It's very practical to select furniture and furnishings that you could use in any room in your home. Read these tips on choosing furniture and accessory pieces that can work well in small or large rooms, offer storage, and can be moved around the house when you need to.
Tips of Home Furnishing:
• If your new home is in a pre-planned community, check out the developer's model home for pieces you like. They may be a bit worn, but often the developer will sell off the home's furniture after a period of time. It's a great way get room sets that are already coordinated.
• When furnishing a living room or family room, choose 2 loveseats rather than one huge sofa. They'll be easier to move and can be used forming a corner seating area, opposite each other to create a conversation spot, or separately in different rooms of your home.
• When looking at used furniture - or any used furnishings - don't think of what they look like now, but what they could look like with a little refurbishing. Maybe that coffee table wouldn't fit your living room now, but sand it down and add a coat of stain and it might not be so bad.
• Be creative with tables. Choose interesting bases and use plate glass for the top. Or make your own side tables (round or rectangular) of plywood, then cover with an under cloth of felt (for softness) and a decorative tablecloth of coordinating fabric. Use these in a living room or as nightstands by a bed.
• Buy lamps, vases, side chairs, and pillows in pairs. They'll add symetry and continuity to a room. As you move, they will also offer the option of using each piece in a separate room if necessary.
• Choose a color scheme and stick to it. Start with white or your anchor color and select fabrics and accessories to compliment the color scheme. If you carry the colors throughout your home, you'll be able to move furniture and accessories from room to room. They'll look great wherever you place them.
• Again about storage: If you're short on built-in storage like closets, try to select furnishings that have storage in them, such as a coffee table with drawers or a cabinet at the entry instead of an open table. You'll be amazed what a difference just one drawer or shelf makes.
• When you're arranging furniture, try to think 'outside the box'. Use furniture or accessories in unexpected ways, such as a loveseat at the end of a bed, a TV hidden away under a tablecloth, or a big dresser that holds video tapes.
• Don't be afraid to experiment! Find what works best for you in your present situation. If you've selected items with versatility in mind, you'll end up with an arrangement that's just right!

Can anyone help me with furnishing our house in Paphos, Cyprus?
By: Nicki | 29-10-2008
We visited a number of shops with the developer in Paphos and picked living room furniture, bedroom furniture and kitchen appliances. However we need to sort out lighting fixtures, kitchen utensils (including plates, saucepans, cutlery, glasses etc), linen (including bed linen and towels), curtains and rails and other necessities such as bins, cleaning equipment etc. The company we have used previously are quoting expensive prices for all these things (and they are not to our taste - we want to retain a Cypriot feel to the house) and they are trying to persuade us to get blinds, expensive glass light fittings etc which we do not feel are necessary and we are now nearly at the end of our budget. We are trying to co-ordinate this from the UK and I assume it is impossible to pick these things here and get them sent to Paphos - or is it? Please can anyone help? Thanks so much.
