Home Furniture

Every one of us desires a comfortable space or corner to sink in after the day’s work and chores. Stretching on a recliner in front of your television set with a hot cup of coffee is the perfect scenario to imagine after a tiring day. Reclining sofas are a great piece of furniture to completely unwind after a hectic day, during a stressful phase, or simply relax. Reclining sofas allow for complete rest in an almost horizontal posture. If you are someone who is a Friends fan, then you might have certainly fancied buying the recliners that Joey and Chandler had bought. But, the question arises, how do you choose a recliner or on what factors does the choice depend upon. Following are a few points that should be kept in mind while looking for reclining sofas –
<ol>
<li>Requirement and preference Checklist</li>
</ol>
Drafting a checklist of your requirements and preferences is the first step that will help you decide on the right reclining sofa for you. There is a massive variety in the reclining sofas, depending on the features, seating capacity (single-seater, double seater, or triple seater), mechanism, fabric, style, lumbar support, storage, so on and so forth. To not get confused with the variety of choices one gets in the market today, a preference checklist is an important step to consider.
<ol>
<li>Style</li>
</ol>
Like any other element reclining sofas are also available across an array of styles – traditional, modern, chic, rustic, etc. One should be mindful of the style of recliner your spaces would complement and vice versa.
<ol>
<li>Space availability and dimensions</li>
</ol>
Space availability is an important aspect when considering a reclining sofa, therefore, take note of the room size and existing furniture before taking a look at your options. With reclining sofas, it is important to take note of the space availability especially to allow for the open ability of the recliner. At this point, one should plan the placement of the recliner too.
Not just the room dimensions, the dimensions of the sofa matter too. Therefore, it is advised to measure the sofa according to your requirements and fit before buying it.
<ol>
<li>Framework</li>
</ol>
The framework is the main structural element of a reclining sofa. The material and the joints used to make the recliner will determine the overall strength and load-bearing capacity. Therefore, one must look into the materials (wood, plastic, metal, etc.) used to make the recliner in addition to the type of joinery and hardware used.
<ol>
<li>Padding</li>
</ol>
One should ensure that the reclining sofa should be adequately padded for your comfort. In addition to the density of the foam, it is imperative to check whether the reclining sofa is completely padded or not. It is important to note the type and location of cushioning provided in the recliner following your desired comfort and support.
<ol>
<li>Upholstery – Colour and material</li>
</ol>
The Colour and material of the upholstery are equally important and should correspond with the personal requisites. One the colour and fabric should complement the language of the other elements in a space, second, the material of upholstery should be such that it delivers maximum comfort.
Several materials are being used for upholstering the reclining sofa vis-à-vis leather, leatherette, velvet, microfiber, linen, so on and so forth. While the material choice is being made, the finish should also be kept in mind.
<ol>
<li>Type of Operations</li>
</ol>
Reclining sofas offer two types of operations – manual and automatic. Based on personal preferences, one can choose to go for either of the two. Most importantly, one should check for the smooth functioning of the controls.
<ul>
<li>Manual – The recliner operates in conjunction with the weight of the person sitting on it with the help of elements such as a pocket spring.</li>
<li>Automatic or Electric – The recliner operates with a push or pull of a button or lever, with the aid of electricity. However, in case of the absence of power, the recliner can also be operated manually.</li>
</ul>
To help you in making a choice, the following are the 10 best reclining sofa options to consider for ultimate comfort –

A dining table is an integral part of our being. In most homes, at least two meals a day are served on the dining table. Besides the meals, the dining table allows everyone to eat and enjoy their meals together and celebrate them. It is a perfect element in any home that can bring all the members together, even in this time-crunched era. There are innumerable options available in the market today across various tastes, materials and ranges. One needs to be a little mindful of the market trends and personal needs while choosing a dining table online. A few pointers that should be kept in mind while narrowing down your choices are –
<ol>
<li>Personal Requirements</li>
</ol>
One should be wary of the requirements pertaining to the dining table. Clarity regarding the requirements helps in selecting the ideal dining table for a space.
<ol>
<li>Budget</li>
</ol>
The budget is one of the most important aspects to consider or allocate, as it sets the spending capacity. There are numerous options available for every budget. This would further determine the quality of materials and finishes.
<ol>
<li>Space Availability</li>
</ol>
The style and pattern of a dining table should be chosen in conjunction with the space availability. One should be aware of the space that is available and the concurrent layout.
<ol>
<li>Capacity Required</li>
</ol>
The capacity of the table or the number of seats that the table can accommodate would be determined based on the number of members. The capacity of the table would further determine the dimensions of the table thus linking it with the requirements and space availability.
<ol>
<li>Materials and Finishes Preferred + Maintenance Requirements</li>
</ol>
One should be clear about the materials that one should prefer. Some people fancy solid wood while some people like lightweight engineered wood. The material preferences for the tabletop could vary from transparent to opaque, gloss to matte, tonal variations etc. The material and finish choices would also determine the degree of maintenance required.
<ol>
<li>Language of the Decor of the Space</li>
</ol>
The language of the table should be in sync with the language of the decor of the space in question and the adjoining spaces. The language would be determined by the materials and finishes used, the motifs or any extraordinary craftsmanship employed.
These according to me are six factors that should be very clear in one's head before finalizing the dining table. In addition, beware of the current market trends by conducting market surveys and research. To help you kick start the process, the following are the 10 best dining tables that you can buy online –

Sleep and relaxation are important aspects of a human’s life, thereby making sleep synonymous with comfortable beds. Beds form an integral part of a person’s sleep cycle and sleep experience. After a long day of work, if you have that perfect bed to sink in and relax, it is like a cherry on top of the cake! When it comes to selecting a bed, there are various preferences that people have. The preferences are based upon the materials used, size, presence of a headboard, storage options, so on and so forth. The list can be endless! While it is an important element in a bedroom, the choice of bed is not apt all the time. Many people find themselves in a pickle while finding a suitable bed for their room. To help you in making a choice, the following are a few pointers that should be kept in mind –
<ol>
<li>Clear Preferences</li>
</ol>
One needs to chalk out clear personal preferences when choosing a bed. The personal preferences can depend on factors as follows –
<ul>
<li>Material Preferences:</li>
</ul>
Beds can be made of a variety of materials. Some common materials include solid wood (Mango, Sheesham, teak, etc.), MDF, plywood, carbon steel, wrought iron, etc. Based on the personal bent for materials and the aesthetics, the choice for the bed can be made.
<ul>
<li>Storage:</li>
</ul>
Provision for storage would also determine the type of bed one chooses. Three types of storage solutions are available with the beds –
<ul>
<li>Headboard storage</li>
<li>Bed Box</li>
<li>Side tables</li>
<li>Headboard requirements</li>
</ul>
The type of headboard and thereby the back support one aspires is an important step of charting your personal preferences. Headboards could be solid – flat or curved, tufted, integrated with shelves, etc. The possibilities are endless when it comes to headboard types and design.
<ul>
<li>Style and Design</li>
</ul>
Everyone has a personal taste when it comes to style and design, therefore, thorough research should be done regarding this aspect to narrow down on your style and design preferences.
<ol>
<li>Budget</li>
</ol>
Budget plays an important role when it comes to deciding on a bed. The budget would determine the options one can go in for. Therefore, a thorough market survey and research should be conducted before setting up a budget.
<ol>
<li>Space Availability and Size</li>
</ol>
Consider the space that is available in your room which in turn would determine the size of the bed. The room size and the layout of the room along with the other elements would be a deciding factor for choosing a bed.
<ol>
<li>Storage Mechanism (if storage considered)</li>
</ol>
In the case of storage, one can decide on the type of mechanism the bed offers. For instance, in the case of the bed box, there are a lot of variations available such as a hydraulic mechanism, drawers, hinges, etc. In this case, do consider the quality of hardware used in the mechanism.
In line with these factors, the following is our pick of the top 10 ergonomic office chairs for an architect –
