Do you have to sacrifice comfort for style? While many people think so, you certainly do not! Some rooms make you feel comfortable as soon as you enter them, this has a lot to do with not only how soft the furniture is or the choice of decor but the placement as well.

Choosing Your Furniture

Although a trip to the flea market may find you a fabulous end table you can refinish or the perfect garden statue you have been looking for, there are some pieces that you don’t want to skimp on like your sofa or bed. You are not required to break the bank on these purchases but you certainly should make sure that they fill your needs as far as comfort and style go. One quality investment piece can go a long way in a room!

Consider Placement

Before you buy that stunning sofa or dining room table, it is a good idea to take measurements in the showroom or use those that are provided online and map out where that piece of furniture will go in your room. You can lay down a rope outline, use rolled towels or whatever else you have handy, just make sure that it fits your space. An item that is not the appropriate size can cause a room to become uncomfortable quite quickly.

The ideal home where people want to gather is stylish and comfortable, you can easily achieve this by thinking through your choices and making sure that they fit the room properly.

This three-leged accent chair, also called "smiling chair", was originally designed by Danish modernist Hans J. Wegner. It achieves a floating lightness due its wing-like seat and the arching curves of its tapered legs. Although it stands on three legs, it's very stable and comfortable.

About Hans J. Wegner

Hans J. Wegner, (April 2, 1914 - January 26, 2007), was a successful Danish Furniture designer who contributed to the international popolarity of mid-century Danish design. His work belongs to a modernist school with emphasis on functionality. He is probably best known for his chairs. The "Peacock" chair, with a slatted back rest fanning out to evoke the bird's plume, was inspired by the traditional "Windsor" chair. His folding chair was made to be hung on the wall, and his "Shell" chair experimented with curving the wood in three dimensions to from the seat. His belief that "a chair should be beautiful from all sides and angles" is especially evident with his shell chair. He also stated that, "the chair does not exist. The good chair is a task one is never completely done with."
