How to Choose the Right Lounge Chair

Posted on April 24, 2012 by admin


There’s a difference between a lounge chair and the “right” lounge chair. A lounge chair comforts, but the “right” lounge chair comforts soothingly and makes you feel adored. The right lounge chair is the one that makes you feel it was made for you and you, alone!
Choosing the right lounge chair not only gets you  worth of your money, but also ensures the comfort of life. It becomes a lifelong asset as you use it to relax yourself year after year.

A lounge chair is usually larger than a normal chair. It comes with a headrest and footrest. The armrests are optional. Some have them while others don’t. Leather, wood and steel are some of the most common materials used to manufacture lounge chairs.
Lounge chairs can be placed anywhere: living room, bedroom, library, garden, patio or poolside. A lounge chair looks right in every space. I have seen people bonding with friends and family on a lounge chair. Some people like just to lie on it and relax while others use it to watch TV.

A few points to be noted before you buy the right lounge chair

How to Choose the Right Lounge Chair

•  A lounge chair usually needs a lot of space around it. It’s foolish to have your chair stacked away in a corner or by the wall. So make sure the size of the lounge chair is smaller than the free space that is available in your house.
•  Sometimes a lounge chair can be used to seat multiple people in upright position. It helps in a party or when you have large number of guests in the house.

 

•  Investing on a lounge chair is anytime profitable than buying a normal chair. The advantages of the former over the latter are obvious. So do not crib and complain even if you have to spend a few extra bucks to get that right lounge chair for yourself.
•  Choose the color and design in such a way that it blends well with your interiors. You would never want your lounge chair to look out of place. It is advisable to go for solid colors. They look sophisticated and stylish.
•  Some lounge chairs come in a classy look with ornate carvings. Others come in more urban and contemporary designs. Choosing between these two is always upon the buyer as individuals have different tastes.

What to Check While Buying Comfortable Contemporary Bedroom Furniture?

Posted on March 19, 2012 by admin


The first thing that strikes our mind when we think of bedroom furniture is a bed. Beds bring us sleep, one of the most essential needs of a healthy body. Warm, cozy and comfortable, beds make sleeping a pleasure.
Other furniture of a bedroom could vary with the needs and lifestyle of a person. Some people would keep a stitching machine while some would keep a computer system in the bedroom. A workaholic would want to have a study table in the bedroom. Depending upon these needs, bedroom furniture is planned by people in different ways.

Bedroom Furniture
Bedrooms these days have minimalist furniture. People like more spacious and clutter free bedrooms. Some of the most basic contemporary bedroom furniture includes chests of drawers, seating couch, lamp stands and wardrobes.
Drawers are available in various styles but websites like Avetex Furniture provides drawers along with the bed as a part of the bedroom furniture package. The size of the drawers depends on the number of people using the drawer.
Seating couch options vary as per taste of an individual. Ottomans are a good option these days. Their multiple utilities make them a must have. A lounge chair can also be added. Another option can be a recliner chair. For sitting upright and reclining, the chair can be used for both purposes.
Lamp stands add drama to a bedroom. They come in different colors and styles. It is always wise to choose one that blends well with the color of the walls and the furnishing.

Points to be noted
While selecting a bed for your bedroom, make sure you keep the following things in mind.
• A bed occupies most of the space in a bedroom. The first thing that people notice in a bedroom is the bed. So the size of the bed is very important. It should neither be too large nor too small. The size should reflect the size of the bedroom.
• The shape of the bed is another major point of concern. A round bed is usually avoided however when added to a small room it gives it a more spacious look. Platform beds with the Asian look are more in vogue. The queen size is preferred as it is neither too large as the king nor too small.
• The sideboards on a queen size bed can be used for additional seating.
• The headboard of the bed shouldn’t be too high.
• Beds with side lighting are fashionably added to bedrooms these days. They give a more contemporary feel to the entire room.

Some amazing furniture for your bedroom
Several websites provide bedroom furniture but the one stop solution for all your needs ends with Avetex Furniture. Some of its amazing models are:
• Avlon white remote adjustable bed uses separate remote controls to adjust its headboard and cushions. It has a sturdy body and comes with additional side lights.
• The Capri bedroom by the ALF group comes with drawers, side tables and dressers. It’s done fully in wood with a walnut finish. It has been exclusively made in Italy.
There are many more tempting models available on the site but I do not want to spoil the fun by revealing them all here. So hurry up and start browsing!

Before buying a dining table one must have one’s needs and wants clearly chalked out. Size of the table should be few inches smaller than the space available. Square or round tables are best for small space. Round table encourages healthy conversations and can seat extra people sometimes.

•    Size is the utmost point of concern. Since we are considering a small dining area here, the size of the table must be smaller than the space available. There must be ample space around the table for movement and keeping the chairs.
•    For small space rectangular tables must be avoided. Stick to circular or square shapes. The advantage to having a circular dining table is that some extra chairs can be added around when needed.                                            •    It is wise to opt for chairs without arms in case of small space. The legs of the chairs must be straight and not curved or tapered. This helps in saving space and prevents the area from appearing cramped.
•    Having a mirror on one of the walls in the dining area helps give the room a spacious look. Try and keep the table as far away from the walls as possible. It saves the dining space from that cramped look.
•    Extra care must be taken while choosing the material of the table top. Wood, glass, metal are a few options. Tables with black and tinted glass top are also available

Some models that you would never want to miss
