When you first started furnishing your home, you probably accepted whatever furniture would fit in your space and wasn’t too hideous. The result is a mishmash of second-hand furniture gifted to you by friends and family or bought on the cheap from yard sales or online marketplaces. While you can get some great pieces this way, it’s not exactly a way to create a cohesive look in your home. Once you’re settled into your home and can afford some new furniture, it’s time to start making more deliberate choices. Ordering custom furniture—even for something as simple as bar stools—can help create a more unified look in your home.
Here are a few tips to make your new custom furniture—including bat stools—match the look of your home.
Pick One Element
There’s no reason to redecorate your entire house just because you’re buying a few pieces of new furniture. However, you do want to make sure that everything in your home—or at least in each room—goes together. To keep the space cohesive without being overly “matchy-matchy,” select one element for your custom furniture. Pull a color or material from another element of your furnishings to create a common thread.
Choose Matching Materials
Although you don’t want everything to match perfectly, choosing the same materials for your furniture will give your home a cohesive look. For example, if your kitchen flows into your living room, and your end tables and kitchen table and chairs are all wood, chrome bar stools will look out of place. But if mismatched is your style, go for whatever you want! At Chair Fair, we have hundreds of options in stock and even more choices for our custom furniture.
Craft a Theme
Having a theme for your kitchen or living room isn’t quite as intense as a theme for a kid’s birthday party or even bedroom. (Dinosaurs or Frozen, anyone?) We’re talking about a stylistic theme, such as industrial, mid-century modern, art deco, or boho chic. Even if your personal style doesn’t neatly fit into a decor category, choosing items that feel like they go together will create a loose theme for your space.
