rise furniture like ottomans. Also, understuffed pillows would make a big sofa look empty and under-accessorized, thus disrupting the harmony and proportion that is supposed to exist.

Balance

Distribution of elements is key to forming a friendly and
inviting space. The principle of balance refers to the ordered distribution of
elements of equal visual weight to achieve a visual equilibrium. Balance is only
achieved when the visual weight of the elements is evenly distributed along a
central axis or point that can be both real and imaginary. Balance can be
achieved by three popular ways namely Symmetrical, Asymmetrical and Radial. In
Symmetrical, a space is divided into two equal halves centered on a central
axis and both the halves are equally compensated to give out a calm feel to the
living space. In Asymmetrical, any odd number of elements can be used by
keeping an imaginary central axis as the focal point.

Contrast

Contrast refers to the difference in the luminance or color of objects that differentiates them from one another. In interior design, contrast can be achieved by three elements namely color, form and space. One can use pillows or prints of two opposite colors like black and white to achieve contrast and make an object distinguishable. Contrast can also be achieved by combining two or more forms; for example, one can combine a circular mirror and a rectangular sofa to balance and distribute the attention between both the items. One can also achieve contrast in a living space by dividing the available space efficiently into usable positive and negative spaces.

Having a professional team set up your space for you is a great way to beat the stress of moving or renovating your home. Here are two great reasons to let us do the heavy lifting.

Design

Even if you think you know the best spots to put your new home furniture, it can be hard to determine the right placement until you see the pieces in your space and how they fit. Even then, it can still be challenging to figure out the best arrangement for the furniture based on how the space is used, partner feedback, the size of the space, and the personalities that will be utilizing it. With a professional team, however, you’ll gain valuable insights from experienced installers who know how to optimize a space based on your unique needs.

Efficiency and Safety

Installing furniture in your home can be an incredibly time-consuming task and take valuable hours away from your work. Installations can also be disruptive to people who are working from home, resulting in lost productivity. But with professional installation, you’ll have your living room back up and running and functioning optimally in no time. While it may not seem that difficult to install your new furniture, if you trust yourself to do the job, you risk damage to the pieces or improper set-up that could result in injuries to you or your new furniture. That’s why it’s best to hire specially-trained furniture installers who have the proper tools and knowledge to assemble and arrange your pieces correctly so you can be reassured in your space.

When looking for your next piece of furniture it is important to consider the grade of leather being used. Having thick, high quality leather will mean your furniture will last for years.

Full-Grain

The best quality leather is often considered to be full grain leather. This means that the leather has not been sanded or buffed in any way, leaving the original thickness of the skin. Keeping all of the leather’s grain makes it stronger, and more resistant to weather and wearing over time. This leather is often used for high end hand bags, furniture, and footwear.

Top-Grain

This type of leather is the most commonly used on consumer goods like handbags, wallets, and other accessories. It has minor imperfections removed and is thinner, making it easier to work with. This type of leather has been sanded and given a finish to make to smooth to the touch.

Suede

Often used for luxury footwear, suede is the napped surface
of the underside of the skin. While suede is soft and feels nice, it can be
vulnerable to the elements and can be damaged by exposure to water or other
liquids. Because cowhide is very thick, goat and lambskin are usually used to
make suede.

Genuine Leather

This type of leather is often confused for full or top grain
leather due to its name, however it is standard quality. Genuine leather has
had an artificial grain applied to its surface and is sprayed with dye or stain
to give it a more natural appearance.

Bonded Leather

Bonded leather s the lowest quality of leather available.
This type of leather is made by shredding scraps of leather into a pulp, which
is bonded together using artificial chemicals. There Is usually no way of
telling how much is leather-pulp and how much is chemical.
